    Since you extending sales, how about you extend rank 9 sale. The only worthy sale you can do.

    Fine then who does control the sales? The marketing team? Thanks for the info and responding. I don't like the outcome, but I would like to hear more from you guys so we know we're being heard. So thanks. :P

    Yes, because all those big-shot stock investors actually went to PWI forums, read frankie's post, and said "omg we better sell all our PW stock because US-PW-entertainment is the company's main source of income omgzzz".

    In 2009, PW stock was $50, and right now...

    It's $23~ish.

    Ironic... How PWE's main competitor in MMOs is seeing a gradual rise in stock prices... Interesting.

    At least us when you are going to extend a sale a few days before the normal day for maintenance.

    Depends on the merchant. Tho handled rather poorly, this is great news :D
    It's kind of a push for merchants overall. Investors who bought up Packs/Tokens got hurt, those who liquidated stock to prepare for cheap Gold (like me) ended up neutral, and those who are relatively poor merchants with little to invest come out ahead because they have another month of daily profits to look forward to.

    Aw shucks... thanks for looking out for us! b:victory

    But in all seriousness though, while extending the sale without warning did hurt many merchants who invested accordingly, nevertheless those of us who speculate on the market are choosing to play with fire, so we ought to be prepared to get burned occasionally.

    The people who mainly got hurt were the free-to-play players who were smart enough to wait for Packs to leave before buying up their Rank 8 / 9. They're people who just want to play the game by the rules, and I've seen it first-hand how a company going back on its word and changing the rules without warning can ruin a lot of the planning and effort of the player who did nothing wrong.

    He really isn't supposed to be saying.

    The developers control this too. The F2P industry is the anomaly of the gaming industry as a whole, because publishers are the ones dictating the development, in this PW case, the exact opposite, which probably is why people's expectations of frankie being in charge of these things is going down the toilet, well, those who are becoming enlightened.

    Frankie can try and communicate, but really, it's up to the development team whether or not they care enough to go by his suggestions. That's the reality of this situation. Take it or leave it. Being "heard" is not much of a concept their developer from China cares about. The language they speak comes from their financial statements.

    It's not that I was hurt by buying up 2000 packs. At worst I can sell them all back at cost and break even if I really wanted to liquidate. But the lack of communication from pwi is frustrating.

    I've been waiting for R9 for my earthguard for over 2 months. They took away medals from DQ right before I was going to buy them, then when it's finally in the boutique as expected 2 months later, pwi says that R9 for EG is still "months" away from being implemented. At this point, with dissapointment after dissapointment, frustration after frustration, it's seriously considering that its just not worth it for me to play this game, let alone invest any real money into it.

    I think Frankie forgot to mention the Dragon Orb sale that will stack with the extended pack sale......

    So you think only merchants get damaged with this? If the stupid news would've been updated at the time they usually happen I wouldn't have lost 48 mils on fees... And I'm only trying to get money cause I wanna get R9 for this last week, but you guys decided to *** it all up with this bs...
    Ofc in top of that, gold prices are impossible now since you put the stupid packs till end of the month (we didn't have enough pack sales for like 2-3 months now?) and R9 sale, which is the only important **** you put on boutique, goes on till 15th

    If you wanna kick out of your game the non cashopper playerbase, you're going in the right direction, cause I'm getting so tired and fed up of seeing my hard job of trying to get money together during weeks, all gone in few hours of lazyness of some stupid that didn't update the freaking news.

    thank you

    PS/edit: Also you guys suck on giving info on the changes you do, not even one sticky here in the forum or a bump in a post news of more than a month.. I had to come here reading 11 pages of complains till I found it.

    Why not? Pwi is so expensive that most likely there are plenty of stock traders who play the game in between day trading.
    Honestly the way the whole thing is run the best bet is to open a margin account an short sale the hell out of thier stock....

    EDIT:I stand corrected.

    Howeverm I'm still waiting for Frankie to explain why duke shouts were promised to be taken care of next maintenence, then lo and behold, no maintenance.
    Furthermore, I'd like Frankie to explain why we keep going without maintenance every other week or so.

    Even a simple "I don't know" would be better than the constant silence he gives us. That answer would satisfy me at least.

    yeah, but it could be seen as painting the company in a bad light, which would probably get him fired. can't go admitting their U.S. offices are staffed by people who have no clue what's going on with their game.
