So, after my playing faze, and whining faze, i think its time to start rethink faze.Let me just summarize it up real quick.
Ive seen a banner with Neverwinter online, and since i love D&D i persuade my 2 friends to start playing with me.So we start as folowing : CW, GWF and me as GF.We level side by side to 26th level, and then the ecstasy start to wear off.
We encounter some glitches, problems with roll on loots,Lore and D&D emptiness, speculations about ZEN and a whole economy, broken classes (me) and a whole chart of other problems.The problems would stack up, and eventualy i was the only one that was still ,,playing,,.Thing is, when i reach 34, i spend more time on a forums trying to solve my problems, or just find out what is my exact problem and where/how/when would it be fixed.That was maybe my biggest mistake, because i discover a tons of other problems that other gamers detect (PVP afk, quee times, etc).So after a week or two doing just daily quest, waiting for fixing, and spending more times on forums (my 2 threads
http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?239401-Do-we-actualy-play-D-amp-D/page11&highlight=play,
http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?245171-Needers-Greeders-and-those-whith-a-full-bag!/page7&highlight=Needers%2C+Greeders ) then in a actual games.And since there was a little-to-no feedback from DEVs, i realy give up hope and stoped playing.Now im just waiting for Warlock, and dont realy know if i will start again...
So, that was before my younger brother came a 2 days ago.He is a 15 (Im 23 Male) and ask me what i was playing back then.So i just showed him a link with ,,try it yourself,,.And he did!
Now he playing a rogue.He is over 20 level, and apart from technical question (like what are these enchants, what profesion i should take), he dont question ANYTHING in a game.Gameplay, graphics, lore, combat system and its classes, pvp, questing...Nothing.He just doesnt care.He put his own music instead of NW soundtrack, he dont read lore, he dont need anything related to his character apart from owning some shmuck in a domination.He doesnt care about broken economy, he doesnt question DEVs dessisions.If he could take a card and buy something, he would do it, because he is happy about current state of game.
So there it is folks.I realize that I am NOT a targetet spectrum of gamer.He is!That doesnt mean i despise my brother.No.I was just blindly convinced that people who played D&D in a past, or have some Role-play experienced would be priority.Fact is, i am a minority, and it was my own fault when i make an *** of myself as i keep bothering NW community with my unimportant concerns.
I am realy sorry Perfect Entertainment for spitting on your game (That is in Beta after all) and thus discourage other players from enjoying the game by my twisted opinions.
Thank you for your time...

players want dnd but at the same time they want something different, they want single player experience but an online game, they want action but it has to be very tacitcal, they want deep customization, but it has to be balanced and with easy access....
ddo was more traditional dnd 3.5 and look what it got them? players just play through games very fast...it is what it is but has nothing to do with the game not delivering.
People are complaining and saying things like - it should be more like EVE, look at EVE people there are playing for years. But these very people are not the ones playing EVE themselves? Why? Because they would get bored with EVE as well...its not the game, it is You.
Ok, but we can keep spitting on them for their servers and customer support though, right?
