I love this game, that's why I criticize things that destroy it, that's why the most of us is here.
1. Good for NC SOFT that they have (let's say..) "addicted" players like @Wockhardt. His arguments were like these : " I am cool", "game is cool", "ncsoft/ncwest is the best", "forum people are just crybabies"...
2. Don't wanna waste my time saying the same as I said before.
But simple example,
IoS 1 before update 200+ kk
IoS 1 after update 300+ kk
IoS after fix (if they fixed. idk. didn't tested yet) ??? (gonna be 150+)
Storm Isle was 200+
Storm Isle is 120kk+ now.
I must spend 100 usd for aditional def for IoS, and, if I wanna farm (like before) +$500. (I do not calculate Prestige+Destiny). One more time, slowly... I should pay 600 usd for rare items to be able to kill the same mobs with Z E R O profit. This is not the at first time, and I got bored of this. That's how casual gaming looks here.
In the same time, full-stacked nolifers are able to farm in toi 2-3 how much? 4-5.. 10 kkkk? Honestly I don't know, never been there.. But seems it's not enough that's why they are occupied Neutral Zone.
So even if we pay the same 200-300 usd they have 100x time more income, because they play longer/started earlier or just have friends in tops.
How to progress for a "new" player in this case? And I should overpay for the time that I simply didn't played. I mean I must throw tens thousands to gather all gear that people were collected for years. For what? To be able to farm more? It's ridiculous.
Excuse me, but I wasn't born for being diary cow. I don't wanna spend tons of money for pixels, and become the slave of them.
I am seeing zero progress and don't want to pay 3x and more times not for the "next level", but for the same.
($h1t.. wasted my time..)
3. I found that illegal servers have viable economy and real thousands of players.. Some projects exist over 10 years.@Juji how is this possible that illegal server clients have more options and they are much more optimized? We're waiting for years here for thing they already have.
4. I will play somewhere where I can get fun. Here is swamp atm. Friendly pvp .... lolololool
PS.
@Juji, @Hime, @LIME what about content makers (streamers, youtubers)? Any promo codes for their followers* Is your PR department alive?
