Take a look at who is complaining about this issue.
- Great lets pat them on the back for doing such a good job on getting our characters back. We are the ones who will further spend money so it is in their interest to keep us.
- It is their job to be active with the community. I am sorry you are used to the poor THQ*ICE admin activity. Also a lot of the questions asked did not have an answer. And take a look at the people who are complaining now and the ones who's questions were answered. Both me and Yurai asked questions that were relevant for the community, and not the "how do i run gateway?" Dont put me in the same class as those people, thank you.
- Again if they didnt a lot of people would quit as cash items are a part of our characters and our account. It is in their interest that people stay.
- The EXP event isnt for us as we have already capped and are on 100% for months. As we have stated earlier, having alts is not in our interest, and people who are 65 for months probably have 7 alts that were produced while waiting for the patch.
- Yet again, i think youre talking to the wrong people. None of the people who voice their opinion lacks the intelligence to OPT OUT by accident. We actually read announcements and have been active in helping other members to clarify confusion about in-game content, mechanics and technical problems. I believe INCLUDING YOURSELF.
- This last one is not an argument as it is their job to do so.
I had no problems with THQ*ICE before they mysteriously vanished. I don't know from when did YOU start to play but THQ*ICE was a pretty good publisher while it was around. If i knew the details of their downfall i could tell you more but since it is a secret, i dont know the details therefore i cannot. No one said gravity is not doing a good job, we are mainly asking where is the content that was introduced, since after the patch got here no one said a word about a few tiny things missing in the game from that list given to us and what the whole hype was about.
1. This game would have still accumulated money even if all characters were wiped, all of the people who are still infatuated with this game will continue to buy cash in order to give themselves that same advantage. As well as the general population buying cash items as a whole so its not a 'Win some lose some situation' in either scenario. Its called an act of kindness.
2. Yurai is angry about something that wont let her proceed father in the game while your weapon got nerfed. While you may feel weaker because you lost X amount of damage, the "people" you want to associate with who have similar weaponry experienced the same nerfs which in turn only changed the communities damage. Your reasoning on that discussion was "IAH and gPotato didn't make a fuss about it so maybe if we do they will change it". I am not going to dive into this topic at all for obvious reasons.
3. So the community is a majority of level 65s without alts? Is that the demographic this game is brought to? How about we make another thread asking for a seperate client and server for people who just want 1 character and constant progression, lets cater to the upper crusts every whim.
4. I am not attacking the community Tao, your missing the point. I am simply pointing out what gravity has and has not done, Yurai claims that the community is "shafted" and just because a group of players can't progress it is their fault since there was a clerical error in a newspaper. Who was the first person to reply to this thread? That is right, Calanor. I know it is their job as a admin but people can do their jobs well or poorly. I appreciate their activeness on these forums based on my experience on other MMO/game forums such as WoW, FLYFF, Maplestory, LoL, and more.
5. I reiterate, people can do their job well or their job poor. Would you rather have your ticket answered a day from it was sent or a week. How about people who submit tickets in video games and not receive a response at all? I believe that would be the proper time to consider the community "shafted" if that was a normal occurrence.
I started playing since Alpha and i know THQ*Ice was a good publishing company. Was as in past tense as it suddenly went down the drain. I quit the game when things started to get out of hand and rather then play a stacked game i decided to quit and come back in the future. You not knowing me is a good thing since the THQ forums were reduced to a bunch of petty squabbles and children which is a nice foreshadow of what these forums are slowly becoming.
tl;dr
No one is getting special treatment and making a thread pretty much pointing out the faults about a company does not mean they are going to pull out a new overhaul patch overnight to cater to a snobby minority of the community.
then again like Yurai said this is only my opinion. Feel free to say i'm wrong and continue to gauge my eyes with useless banter.
