We demand 1.32exp for our efforts!

*sigh* I'll over-simplify this.

5300<6000 therefore no bonus experience.

We made a good effort, yes, yet it wasn't enough. That's kind of... it. I can't say much more. I'm sorry if you feel like you've been treated unjustly. Those with reason will continue to play in happiness

They want us to spend money on exp scrolls, for our effords.
That is even far away from a reward, it is not a reward, it shouldn't be the cause of our 5300 friends we accomplished.

If this is the way PWI treats customers, I'm done with this game.

My guess is that it's compensation for the failure to meet the goal. For those who buy training esoterias, this is a nice reduction. Also, to be considered a customer, you have to buy. They're technically treating the customers well : )

It hurts not to get the xp bonus but what do you expect when they use a dying social network such as myspace. Its a pedophiles playground and a **** bot blitz forget my space and forget the xp.

i agree with you

Elsavita,

You are clearly very frustrated by this turn of events as are many. I commend your efforts at trying to stand up for your perceived rights and for creating a poll and thread for others to vote, vent their frustrations or offer their opinions. However, I think that your "fight" would carry much more weight if your poll and thread title were not a demand, but rather something like "I think or feel we deserve a reward for our efforts better than what was offered." I also think it is in your best interest and the interest of anyone wanting to gain support in a cause to very carefully read and understand any contrary opinions posted before simply arguing by way of your feelings.

I agree that I think we should receive something better for our efforts and that ultimately, it is in the best interest of the management of this game to take this under very serious consideration. However, the couple of posters that have disagreed have valid arguments. We were not "promised" anything for falling short of the mark. 20% off of the price of the items is better than nothing and nothing is exactly what we were due to receive if we fell short of the mark.

If a poll were to show up asking us whether we a) feel we should receive something better than what was given or b) think what was given is just fine, I will vote for "a" and very adamantly stand behind that vote. As it stands, it was no skin off my back to send them a friend request and it was just as easy to immediately remove them.

You know, if the PWE told us to get 12k friends , but suddenly chose to reward players with 1.5x exp anyways if we reached half that mark, they probably would've gotten the 6k and would've appeared much friendlier to the public.

My 3 cents.

You guys read all please

Not only respond hard

I agree we can not demand anything but the part is becoze of the effort they do give us something back

Meaning we have to pay money for something

Thats the whole points most of the people who like to suckup to think they gain something out of it dont see
Yes indeed no myspace event was won

But THEY come with the effort price

And thats money in their pockets.. please be realistic then say something.
Also do remember the amount is lower then 10 dollars for the exp scroll and the money rate is 20 dollars and up to gain minimum wich we also should be able to choose lower seeing its our money so basicly u HAVE to use 20 dollars on such a small item on a game..

They could very well have said "You failed to get us 6000 friends, too bad better luck next time".

Do you realise they'll loose money by reducing XP charms by 20%? Those who are buying them would have continued to buy them even at the regular price anyway. Those who don't buy them won't buy them even at the reduced price anyway.

Aye, they do lose money. But by putting in 1.5exp, they gain money because people will buy more exp scrolls to take advantage of this. The 20% sale is both stupid and profitless. See?

Then it only show that they don't always only think about money, unlike some people said before ^_^

Arguing with you is like talking to a wall. b:chuckle It's an analogy. The last winner is the one who doesn't receive a reward because they didn't meet the goal. The goal was 6k. There was no negotiation or hinting of any possible reward for not making that cut.

There is no such thing as a "demand" from a player to a F2P game. Their ToS exists for a reason, and much of it exists to counter any such thing as that. They could ban you right now with no reason whatsoever, even if you spent hundreds of dollars on zen. Why? Because in the ToS that you agreed to, it says they can.

PWI's publicity thanks to myspace? Oy. Do you realize how many of those people have multiple accounts? I can start tallying people I know on LC who made multiple accounts for that event, just because they wanted the exp. It drew in about as many new people that stayed as the black raptor event at best.

I actually have to say I agree with Ark, except that most people would think 12k is so unattainable and as such, some might not even bother. Maybe 8k-10k. PWI needs someone new to come up with events.. the current ones are shameless plugs, coin sinks, and deflation efforts. Where's the fun? Oh well.

Sorry /haiku/, there is nothing in the ToS about treating your customers like ****, yes they can do whatever they want, but pissing off customers and using the ToS as a shield doesn't make you money. They won't be referring to the ToS because it's their God given right to have a 1.5x bonus to XP, They participated in a event in hopes for a reward, but instead got sent packing to the cash shop. They won't be referring to the ToS at all, because they QUIT.

And I sorry 5 people didn't go out and make 5,000 myspace accounts because they REALLY wanted the xp bonus. Sure some might of made 1-2 but a majority of players aren't looking for ways to "Cheat the System"

I like this game because it's F2P, but it's also something I would never buy in the Store, because frankly, it's an outdated ported game from asia that are a dime a dozen, The only way they could get people to play is BY making it free. The people who like it will spend money, but the 90% will move on.

They do not loose money by reducing the price by 20%.

More people buy exp scrolls because of the 20% sale, and therefore they obtain more $.
That is just the whole strategy.

I was wondering how department stores stayed in business by having all those SALES!!

Least we have a few smart ones around here b:laugh

In a way I'm glad. XP bonus actually makes the game very painful at lower levels and even somewhat at higher. Sure you get the level faster but you do not get the rep from quest or any extra mob drops. You end up having to grind quests that you have outleveled getting few if any drops because everything is now green. The lower drop rate on dragon quest stuff reduces you ability to do those quests which also give xp. You end up trading one for of xp for the other.

Once you get up in level say above 50 where you have to grind for level the xp bonus is very nice. The key is being able to use the xp bonus when you want not that it is turned on all the time. So although I would have liked free xp scroll rather than a static server bonus the discount is finewith me, Not like those are expensive anyway compared to the charm you will burn during the hour you grind

So ? the goal was never reached
They never said "We'll consider giving you a reward based on your efforts, or how close you got".



What reward ? I see a reward for 6000 people but I dont see "If you reach 5300 we'll give you..." anywhere.

I'd love extra exp, these are not valid reasons to ask for it tho.

QFT and posted that before I could.

The goal was 6000 Friends. The goal was not met. End of story.

I didnt vote, cus we got nothing to demand. they are fully in their right.

Having said that, none of MY friends pull this and afterwards still is my friend. There is a differance between being in ones right and doing the right thing.

I removed them from my MySpace friends. I think that would be the best way to make them feel how ppl feel.
