I've been a paying customer in Entropia for 8+ years.
I am down 10 to 15K peds in the last two weeks and my biggest loot? A whopping 267 ped global, and 10% to 50% returns no matter what I do on anything. Eco or not, amped or not, big mobs small mobs. Most weeks I do not get even a single global on anything no matter how much the cost to kill or the cost to click or the cost to drop is.
I hunt as big of mobs as I can, for weeks at a time on end minus a few hours for sleep. Done so for years. Yet my biggest hunting loot is capped at below 400 peds. I am naturally skilled at around level 40 in blp and laser. I do not get to loot ESI's or any good items.
I have dropped insane amounts of bombs, amped and unamped, with amps ranging from level 2 to level 13 and before the new system, OA 102's to OA109's. I have done maybe 2/3rds of my drops unamped. Yet, in 8 and a half years of massive mining spends and cycling and recycling of loots, I still can't tower, and I MIGHT get a single mining hof per year. If I am very lucky, two hofs. And they are almost always JUST over the threshold that would have made them a global if they were any smaller. I have been nearly to level 50 in prospecting and surveying, naturally skilled, and chipped out some skill to test theories and I am almost back up to level 40. Keep in mind, I can drop hundreds of peds before I even get a skill gain, so I can't help but feel something is wrong. But, I have seen with my own two eyes one day old noobs hit towers,,, yet an 8 and a half year old avatar can't tower? Even with the hundreds of thousands of peds lost averaging 50 to 75% returns with markup 90% of the time? I am capped at 3,464 peds in mining. It is ludicrous. And I can bomb amped with level 8's or unamped, for weeks on end and not hof at all, on foma, in hell, OR planet side.
Crafting... I've crafted quantity, I have even crafted a lot on condition too and everywhere in between. For what I've clicked, the 1,320 ped loot cap I have in crafting is asinine. There are a ton of prints that Ive done a ton of clicks on even on quantity and don't have a single success to show for on them.
I am tired of all the risk without any chance of reward. Why should I keep playing when there is no chance for anything to happen? You may look at my entropia life and will probably think "What's he bitching about, he's a noob." The hell I am. Several of you out there know exactly how much I am down in Entropia and are as bothered by it as I am, and those of you that don't know, well, my globals and hofs are inversely proportional to what I've actually deposited, or earned and lost inside Entropia, and lost and lost and lost. The more I spend, the more I deposit, the less loot I get. And this is why I am complaining.
Only reason I don't quit yet is I will feel like I have thrown away 8 and a half years of effort. I don't like failing at anything, but I just can't justify going after it as hard as I have done for these past 8 years.
REAL noobs who can't even begin to know how good we had it in VU 9 and earlier because they are so new, can't appreciate how bad loot actually is right now. How hopeless the situation is. I remember the days when you could hit unamped IX's and XII's on calypso routinely, like clockwork. Now you are lucky to hit anything over a V unamped. I remember when you seen huge mobs actually looting worth a damn. Now I look and see 3 digit hofs on the loot ticker for Daspletors and it's like, wow, why am I even trying if they are hunting some of the biggest game in the game and even they can't hof big. I don't know what is going on, but I know something is not right that the older players are by and large getting screwed over.
I do not know how much more I can take before I do quit. But there is such a slim chance of any reward now that there is no fun even in the pursuit of that chance because I know there is no chance. When you cycle and recycle five digits of peds into oblivion without hof or global, on any manner of things, why, why even bother any more?
I will give it some more time, but MA, please understand you are very close to driving away your most hardcore and loyal supporters who have kept your bills paid all these years. Think long and hard before you slay your golden goose forever. Are you going to do right by your long time players? Or are you actually trying to get rid of us?
