To add one more legit example to the list: Final Fantasy XIV: ARR. After phase 3 ends and open beta begins with what they call phase 4 (there are 4 in total and there's been a wipe after each phase so far) and if the same issues appear that have in Neverwinter, there will absolutely be a wipe. Even if those customers pre…

I stated my opinion on the current state of the game and why I'm unhappy with the outcome. I'm well aware of the players that would feel cheated if it indeed happened. I felt it was the best course of action, clearly the developers didn't. I clearly listed my issues in a thread where others have done the same. It was clear…

Holy hell, way to put words into my mouth. People are allowed to have differing opinions. I commented on the quality of arguments on both sides. You didn't "point out any fallacies". You've literally done nothing but completely miss the entire point of that statement. You should take your signature to heart, here I'll…

You should work on your reading comprehension (Just saw your signature and had a hearty laugh). I meant the general arguments between posters. Godwin's, Civil Rights comparisons, etc. You're absolutely allowed to have a differing opinion, I never said that you couldn't. Keep harping on the "Special Olympics" line while…

It's a shame, really. A full wipe would have helped this game in the long run, in my opinion. I stumbled on Neverwinter by accident and was pleasantly surprised. The combat was fantastic and I love the D&D world/lore as well as the Foundry. Once I hit 60, however, serious issues began to rear their ugly heads. Real money…

Reread my post. I never said this was worse and I also admitted I had a bias, one that I won't discuss due to how far off-topic from the current discussion we would go. I only stated that the developers actions during the beta concerning all of the exploiting and how they handled it were unsatisfactory to me. I made it a…

Fair enough! I'm glad you found a game you believe is worth investing in. Even for all its faults, it absolutely has potential. It wasn't how I believe it should have been handled, but I have a bias in that I stumbled onto this game while beta testing and awaiting another games release. I might be back to try Neverwinter…

There is a very obvious difference. He spent that over the course of ten years while experiencing an insane amount of different content that is absent from this game. He could just as easily reach the Warcraft players money spent much, much quicker while getting less out of a product. You're right about the customer's…

They painted themselves into a corner when they began accepting money from players. I also believe they prematurely ruled out server wipes and didn't want to be seen as going back on their word. That's still not enough for you to insist this isn't a beta when there are literally banners everywhere advertising it as such.…

I wouldn't see it as being the most disastrous. The important thing to take note of during early periods of an MMO's life is how the developers handle these situations. They happen in almost all MMOs during betas/launches and expecting otherwise would make you naive. If the company/developers handle it to a degree that…

Ah, so you get to express yourself while others with a different opinion should be banned for it... Riiiiiiiiiight.

You should know better than to listen to official/developer responses and believe them! Clearly, a forum goer has more insight than you or I as well as the developers. I'd guess it would go against his opinion to actually read information released by the devs though.
-
You brought all the flaming on yourself by calling for bans for players with a different opinion than your own. Should the threads be condensed into two separate threads so each side can circle-jerk in peace? Yup. Whether you like it or not, this is a major issue that a majority of the forum users are pretty passionate…

I ended up trying this game in between phases for the XIV ARR beta. Wasn't expecting much but I found a really enjoyable game, much better than I had anticipated! The combat was a lot of fun, the idea behind the foundry was wonderful, and I really enjoyed the style of the game. I thought I might ditch XIV altogether...…
