Long time lurker, casual/semi-hardcore MMO player
I’m scared to admit this, due to the seemingly unanimous hatred for PWE on the forums (probably a bad way to start the post but whatever), but here goes anyways:
I work and go to school and have time for maybe 3/4 hours of gameplay a week. Haven’t invested any money yet but I will eventually. I’m currently level 29 and am really enjoying myself. From what I’ve experienced, the PvP, PvE, solo dungeons, and professions are a blast.
I think the important point is that as a casual player, I can play the game and still see progression when playing in a session lasting less than an hour. I can level up, earn a few AD, and learn a bit more about the 98+ currencies this game has. For those of you that have 5 60’s with maxed professions, you’re the minority. The only way to limit your progression would be through the implementation of grinding, which no one wants to do anymore after vanilla WoW.
You must keep in mind that this quick leveling pace does appeal to a large player base, and we will keep the game going as well. There will be more content for you hardcore players to experience once PWE implements it. For now, mess around, remain patient, or exploit a bug or two. Your requests will eventually be answered. But please, in the meantime, understand that there are those of us who like the quick pace. We will keep the economy going while PWE sorts out the current bugs/exploits.
And don’t give me the “Hardcore players buy more ZEN” excuse. Half my friends are founders and they play less than I do.
TLDR; Be patient, stop whining, focus on helping PWE fix the current bugs. Endgame content will come later. Some of us are, surprisingly enough, having a blast.

Also if you have a GWF or a GF enjoy it even more, no one if not for pity or masochism, will take you to a dungeon.
Game is new, you are lvl 29, you are also playing casual, you don't have much knowledge of the game.
BTW glad you are having fun.
As a GF so many people have added me to friends list from pugging, now every time I log in I get multiple pm's instantly asking me to come T2 with them. GF are not as hated/unwanted as so many try to make them out to be.
quote for the truth
I was in an accounting class that was boring me to death. Wrote this up while the teacher was answering a question
But there's an issue there. I'm not sure if any of you are familar with HoN, but when it went F2P, there was outrage. However, it turned out to be the best thing that happened to the game. The vocal minority doesn't always know best
Now I think the real problem lies in the fact that a lot of the issues being posted are legitimate problems with the game, however, their written or repeated so frequently that it gives off a whiny, annoying attitude. People need to provide constructive criticism (there are maybe 10 well constructed, helpful posts on the forums now) and help this game get better instead of "calling it quits" or berating the devs
Reek of bitterness.
Oh that OP is still level 29, still new, so "enjoy while it last"? I have been 60 for the past 2 weeks, all purple decked out (mix of T1 and T2 gears), and I have spent ZERO zen and real cash. AND I am also a casual gamer with full-time work and a family. AND I am STILL having a blast playing the game. AND I have been playing MMORPG for many years.
So, please.
I do agree, there are legitimate issues. But when they are presented with all the banter of a boys high school locker room, there is no reason to pay attention. They will get negative comments and thread will inevitably be closed, as it should be. Constructive criticism is a lost art. People also need to actually look at things before jumping to conclusions. They also need to understand that a company has many departments. The people working on new and upcoming products are not the people working on bugs, two different things. Also, others complain about the cash shop, and yet forget that the currency can be traded and earned in game. Also, this is player controlled.
Do issues exist, sure, but most of the issues can be seen in every online game out there and stem from the same place; the community.

Right you are. Totally hit it on the mark. I work in customer services. Now if one customer is happy with services they might tell one or maybe possibly 2 people at most they were happy or had a good experience with said services.
Now listen carefully to this part.
If ONE person is not happy with a service they got, they end up telling 10-15 people about how bad it was. A business doesnt want unhappy people telling others about the <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> services of said business. Said business will loose cash flow and customers wont want to even try the services offered. It builds up a bad reputation pretty fast.
Yes and it was so nice of cryptic to release the beta with all the known issues in the closed beta. Yes i am glad they couldnt fix them then and a month in and still cant fix them. How long was closed beta and this open beta? Add that together for me please and thats about as long as it has takin so far. Thats got to be what 5 months or more. NIce so they been working on known exploits for 4-5 months and still cant get it fixed.
This is basically the point I was trying to get across, phrased more eloquently. Forum trolls and angry posts won't get you guys what you want. Well structured and fact-backed constructive criticism will
^^ needs to leave moms basement for a bit and experience a thing known as sunshine! Would do you the world of good and god knows your demeanour could use some brightening up!
