Hey all,


Our developers have asked us to remove the Rank-attaining items from the DQ Shop.


This means that, in 24 hours, the Mysterious Chips and Wraith Officer's Badge will no longer be available for purchase with DQ points.


The devs' reasoning in this matter is that they are working on some new content involving gear, and they want to eliminate certain methods for obtaining Rank stuff, at least temporarily.

We'll see if we can get them back in at some point in the future, but for now I'm afraid they'll have to be removed. The good news is that the DQ shop will be updated again next month with at least one new item, and it's a good one.


These items (Mysterious Chips and Wraith Officer's Badges) will be removed at 5pm PDT on 9-16-11.

Those who were planning on buying them should purchase them now, before it is too late.



Thanks all, and I'm sorry about this inconvenience.

So basically the Dev's or PWI want to eliminate a FREE way to obtain Rep .
Because hey if the Dev's Really were worried about people obtaining rank so easily you wouldn't be having a rank sale this very day.

If PWI is going to change certain ways to obtain items, please do the honest thing and grow a pair and tell your members the truth, rather than hiding it all behind shadows and BS.


Thankyou

    TBH I don't really care about the rep or how its obtained or if you can farm and buy token to exchange for rep etc etc etc .
    The point being just more half truths to down right lies from certain parts of the company

    I speculated that PWI wanted people to charge, but didn't want so many people to get rank. Therefore, I thought that they would put packs at 60% off to increase demand for gold as well as price of gold, but they will make rank's sale not as steep as before. This way, rank is costly in both gold and coin.

    It'd be funny if it's really 10% as you said. Incoming rage threads about "RANK TOO EXPENSIVE!?"

    Frankie can only say what he's told to say if he likes his job. Did anyone ever think that maybe the reason we don't have spoons is because of how honest and close he was to the community? He didn't beat around the bush, and corporate minds don't like that very much.

    Frankie is doing the best he can with what he is allowed to do by the parameters of his job.

    ^ Sadly...

    I really liked spoons, just as much as anyone else. Honest people in your company is vital in my opinion. I really hate corporation mindsets 99% of the time. What ever happened to honest service?

    Yeah... i try to say PWE instead of frankie because i know he's just a pawn.... And it's something very instinctive to blame the GM instead of the company, because it's the GM who speaks.

    Then... just replace 'frankie' for 'PWE' on those posts, and its fixed b:victory

    Its sad that Frankie doesnt have faith that his abilities will land him a job in another game company. Must leave a bad taste in his mouth to have to spew the **** they give him to deliver to us.
    Oh well, only a few more months until new games go live, Ill enjoy the show as best as I can until then.
