Oh...I voted all right. :computer: Believe me.

I would think that actually putting stuff in loots would make people happier and more willing to depo and play which would cause more money to flow to MA - i.e. everybody wins. But hey what do I know...

I didn't read this whole thread so sorry if it's been asked: Since this dude cheated the players why don't they just put these items back into the loot pool so the game benefits as a whole?

Cheap. Tacky. Scammy. Typical.

You have been around since '06 and you are surprised at their attitude? :tapfinger (I should include here my warm fuzzy thoughts of ponies and butterflies and doublerainbows, lest I get banned :whistle:)

See you 2013 then.

wait.. what? :scratch2: Methinks the translator went wonky.:laugh:

How 'bout we do this: We choose a different starting point and reverse engineer the game so that it meets the criteria. Starting point: $15-$20 deposited will allow any level of player unrestricted play for a month before it runs out, while still allowing for MA to pay their bills. IMHO this...

yes, and I'll say it another way -- why spend money on an advertising campaign for your restaurant when you have a renegade motorcycle gang staffing the kitchen? you'll get new customers yes but they will be abused unhappy customers and they will be out there in the community telling and...

I agree 100%, and I've posted this sentiment more than once IIRC. So, the community is bitching in pain for absolutely NO Reason, eh? MA are totally upfront and honest since day one about everything they do, and treat their playerbase with the utmost respect, eh? I think not. MA needs a...

I totally agree with you 100%. Normal rational business sense for any company out there. But for some odd reason nobody has been able to figure out yet, MA just does not operate like that. Never has.

...bingo. :computer:

...of who's money?

Truth needs no defense.

...made of pixels.

Translation: "a Substantial Entropia Universe Marketing Campaign" is MAspeak for "staff bonuses and expensive vacations while we throw some player made video clip up on YouTube", and "further development" is MAspeak for "sly new ways to milk the playerbase". I'll leave it at that. :monkey:

One of the main reasons I decided to stop playing or cut my depositing to Entropia Universe was that there were not enough opportunities for avatar progression. Strongly Agree Agree Niether Agree or Disagree Disagree Strongly Disagree Happy the way it is One of the main reasons I decided to...

Yeah operating according to legal parameters can sometimes be very ....constricting, shall we say...? Madoff didn't admit what he was doing for a damn lot of legal reasons too. Just sayin'.... :computer: edit: Also you oughta consider - if it ever does hit the fan and MA does get into legal...

y'know, for a game that is not an online casino, I see an awful lot of online gambling techniques being applied. So it's not an online casino, but to survive, you have to play it like it is one, amiright? Play it like a casino, you'll be ok, play it like a game, you're fkked.. is that the way it...

And I'll add to that: When we ask questions, we get stonewalling, silence and spin. When we talk of action to get to the truth we get intimidation and threats aimed at our accounts. MA have somehow over the years trained the playerbase to think that MA hold all the power in this relationship...

IMHO that revenue plan's been changed for a while now.

I would guess it'd have to be a leaderless movement? Could say 400 people be banned for not logging in, and if MA did that how would they justify it to the gaming media, and what kind of legal precedents would that create? Wouldn't that ban end up costing them money as well as further damaging...

Yeah they are good at keeping their cash cows.. well... cowed. Firstly I'm not trying to organize anything at the moment. Secondly I suck at leadership skills. Someone else sharper than I should take it. Thirdly I'll take the hit, if it means we ultimately have a better game out of it. Hell...

Not entirely sure I understand completely -- do you mean that MA would reward the ones ingame during the protest, using it as a "see you could've had this too" to the ones protesting? Yeah agreed that's exactly their manipulative style of customer relations. But .... IMHO those who would be...

Maybe there should be some sort of scheduled thing where everybody agrees to stay out of the game for a day or three to send MA a message.. an "UnOccupy EU" event, if you will... maybe at least it will open up some kind of dialogue with them.
