Helpful Suggestions/Feedback Vs. Whining and Complaining

I'm done complaining about this game or any game I may ever choose to play in the future. If I don't like a game, I can play another game. I could even stop playing games altogether. No one told me I had to start playing Neverwinter. No one forced me. No one forced me to spend money either. Even if this was a subscription-only game, it would still be a choice whether I paid or not. No one has ever told me that I had to start playing a certain video game. (Except maybe in elementary school when they forced us to play Oregon Trail on the computer. Though I could have said no and got detention probably.)If I don't like the game anymore after awhile, I can just stop paying and playing. I've done it before. Everquest 2 comes to mind. No one at Cryptic or PWE owes us anything. They made the game, they're selling stuff, they want to pay the bills and make a profit. If you or I decide we don't like something, we can just stop playing.

And none of us know how much it actually costs to operate this game. A game that lets you play for free is trying to make money? Oh, no. It's terrible. lol.

If we really want people to stop making garbage that we really don't want to play, then we have a choice. We can stop playing the garbage and stop paying for the garbage. I'm not saying that Neverwinter is garbage. Not at all. It's the only MMORPG I would even consider playing at this time. Because the combat is fun sometimes and I like my characters. Other than that, I could care less. But I'm not gonna complain that I don't like something about the game ever again. I can just deal with it or stop playing. Sure, if I discover a bug or an exploit that's not working as intended, then I should report it. But I should first use the search engine function on this game and see if anyone else has reported it already. Why should I waste my time posting about something that someone else has already posted about? Am I that bored? lol.

*And how do we even know that anyone that matters is ever going to read or hear about what we wrote anyway? Most of us on this forum are just spinning our wheels and wasting our time. If we care so much about our characters, why don't we just shut up and play? Maybe we'll get good enough gear so that nothing is hard anymore. That pretty much anything can be soloed or done with minimal help. Don't like that it's possible to do that in this game? Too bad. Go try to find a game where it's not possible.

    Now, I totally don't blame Cryptic for not advertising the 50% mount coupon that lasted for 24 hrs.

    http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/neverwinter/#/discussion/1213855/maze-engine-explorers-pack



    Plus the word of mouth, and the fact that the pack was available to claim for nearly a month... I don't think you can make a case that they didn't let people know it was there.

    Pure -> Transcendent Plague Fire weapon enchantment giving 80damge/20 seconds for 500k+ AD is a joke.

    i generally failed to see the tread's other motives besides "do not complain its free"

    and i disagree - why couse i like the game
    there are other f2p s out there and i choose not to play them and not to complain about them but...

    My liking of dnd started as soon as i got my first PHB more than 20 years ago, evolved into CRPGs as soon as Baldurs and IWD came out and had its pinacle with NWN..... so imagine how happy i was about NWO.

    But yes:
    i will complain when a tooltip is wrong (zantharim lock, some skills general unclearity).

    i will complain when a enchant is broken or two.

    i will complain when a patch has 80% of the new things are not fully working

    i will complain when halfbaked dailies destroy entire zones

    i will complain when imo other players gain unfair advantage when using broken mechanics and it does not get fixed for months.

    i will complain when the 35$ mage pack is a recolor of some old item

    i will complain that with enchants in my armor i look like a lightning ball and all the fashion in the game is lost to my character

    - why because i like the game and want to stick with it.

    some do that and some do it just because the can.........

    I thought the forums was one of the tools players had to leave feedback, opinions, details, faults, complaints, pedunkles, humperdinkles, what ever you prefer to call it........attention to things they find needing it about the game. Or did i miss something in how the forums work?

    One thing you usually do not find is players leaving the happy thoughts or kind words of things when they go smooth.....Maybe we need more happy thoughts....just sayin.

    People that are pleased and short on time would rather cheer in game and continue to play. People that are unpleasant would rather at tab or at f4 and rant on forums.
