Its kinda sad to see so much envy and hatred when some players managed to be successfull and to time item waves well repeatedly. Ask yourself if you were the one doing well if you wanted all others to call you a cheat.
From a pure logical factor it makes no sense for mindark to have chosen avatars as it actually does not do them any good - im sure if they wanted to play false they could disable global messages and drain the lootpool without anyone knowing who did it - but they would only damage their own game concept by depleting the lootpool as more and more players would have even worse returns and loose the fun in playing.
We play this game to have fun and we deposit because we do trust mindark, if we didnt we certainly would be playing the wrong game
No offense but you mostly from what i've seen dedicated a lot of time to space with your MS and stuff, latelly more active on the ark event tho, but still the point here isnt really about the hof size and such thing nor hatred.
There is a lot of hate in this game yes because its RCE,
I gave my opinion, and even tho you cant really consider me a lucky avatar, I did and do fine overall in EU.
Point is, the chance to ever loot any remarkable item or something extraordinary, even a shitty discovery.
I never had one for example.
Items Cant say i looted a gun for example to hunt with, (not purelly to leech MU of someone else),
If i looted a gun i'd like the dps and would suit my gamestyle, i'd feel blessed, even if i try the mobs that drop it i know for a fact its not possible for me.
However some whatever they touch seems the timing is right for them all the time.
Not being jealous or hatefull, is just facts for everyone's eyes.
I'm happy overall with my EU experience, i love the game is why i keep at it even after 8 years of making my account, and overall I'm not at a loss at all.
I just believe MA should speak out more about the state of game and things being done because this isnt properly a 5dollar game for many,
Several thousands go into gear and auctions and such, and feels the bugs/protection and level of comitment for the player base isnt take serious at all...
I did ask support about loot waves, item waves,
What i got back was always about good timing, being effective and such,
I even asked if withdrawl affects your returns cos each time I commited a large one i had severe reduction on my loot.
But the answer is clarifying... but not the results
