LOL, yes, I can predict it too: I get none, a few get a little, and someone else gets a lot. So I guess the system dynamics are NOT dynamic enough to qualify for *some* peoples standards. Yep, now that it is no longer characterized by continuous change, activity, or progress, we should all...

Maki - you are entitled to your opinion, I just believe you are using a far-fetched stretch of logic to tie the "dynamics" of EU into something that doesn't fit the definition of a dynamic loot system. The evidence is abundantly available, you simply prefer to look at elements that paint a...

Putting words in my mouth, now? I never said the meetings were ORGANIZED to give MA a chance. But without the meetings, what chance do they get? Really now, there is no projection here. A chance to put your best foot forward and represent a company for it's benefits rather than through...

I disagree with you. I don't believe control over the variables invalidates the dynamic nature of the system based on current usage OR the definition quoted. If this were so, dynamic (volume) gain, dynamic air suspension, dynamic link libraries, dynamic content, and virtually all dynamic...

Definitely. Although I would hope that some discussion surrounding the loot system itself was offerred up, lest the IRS conclude by default that it's an online gambling system and effectively shut it down for U.S. players like me. In the absence of this evidence, casual observance may easily...

We all need a chill pill here, I'll take the red one. Dynamic: ignoring the dictionary for a moment, we know something else about this word. It also describes language ITSELF. Yes, the dictionary keeps up with current usage because the language itself is dynamic. Words change in common...

More directly: Ahhh..... Dynamic! Seriously, though -- they use a legitimate definition as it is non-static. The system has constantly changing adjustments that include environment, user, and time based variables. In this sense, you cannot predict it's behavior (from outside the system)...

The U.S. has a capital gains tax, and the rules are complicated enough so that 4 different tax attourneys will likely come back with 4 different answers as to when it's assessed, how much to assess it for, and what that assessment is. My (unprofessional) understanding is that you can classify...

They have updated (and resolved) this issue. Summary (as I recall it): 1) You can no longer buy them. 2) All purchasers will get a refund. 3) They have stopped advertising it. 4) They are still looking at doing this down the road. This is no longer a live issue, in short.

Let's create an international law that says that all meetings held with government agencies must be disclosed, and use the boy scouts code of honor to enforce it. </sarcasm> Serioiusly though, if you suspect that something nefarious *did* take place, you haven't provided any evidence to...

Lava, I do agree. My problem is obvious as evidenced by this thread. You cannot tell someone that is upset (rightly so) about there being so many problems, that the list includes otherwise simple things that should have clearly been caught by the QC department. I'd just LOVE to be able to set...

Oh, for clarification, part of my "furor" *was* based on logic that appeared to support their "form over function" mentality (something that gets my ire fast and hard). MA has spent considerable time perfecting cosmetics while letting core functionality issues sit idle. I can't say that this...

Yes, I probably did over-react to the OP's use of negativity, and under reacted to the desire to bring about a resolution. I apologize for that wholeheartedly. I was somewhat primed for the flood of "negative VU threads" that came in, and it was probably just the straw that broke the camels...

Way to turn my words around, and also nice to claim to know my mindset when you so totally missed it, as evidenced by your faulty analogy. To use a more apt analogy: I never said that a doctor should ignore the broken nose because of a gun shot wound, I said that the gun shot wound takes...

I appreciate this response - and agree again that some communications about their failures is appropriate (and good). My point was simply that you can't expect perfection without ignoring their historical lack thereof. So, step one is to file support cases, to ensure they "get busy with it"...

Traf Rellik: 2005-11-13 Seems like only yesterday...

Whereupon you should expect her to say "we are quite busy handling the requests dealing with the new VU". ... and Richard Devil will update us on the R&R fund after the new VU, too...

Yes, let's not confuse a free market society with a manipulated market society here. Resellers are not the bane of EU. SOME resellers use manipulation, though. THESE resellers use the system against itself to ALTER the forces of a free market society in ways that give them an advantage that...

You will hear this put many ways, and hear it most often put simply as "it's dynamic". Your ava has cycles for all activities, and some days are just better than others. My guess (and it's only a guess), is that you really didn't get much different skill gains, but your sensitivity to those...

Upon reading this I asked myself "how constructive is this post, and what does it hope to achieve". I'm not a mind reader, but I sense a general lashing out at all things of no consequence in the scheme of things. Which is to say that it isn't necessarilly the individual things you are...

I enjoy the overall balance they've maintained between the different play styles AND community activities. Specific example: in most MMORPG-ish games, a very small number of guilds control everything with an "us vs them" mentality. Here we have many variations and levels of small and large...

I think I need to be clear about my complaints, lest they be taken as a form of general dissatisfaction. I am one of those people that will critique things that I care about, and if I don't care, will refuse to invest the emotional energy into. I enjoy/love/hate/care about EU. My complaints...

I don't mind them taking the time to get it right. That said: I just wish they'd be a little more upfront with us regarding how "on track" they are for a given timeline, especially for the major things like C-E, which has been part of the hype for a while now. If you are using it to hype the...

I was going to say that he's obviously overqualified since he's had experience in something "working right", but that would be taking the piss out of MA a bit more than I intended... SO: I'll instead say that MA probably couldn't afford someone with his talents... And we couldn't afford the...

The issue isn't whether they allow funds to be removed efficiently and quickly, it is that they were falsely advertising an ability to do it. This is now a corrected issue, and that's all I ever wanted - for them to "man up" and set it straight. I do hope that they provide a similar service...
