What don't you like about PWI?

The difference is those acronyms are obvious enough that you won't generally need an explanation, acronyms like TT and FB are not obvious, nor are terms like tabber, it took me an hour of hunting around to figure out that tabber means the person with the tablet. They should just say leader.

No no. You missed my point completely.
There are many acronyms used in industries that aren't obvious.
I picked an obvious one to prove the point of how silly NOT using acronyms is.
Another one would be FMEA instead of Failure mode and effects analysis. In many engineering professions, people would think you're a noob if you didn't know what FMEA was.

My point is that people use acronyms all the time because it makes things more efficient.
AND they use it as a barrier for noobs. So if you go through life getting mad at people for using acronyms or judging people for not knowing them, you're going to have a tough life. You need to learn them and ask people what they mean to fit in at whatever thing it is that you're doing. I'm just saying.

the amount of grinding u will need to do is what i dislike the most. there is no real major team event for experience gain that u can run constant, rebirth is nice and all but its the type for specific people who knows what they are doing.

i know an mmo that have team quests every few hr. when its time players just need to push a button to sign up, there are limited slots for each, but there are multiple ones happening simultaneously. then once its full everyone who is in get teleported into the instance. usually its a group of 15 people, max squad size there is 5 so 3 squad of 5. usually its basically just go through the map and kill the boss, but there are usually tricks involved. theres ones that require u to clear all mobs for some door opens 2 the next area. theres survival type maps(every quest is time restricted). at the completion of the entire thing everyone thats in the instance gets a set exp reward and a little box containing some random item or equipment. every quest is lvl restricted so higher lvl cant go breeze through lower lvl quest for free exp.

personally i think that setup is 1 of the best i seen, it gives everyone a chance to do something else to gain exp except grinding. it provides events where people have to work together to finish. since the events are server wide signup, its random people u have to work with so well meet some new peeps and its not limited like FBs where u need someone with tab to get decent exp and well... u get only 1 set of tab per toon.

in this game i see alot of solo grinding, and just running FB/rebirth with the same peeps. beginners or people outside of a decent faction are basically cut out of the rebirth since they dont have the connections. TT runs likewise need a group of people, and well its hard to get a tt run if u dont know people already. FB runs, well... u get limited amount and its mostly kepted in faction or u need a group of friends and spam worldchat. so it ends up, get a large group of friends or join a good faction but even then, its just grind grind grind at 86+

Pretty much everything to do with development of the game: bugs everywhere, slow fixes if they come at all, incomplete patch notes, no direct communication with the dev team, no prior warning on changes other than content packs.

The crappy AH.

Not a good comparison. He/she complains mostly about things in which PW excels.

This forces me to question if you have every played any other game. Most other games as commercially successful as PWI put bugfixes before new content, put out complete changelogs

As far as I'm concerned efficiency is just an excuse for laziness

New to the game but there are a few things i dont like:

1. My main gripe is that several classes are female-only or male-only, why not have a male venomancer for example.
2. Overcrowded, need more servers
3. Itemization seems to be lacking, and crafting is unimpressive too.

I disagree with #2... I wanna set up a cat store anywhere.. anytime.. I want to be THE catstore.. out in the middle of nowhere.. on top of a tree.. selling potions right smack near a high level mob site... Muhaha

I do agree that pigments need either an overhaul, some serious tweaking, or a bit easier implementation.

Hey! Magic carpets! Great Idea!
