... and the worst is that MA does absolutely F all to remedy this situation ... I am sooo glad that after almost 20 years, I have zero investment in this game anymore. Mindark to me is amongst the worst managed companies, period. If I was the CEO tomorrow, the game would improve within a week. All that is needed is some honest communication and MA has failed to do that in the entire time I was part of this Universe.
Even is MA is on the verge of bankcruptcy (which I personally believe since a LOT of heavy invested players have withdrawn), they could still quite easily re-establish some trust by simply communicating. But they do F all in almost any case.
I am still watching EU and expect Mindark to either being sold within the next 2x years or the game will simply cease to exist. I personally doubt that they can turn it around ... Good luck all
