So what is the inside info I missed that is causing everyone selling out?
I mean, this shit is cray.
I fully understand "tipping points", and my friends, we have definitely reached one.
MA, it's about to get seriously bad, and you refuse to do anything right.
No state of the Union.
Wrong scores in MM.
Unanswered support.
The game is crumbling and you....do....what?
Lower Esi drop?
That's all you can think of? That's your retention plan?
I have been a depo whore for years, up until this this very day, and I had faith, but I must be blind, because no one else has faith anymore.
And, apparently, MA is just a silent monster sinking back into the depths of oblivion, never to be heard from again.
Please act like you deserve our business! It's time to act like men.
I don't want to leave. I love this game. But FFS, please start doing things right.
To PCF, what are your thoughts?
These are my thoughts, please give me yours. Bash me, tell me I am wrong, I WANT to hear it!
I want to be wrong about this black hole that I feel we are sinking into.
Edit: I moved this response here from the second page, to aid the dumb ones who don't read everything but comment.

There is tons I haven't said...
The esi drop is at all time low, reducing cash out of skills.
The graph of the value of items being sold (excluding MA's sales) on au and on forums, over the past year, looks like the left half of a picture of the Matterhorn, with today being the highest.
The non-stop events, and they don't even care to score correctly...they just keep running the events.
They don't fix anything.
The sell-off of the items by MA.
Rx hofs. MA ava's (not the obvious ones) playing and looting. They stopped caring to police themselves.
Allowing one planet to run non-stop boss spawns, while saying fuck you to CY events, and to RT requested changes. "OK, ARK, you did pretty good and helped us make money...we will let you do what you want now since we are closing up shop over here anyway, and getting all the ped out of them we can, so go ahead, do the same."
They refuse to answer questions.
The delays regarding withdrawals.
Most support cases where refunds are due are ignored.
No follow up the the CLD plans. (This one I was 100% sure of since day 1), ALL THEY WANTED TO DO WAS GET THE CASH OUT. Absolutely no long term plan they alluded to was ever implemented.
EVERY sign is that of a company gasping it's last breaths.
It is almost cliche.
I know every move like the back of my hand. This is exactly what happens all the time, in ANY business going under.
Financially, on paper, they look ok...well, they look like any other company with similar income/expense/etc does when minimizing tax liability. But it is the opposite of how you would make the numbers look if they were selling the company. At first I thought this was because MA was fine and wasn't in a hurry to ever sell the company, but now I just think it's because there are no buyers, as MA raided the assets long ago, and no one would touch it with a 10 foot pole anymore.
There is tons more than I listed above, and sure, plenty of it can be discounted or argued against.
But there is a tipping point, like I said, with the failure of every company, and even if half of my reasons above are BS, I am still afraid.
