Why should I?

Why should I, or anyone else for that matter, ever spend another dime on this game?
The value of a real dollar in this game has been trashed by another unpunished market inflation.
Why should anyone spend their real money just to compete with people who created theirs out of thin air?
Not me.
Never again.
Thanks, i'll just play for free now, or I wont at all.

I do not think they will make that mistake this time. Also, the massive AD pile cuts into their profits - if the AD gets sold by someone else on a 3rd party site.
It would just be a sensible business decision to do something drastic now......but we'll have to wait and see.
I have personally spent a quite significant sum of money on this game, but ...
WTB Class Reroll please
I dont post here hardly ever. If they remove this thread then so be it, but its the realist question i can ask.
Of course it will. A legitimate suggestion thread got closed because they didn't want troll posts. I thought a moderators job was to clean the board of negative posts rather than go overdrive and inhibit fair discussion. Anything can be trolled so why not just close down the whole freaking forum?
Some people like me like making ad. MMOs are meant to be about progression after all. Nothing wrong with having goals.
Its a bit more complicated than the value if the dollar, just being about whatever the zax is imo. When you spend cash you are investing in this game more than the items you obtain.
Its hard to explain that value is just as important as the items you receive with it.
With the current state of the exchange and overblown prices on the AH I'm just sitting on whatever AD I refine as there's nothing I feel is worth spending it on. I wont be coerced into enchants above rank 7 due to the stupid amounts of time required to taken them higher for a small increase, just not worth it.
I do have some zen sitting in NW but it won't be going anywhere near the exchange as doing so would, to me, be like admitting that cryptic/pwe are handling their side of the economy well. They're not!
This is completely incorrect. There is no feasible way to farm gear in dungeons right now due to the chest bug. That leaves buying the gear on the AH as the only option.
Even though I agree with most of what you have been saying in terms of this general exploit, I have to disagree, the last 3 weeks give or take has seen broken DD's , so in one aspect, they HAVE stopped working, been trying to get my AOW set for my GWF in that time frame and ITs not working at all, Im about 40 runs into both SP and Karrundux and all I ever get is the same 3k salvage belt or a 5k amulet.
This isnt working and its a widely know issue, whatever they did to the loot tables isnt fixed. So in this aspect the DDs ARE not working and haven't for quite awhile.
This should be a top priority fix IMO.
Now THAT is excellent wisdom/advice that many players need to heed. Listen up, one and all!

The thing is I've done every dungeon and to progress I've been doing CN many hundreds of times and sell the loot between the five of us. It's a great way to earn while playing the game and we're rewarded all of the time. Now for a while now I've not really been dungeon anything important gameplay wise. CN is dull, the refinement system is a pain above epic level with not much need in anything above rank 7/8s when any gain is kind of minimal. The new dungeons are highly unrewarding so what else is there for me to do? Crafting and making AD through the AH while waiting on mod 4 to come. If it wasn't announced early I would have most likely left just because there's little now to keep me playing. At least with making AD I have some form of progression that I can save up/reinvest.
CN gets boring if you have done it so many times and I'm not wanting to do any of the other unrewarding or stale content.
I don't ever see them take any strong actions against those that do things wrong and that is never healthy for a game. I suppose they are thinking that they will profit more from keeping these people but all they will do is lose the rest and end up with a bunch of thieves playing -- and do they really expect thieves to pay them?
Ouch! That's a thread-closing statement right there . . .

this thread will be closed anyway so it really doesn't matter, and "the can" is where 90% ot the comments are going theese days lol the only thing they can do to stop me from giving really bad review of the current state of the game is making my laptop explode and erase me from the internet
This hasn't been the case in other MMOs that I have played; maybe I have been lucky. It may be just the impetus that some people need to take their discretionary spending elsewhere. It's a shame, underneath is a good game, somewhere.
Three day bans or any other temporary ban will in no way cut it this time , these people need to have everything linked to them and their accounts stripped , they have wrecked the games economy.
In my opinion everyone who purchased at least one pack should have free access to all other or following expansions (so founder should have access to the feywild as well for example, it was expensive enough). Its not like these ppl wont spend some money for other things. Or these should get the option to enlarge their pack to another one with only a few bucks.
- Dualspec
- Better rewarding foundry and foundry pvp maps
- Custom PvP leagues with leaderboards instead of the current 'matchmaking'.
- Armory
- make jumping cost stamina (to reduce hopping in pvp)
If people can just cheat to get there char this strong then it will make the pvp side of the game fully broken and many people who play just for pvp will have no reason to spend money or really put time into it anymore. The people who use exploits to get advantages over other players should be banned.
If it was my choice all the people who cheat for AD should have all there items taken from them, given a peasant tunic, 1 AD and forced to wear the permanent title "I am a cheat".

Dude join legit, just be prepared to 1. run the actual dungeon , without speed running , bypassing content with exploitation outside of landscape (you know finding glitch paths) and 2. most runs are greed all. (the very worst moment of my entire time here was due to a bugged CN run, worst time ive had in game, which made me seek out a different playerbase to run with and thats when I found legit and I would add 3. have a good attitude, dont do things commonly considered rude, or out of bounds in most other mmos you have played.
If you dont want to do those things, ya, your out of luck probably.
I think there are really 3 different divisions of pvp.. the first time player, who gets to 60 and wham , doesnt know what happened, the middle class who knows how to gear up for most pug matches and the top end pvp players.
Generally speaker the average middle class pug group of the 14-16k gear score, is probably like 50-60% of the pvpers, there are lots ot pvp in this general gear score range and if the groups are in this range against each other, the matches are fun.
It gets bad when either too many of group A, the newbie low gear score, wearing lvl 1 shirts and the C. top end pvpers get into the middle class division.
I still think there might be need of a seperate queu's for everyone. Class A, below certain gear score/tenacity, Class B , above A but Below C gear score range + tenacity gating and C. Those 5% top end that deserver thier own queue.
I reasonable cannot tell you how to make this happen , or if it can hapen, but I think as the game ages, WE Cannot have 22k behemoths sitting on node two fighting a entire team by itself while eating icecream with one hand.

Well the thing is it isn't really my fault. I've played the game and they've failed to release decent content that is worth redoing. I should probably stop playing at this point, but I'm a little stubborn. We'll have to see how mod 4 plays out and if that will give me reason to keep playing. There's a new dungeon and class to be interested in, I'd just need to see how long term it is. If it's not as replayable it could be my last module. The artifact belts and weapons look nice for progression though the rng of the drops with it being bound sucks and when it requires more rp than normal artifacts yet you can only drop equipment 1 at a time, it could be a pain that's not worth doing. Epics are weirdly worth only a little more rp than rares which is odd since even salvaging the cheapest boe epic items and buying even 2 blues would give you more rp.
yeah I totally agree with this.
The main problem is that all 3 of those groups get in the same games so its always unfair, and either a new player or a decent one they wont be able to do much against a high end pvper mainly because of his gear not so much the skill since a guy with 13-16k can have much skill. Now with these cheats getting so much AD they can get maxed gear and it will make pvp even more unbalanced.
I think anyone who uses these cheats knowing what they are doing, should be banned or have some sort of punishment, not just a 3 day ban or something.
