It's quite enjoyable watching you become side-tracked as your argument crumbles before you. Are you having trouble believing your own words now? That means you lost.

Considering your post was whining about how much you suck I wouldn't really recommend anyone read it.

Ranking in a top 10 listing isn't everything, but I will say that if they don't up their game in regards to customer service then none of the other changes they need to make (speedier bug/exploit fixes, class balance, etc) will matter. The survival of an F2P game is not based on a cash shop alone, it's also based on a…

To go through a door you must physically touch it, which could be seen as hitting. Must be your favourite game then.

People are more than happy to spend money on a game they enjoy but only if the price is right and as it stands, the price is not right. I feel they'd make more players happier if they split the prices. It's not a guarantee that they'll make similar profits but cheaper prices allow more people the freedom to spend money…

Even worse is people mistake passion for hatred. When people see a player complaining about the game they don't stop to think that he really loves the game and wants it to better. It frustrates him that it's not the game it could be. Some do just want to hate but many do not. This is my favourite line of the article but…

This is definitely one of those things where you need to put the effort in short-term to get good effects long-term. If you work at it it can be good, you just need patience. Personally I don't feel it takes me that long to keep up so I just check back now and again and play the game in the meantime. I don't mind. I play…

Whilst it is indeed debatable about paying for items in a beta, it's pretty **** dodgy. It's not as if they couldn't have reduced the price of all items in the ZEN Market during the beta or even did a refund deal during the beta so people could still test it. Testing something shouldn't require me paying money. Quality…

Purchased 10 keys, got it in 9. Didn't expect to get it at all so I was pleasantly surprised.

What sort of screwed-up management decides that it's a fine idea to force beta "testers" into paying real money to "test" a cash shop? If it was a test then all the items in the cash shop would be free. Oh, and nobody would be banned for bug abuse, because everything would be wiped.
-
The separation continues.

Most people don't like testing things with real money, just so you know.

Great guide. Nice passive way of making some monies and Astral Diamonds. Might not be the most interesting but it sure isn't hard. Takes about the same amount of time for me as arbitrage did on World of Warcraft, just requires a little more observation, that's all.
-
Cryptic make fantastic ideas and have plenty of potential. They squander it by working with a company like Perfect World. You don't need to have been banned to know of some of their work practices, some of which I've been party to in the past. That's how I know.
-
What!? You think that justifies taking $200 and then deleting your entire account on a beta with a no wipe clause? I don't think so! This has got to be the worst customer service I've ever heard of! It doesn't matter if they refunded his items and gave him a HAMSTER amount of Zen back, it's the fact that not only did it…
-
Alongside the ever-constant whining from people who got banned these topics are actually no better. You salute Perfect World with such ferocity but never question why they banned these people to begin with. You make assumptions based on what you think is true and trust a company whose primary goal is making money and has…

There is a point where the time necessary to get the AD becomes completely and utterly inefficient. For example: To get the best enchantments right now I can either pay through the teeth or I can spend the next ~6-12 months farming the Astral Diamonds for them, at which point more content will be updated and the enchants…

I, for one, am glad at the quick pace of leveling. I think leveling is an outdated mechanic that needs to be seriously looked at in future games. Though I understand the necessity of leveling as a learning curve I think other ways work just as well without a tedious grind. I also understand that many people don't agree…

If you're rich enough you don't need skill, you can buy a Scroll of Life and keep using them to avoid death. Scrolls of Mass Life will help you and your party! The biggest problem with the pay-to-win model is that it creates a huge rift between the rich who can afford to buy these items and those who cannot. We already…

I don't generally agree with Kripparian but he has some solid points. No point in arguing it though. Fanboys will always disagree (of which this forum has many) and PWE already has shoddy business ethics, why bother changing something when it makes them thousands of dollars?
-
You know, I never found the excuse that healing is a "thankless" job as justified. I have rarely seen people get thanked for doing their job well and those who do tend to comment on each role equally. If you're a good healer and get no complaints then take that as a compliment. Your thanks is no abuse. Same applies to…

Economies are living, breathing things. I don't think many people actually understand the weight even an economy can have on a game, virtual or not. Such issues become more prominent in games such as Neverwinter where it is possible to trade real money for items as well as currency used for similar purposes. You cannot…

I thought that "Open Beta" meant something, too, and fought adamantly for the defense, but after finding out that Cryptic does not plan to wipe characters after this "beta" it suddenly occurred to me that this isn't a beta in the least. Beta used to mean another testing phase, now it's another buzz word used by developers…

F2P games aren't the problem, pay-to-win is. Not only this but if you're basing the concept of F2P on the social interaction then that's not the games fault either. Are you seriously trying to blame Cryptic/PWE for another player being a total jerk? Subscription games aren't better. You think people behave better because…

Situational moves are just that: situational. Knockbacks are great when you can get rid of them entirely (smacking 'em into pitfalls) or when they're chewing on your Clerics but otherwise it is usually a total dps loss. Total as in your total team damage suffers, not just yours. Groups are about teamwork. Having the…

So what you're really saying is you're a total codpiece. Yeah, I can read between the lines.
