The only ignorant one here is you. As with STO, the AD/Zen market will self correct over time. It doesn't matter because you can't play anyway. So, in reality, you are just spending time on a game forum that you don't play. Your life is clearly meaningless.
the market doesnt self corrent by means of magic, its because of offer and demand
STO is a game that has failed, it currently has less than 20.000 plaers where it once had well over 500k.
obviously when the supply stays the same but the demand is cut by that much, people selling currency have to lower their expectations
thats what will happen here. the majority of the free playerbase will move somewhere else because the game is, simply put, hostile towards them, and those with money that can enjoy the game will have to sell the zen for dirty cheap just to get some of the scarce few free players left interested in buying.
at that point your looking at a moribund game which will warrant few if any support from the developer in terms of new content/patches r customer service. skeleton crew and be thankful for it.
just check PWI's track record, all their games have followed this path to the Z
do you want that to happen to NWO? thats pretty much what will happen, and I know because it has happened many times before. hell, PWi bases their entire business model in that happening, it isnt like they give a ****...
Strikerjolt, I am sorry you are feeling extreme hate towards the cash shop that PW and Cryptic have never hidden an intentions about. This is not their first game together.
You are a gimme... gimme this, gimme that. Your very first post was asking for a guest key and then offering to be someone's buddy.
Then you tried to be helpful... but no one posted...
"Write out your biggest problems and your complaints offering a solution so that problem.
Some of my problems with this game is that the control wizard doesn't feel as control-y.
There are some spells that just don't like impressive. (The Warrior's leap encounter).
It is balanced.... It's balanced by economics. If the prices were really too high than people would stop paying. The company still exists and the games it controls are expanding, so it seems that a good number of people are willing to pay the price.

So everybody that doesn't agree with you is a White Knight. Nice way to start a debate - you're just asking to be flamed and ignored, instead of bringing a healthy discussion.
I'll answer in a similar fashion then:
Dear Lazy Self-Entitled Player: Grind or Pay. That is all.
Have a nice day.
No, don't be over dramatic. I don't understand why people *always take things too seriously*
And as I said to the other thread.
Why does everything has to be the extreme?
34000 hours of grinding.
or coughing up a lung to get a mount.
How about.. you design a cash shop that's balanced, and rewarding in both areas. OH GOD. I'M A HERETIC. Preaching about an untold land of awesomeness!
But seriously. Wanting to be rewarded doesn't mean your self entitled. A game is *suppose to be rewarding. That's the point of most games* not wanting to grind for 2-3 months and play like a gold farmer to get what I want doesn't make me "lazy"
But I tell you what it doesn't make me.
A hamster.
Have you seen those guys?
They just run, and run even though they don't go any where.

I'm sorry.
How is paying 40 dollars for a mount in the cash shop
When I can spend 40 dollars an get 2-3 games off steam.
How can I not be mad about that?
Do you have any concept of money?
This is exactly the entitled attitude. You are not entitled to every game or product out there. Not everything is made for you. If you rather buy 2 to 3 games in steam for 40 bucks, then guess what, you can. Imagine that. And do you really think all of PWE games are dead? They have analyst looking at the data. If in a few month not enough people buy the mount for 40 bucks, guess what they'll do a sale to test price elasticity.
Anyway, I'm sure you are just trolling but sometimes its fun to feed the trolls.
I have to admit NWO is a decent game, I lasted in it a whole 2 days before calling it quits, which is 47 hours more than I last in the average PWI game.
also, doom and gloom are irrelevant terms. what matters here is reality, and obviously all I said is what will happen, because it has already happened many times before. its insane to expect a different outcome when they are doing exactly the same thing.

So move on. Your conjecture and predications as well as your flawed understanding of insanity serve no one unless you are simply a glutton for punishment. I find fools like you amusing
Archage looks.. interesting if they push what they promise.. but.... I dunno. Wildstar ... tough. It reminds me of Firefall and Defiance mixed together with a tad of WoW tossed in.. they are on my radar though, and cannot pass judgment until I play them.
likewise. I might quit the game but I'll keep an eye on the boards. more than a glutton for punishment, Im a glutton for someone else's suffering (schadenfraue as zee germans put it). I cant wait to see people like you finally realizing what the game is instead of what they though it was. Its a perfect moment of transcendence when you see the look of desperation and dissapointment in that guy's face (well, what you can derive from his posts at least).
I think I'll even bookmark this thread just for a bump in 6 months to a year, I just dont know how to say "no" to some mindless self-vindication from time to time. anyway I bet dollars to donuts that you wont be still here by then...but I'll search your last posts, enjoying in anticipation the inevitable breakdown you'll have suffered while giggling to myself.
Hey Saga... instead of quitting, why dont you hop on tonight and look me up. Let you converse and social with some folks from my guild. Then see what you say about the game :P

Lol, you are still posting on a game forum that you can't play. Sad

I barely play it, personally. Its just a nice thing to do to remind ppl to not waste their money.
This has been said by someone in every forum of every game.
you are just a condescending prick... grow up
