    I don't need super good gear to know how to play, thats the difference between me and everyone else.

    I don't care how good you are at knife fighting, a man behind an armored bunker with one of these:

    is still going to grind you into the girt every time. Enjoy.

    love How Gms Come In Here And Try To Make Good Of A Bad Situation. I Know Its Not Your Fault This Updates Here But Isn't Time You Put Your Damn Foot Down And Tell Them To Look Over Here And See The Mess They're Making? You Have A First Hand Glance At How They're Ruining Their Own Game And They Won't Listen. All Your Doing Is Generating Hate Towards You. Honestly I Don't Care If This Message Is Against The Rules. I Made My Char So I Could Enjoy End Game Tw, Which Thank You Very Much Is Now Gone. So Getting Banned Doesn't Really Matter To Me Anymore, I'm Already Looking For A New Game.

    I don't get it. I understand unannounced bids but why no refund?
    That is simply stupid. Not every faction has a money cow who can dump millions of coins bidding. Some of us have to spend days farming World Bosses so we can afford to bid without really relying on any member. Now you are telling me if we don't win a bid against another one that we don't even know the value of, we lose the money along with time that we spent making it?

    Way to go, even less reason for smaller factions to try TW. Disgusting update.

    CLEARLY we should CASH SHOP MORE

    pretty sure thats what they want or there wouldnt be pack sales every week
    OR EVER DOUBLE PACK SALE LIKE RECENTLY

    - lower dq price (make lowbies charge more)
    - take away salary (make higher level ppl charge more)
    - put packs in every week
    - PROFIT!

    Gear> skill especially uncharmed.

    You don't find it sad that that is what the game has come too?


    Sorry but I know a lot of players with **** gear and they can play far better then some with epic gear.

    It is not all about gear...gear imo is more for the player and his/her own character and want for it.

    In my opinion...

    1. The bidding process will no longer be announced; all bids will now be secret bids, and faction leaders will only be able to make a single bid each. The highest secret bid wins that faction the opportunity to attack the territory at the scheduled time.

    Not really a big deal... I didn't see bids being spammed during TW bidding times so I'm neutral on this.

    2. Bids will no longer be refunded. If your bid was not high enough to win, the coins involved will be lost. This should minimize the occurrence of dishonest or fake bids.

    THIS I know for a fact is bad. I understand if this is for coin drain to try to fix the economy but I know will have negative effects on the TW population.

    3. The TW victor no longer receives any part of the winning bid. This should also minimize the occurrence of dishonest or fake bids.

    I think #2 is enough to stop fake bidding but I guess this ok....

    4. Rewards for holding territories will no longer be coin-based. Instead, the rewards will be a combination of Mirage Celestones and the chance of being sent the Medal of Glory, an item necessary for attaining Rank IX gear. This Rank IX gear is still in development, and should be available in the near future. One Medal of Glory will be sent to one of the 47 territories at random each week. Rewards are as follows:

    This is probably the thing most people will rage about. TW pay mostly pays for charm bills (probably) and it still won't cover 100% usually. Mirages are sort of worthless. IMO, I think free gold is better as a reward but it won't happen. Can't go wrong with the Rank IX gear being free, but that's a bit too much IMO.

    I agree with less exploitation, but when will PWE fix things like...

    1) Flying in the TW instance

    2) Hiding in All-Class-Pets + Catapult

    3) Being able to directly attack the Crystal (which I'm sure isn't intended to happen).

    Sorry, but no, that is not the case. This is what I mean by players not knowing how to play. I've been doing things in pvp that players like to consider impossible since I started this game.

    Like getting 1-shot through hood! b:laugh

    Well greed is blind and the less money in game the more you have to spend in cash shop. Thats their goal. No matter how we rage no matter what we say in the end its about money in their pockets. We should all pick a date and on that date noone buys from the cash shop on any servers. When no money comes in on that day then maybe they will see how pissed we are. I agree with the very first post. If you dont want to have a game for the players then get a company who does.

    Looks like TW income drama from TW will be a history - it will be very interesting to see tenacity of a guild been brought back - true guild based on circles of friends, interests etc etc. No more rushing into the Strongest Guild like Domino. Personally, I don't see new TW system is necessarily a bad move - but mirages should really be replaced by something like Gold Hammer - least that 1 million coin chest from FF really does not make sense at all.

    However, another feature of bidding with gold for rare items added at the same time seems to be somewhat too - obvious ? it is going to flush ppls so it becomes a rich people's game.

    I predict the PWI game will be transformed. Some ppl will even leave the game.

    I'll continue to play but will only support server with the same amount of $$ each year as I paid last year, through cashshoping. PWI did a good job in graphics and game engine and deserve the support - but in no way I'll like to be getting squeezed like a lemon.

    I'll be logging back in to sell all my spare stuff ASAP, before coins dry out on the server, something tells me prices are gonna crash down and "profit" wont be a known word in the future.

    Gold prices will also go down in months to come, cause who's gonna buy it? The people farming the 20% reduced DQ items all day? for 400k a gold? I think not.

    And I will move to another game.

    And they dont care if we still log on or not, they care if we still Cash shop or not. I for one wont be from now on.

    Pro skills matter when you're fighting on a level playing field, AKA PvEing.

    In PvP, it has always been about gear. Gear wins battles. With some of the gear out now, you can be as skilled as you want and never make it past their charm cooldown.

    Gear has been winning battles since Deity and Grim.

    Perfect Horns.

    Sorry Frankie but you just proved the point of the person you replied to with this. Again you (the company you, not you personally) were not able to do anything to get the mechanics of the game changed, instead you just took the item off the shelves. We know you can control the boutique, but thats about it. Even still, people who stocked up on perfect horns still blast them from time to time, cause their utility was never removed from the game. So thats another citing of a failure for you guys to do anything to affect the actual mechanics of the game. And the TW changes is most definately the mechanics of the game.

    I'll just go ahead and rant.

    The TW changes are horrible. Unannounced bids aren't exactly my problem, but no refunds? No more income from owned land? That sucks. You've taken away the reason people TW in the first place. You've made PWI worse.

    The Packs were horrible, need I elaborate?

    DQ drops, still no compensation?

    People can Oracle, Hyper XP, and BH their way to lvl 100s and that wouldn't be a shocker because it's so damn easy now! And due to that, people aren't decent in doing their class's jobs. You've tainted not only the quality but the people. I remember when lvl 100 was worth a little bit more than that.

    People can cash shop everything, this game revolves around real money. Without it you're nothing, and that makes me sad because I love this game. Why worsen it?

    You people have thought nothing of the one who actually PLAY the game.
