Yes, exactly, and that's what I'm talking about. 'Play smart' yes, what do you think I do? Why do you think I have over 100 AUD, CLD, and still own quite a decent amount of small loot I need to get proper stacks to sell? Don't worry about me playing smart, always did, always will.
'CLD is a huge risk' where? I can sell it off, I can make profit with it indefinitely as long as the game itself is running fairly decent, returns have diminished over the years, showing the game isn't running well, meaning there needs something to be done, also not rocket science.
'Looter skills don't put beginners at a disadvantage' What are you talking about? A skill which actively changes the loot returns isn't putting beginners at a disadvantage? That's either dumb, or denial, I don't know which of the two it is, but that's an actual given, there is simply no base of discussion there. If someone has a higher skill he gets more, either in MU or in TT, both is a negative for one not having it, simple as that, it's not rocket science there. Formerly no such thing existed, everyone was on a level playing field, not anymore.
As for 'you can play on 20 Dollar a month', yes, you can, hunting puny and absolutely nothing else as a beginner, and if you play it like another game, as a gamer who sees it as the main hobby... well, then you're out of luck even there. I'm not talking about that, many will always loose that amount per month, and as said, that would even be ok for me without a second thought, but not if it markets itself as a game where I can win IN THE MARKET. And deeds aren't the market, they are shares of in-game assets which return their dividends, same as stocks.
EU isn't broken in the sense that bigger mobs cost more, skills in EU always opened up more options for playing and nothing more, absolutely nothing more. Looter skills changed that for the first time since existance. Good idea? I don't think so, not a level playing field anymore, even if the returns at max are 1% difference, that's a 1% non-player skill based. Is it 10% though? We don't know, that makes it a secondary risk after the risk of already hunting something which has shown to be profitable long-term.
As for 'money has always fallen into my lap' yes... it did, since I play smart, and it's the sort of player like me which Entropia tries to get with their marketing strategies, people who want to compete against others in a changing marketplace, having to stay on top of their game. Not the subscription based gamer, and also not marketing to gamblers per se, since the game isn't a casino by their own definition, right? So don't turn around words however you see fit, everyone can do that, no skill besides those of a con-man in that, and we already have enough of those in the game.
and again a wall of text full with your negativity about how you can't handle it anymore bla bla.
Even in 2008 there were such posts, saying EU is broken and sky is falling. Nothing to do with the current situation. It's always been the situation for some!
I've not read a SINGLE positive suggestion from you. Only whine about you cant make it anymore and how bad things are.
For godsake, if I read all you're writing I'm starting to get depressed.
Maybe try to make it more constructive then?
And posts like, "if MA doesnt fix it for me I stop depositing" is not being constructive.
I consider that being a whiner.
Maybe make a new CONSTRUCTIVE thread?
