I like that they're waiting a month after release in order to give people the chance to see whether they like the game or not, and then decide if they want to spend money on the pack. I mainly like it because I'm in that group, lol.
I just dislike the blatant dishonesty of it. I understand the marketing angle of "get it soon limited time only". I am ok with that. I am not ok with giving specific dates as to the limited availability to push those purchases and then changing those dates. I am a big supporter of their need to make money... this is not a charity, but I guess I draw the line when they switch from marketing gimmicks to outright dishonesty.

Well what did you expect? It's Cryptic after all. I should have stopped trusting them after the mess that was CO, but since I'm a sucker for punishment, I bought their lies here as well.
They still haven't fixed the Panther's AI or attack speed. Honestly, I am not expecting much at all and they will never get another penny from me. The game is fine as F2P, and I haven't had any trouble selling the lockboxes on the AH.

For starters i would think this is a pwe thing not cryptic. Second I personally expect bugs and issues with the game. My point was there is a clear line when it comes to blatant dishonesty. Taking awhile to fix a panther you are worried about may bother you but is not an outright lie unless they specifically stated they are working on it and reality were not and have no intention of doing so. Long ago I stopped expecting an mmo launch to be without those sorts of issues that often take awhile to get fixed....sometimes never.

+1. Couldn't agree more. Also PWI penny pinching this game killed a lot of the enjoyment I get from it.
The very least they could do for those of us that paid 200 is give us 500 zenny per month promo like they do with STO lifetime subs.
Of course I bought because I have no problems supporting a company that makes a product I will enjoy, but it seems I am missing something and I can't place my finger on it.

As long as PWI runs the show, this would never happen.
You do realize the analogy he made was to another pwe game so your argument is nonsensical?
No. Cryptic did that before they were bought out and PWI couldn't change it. Its also why unlike SOE games, you can't use STO Zen in NWO and vice verse.

Here is what is posted at the top of the forums:
"The Founder Program ends 5/30. Become a Founder now before it's too late: http://nw.perfectworld.com/founderspack/"
So it ends 5/30.
Looks like one hand doesn't know what the other is doing.
