Hi,
initially wrote this for another thread (see quote), but guess it suits better here:
I have ta ask WHY THE FUCK DID YOU MORONS WASTE PRECIOUS PROGRAMMING TIME AND MONEY ON THIS BULLSHIT when there are sooooooooooooo soooooooooo many things farrrrrr more important then this digital fucking dribble.
Does MA/FPC/SEE think if they keep bombarding us with mind numbly useless shit they can kill off enough brain cells to make us forget the REAL Issues of this game.
I'd formulate it a bit more polite, but I just fear to have to fully agree to this.
This is embarrassing.
Until today quite some of the old systems, where a lot of people have invested a lot of time & money in, have not been recreated. For many, many months now! This means for some participants that the value of a small car, or more, is locked into this game. No interest, no chance to withdraw it without a huge loss, and only in case of the hangar owners a small compensation.
Other systems still are waiting to be made competitive, after many
years now, after countless announcements. Quite a lot of people have invested a lot of time & money into those, too. Again many participants sit waiting with partially heavy investments they did in trust of MA's promises, with locked money. Loss.
Why?
- Because useless junk like the grinding missions had to be developed. "Kill 10,000 of these monsters!", or "Visit this place, then those places" - how fresh, how new, how exciting! We haven't seen such in no other MMO's yet, right? In this way, only in most despicable Asian F2P grinders ...
.
- And now we got Achievements. Again, a revolution in game design! Copied from ...?
.
- We got the dreaded enhancer system that nobody seems to need but a few PK's. Where did I see this last? Wasn't my night elf priestess a full skilled enchantress?
.
- And we got vehicles that seem to have been stolen from a 70's Buck Rogers movie. Nice to have one (I have), but do they really add this much to the game but a little more comfort? But they work well well as EPeen. Winterspring Frostsaber anybody, or Violet Proto-Drake?
.
- Don't forget, we have in game voice chat now, only a few months after them Gnomen and Orken!
.
- And can spam the world with our in game successes via FaceBook and Twitter now! How cool, any pimply teen brat will now immediately deposit all of it's pocket money ... How could we survive this long without?
This all took a load of time to code. Time that had been able to be spent on problems that actually hit the purse, and the bank accounts of numerous participants!
While the game company is busily copying left and right from what they regard as more profitable games their participants get sick. Many are suffering a serious loss on their purses. Even more just took the way of "
Goodbye, and thanks for the fish." The economy is at an all time low, as are the numbers of participants on line.
MA is selling their silverware now to recoup the losses. But obviously they cannot see that it's themselves that kill this game! EU has a community that is very hardened in regards of frustration and broken promises, but even those one day will have enough. Especially when there's not enough Garcen Grease looted to ease the pain of getting bent over by MA, over and over.
This is embarrassing. Something should be done about.
Or this game will die, and this would be a pity. Making it a bastard of WoW, a few old Korean Grinders, Second Life, Barbie & Ken Online, and a few Web 2.0 features will not save their cute behinds.
We, the PE/ EU participants, have a lot of patience. We have shown over and over, maybe Guinness Book of Records would be interested? But there's a limit, even for us.
Other then in other MMO's PE/ EU participants are using quite some money for the game, often really big sums - "investment", right? And the day will come when someone will start a class action. Will MA's EULA wall then withstand the sue?
I know some fresh participants will not understand this, and will call me, and others like me, a greedy moron. But some day you'll get it, I'm sure. I might be gone for long then, but you'll cry for an extra portion of Garcen Grease, in despair. If not something changes.
Have fun!
