Dear GMs,

there are some things that you could change in your way of communicating that would greatly reduce the ripped off feeling many players do have.

When you announce =

3) Sincerity
Talk to the Frost Lord with the two items “Sincerity” and “Faithfulness”
Reward: Chest of Faith This Chest contains: Scarlet Fruit, Mirage Celestone, Auspicious Ring: Order, Unicorn Spirit Ring: Order (P.S. The last two are yellow gears)

You know thats not true.. is it difficult to write =

You may be rewarded with, or you may obtain that ..

that doesnt change many things.. except the feeling the player has at the end of the dungeon.

there =
source http://pwi.perfectworld.com/news/newsubpage/genie-skill-update-6471
Due to these changes and the following list of Genie Skill changes, the Watcher of the Earth will offer 1 free Stone of Refreshment, and 80 Origination Orders to re-spec your Genie. Please note that this quest is only available once per character.

thats not entirely true

the reward is level dependant..

would you have written "depending of your level you will get some origination orders .. 20 to 80"

would have been more accurate.. and the player base wouldnt come here complaining.

those are small changes in communication that may greatly improve the player feelings.
I look at all the trollers, and Pvpers.. and know they wouldnt have lasted 30sec on Camelot.

    Considering that this last patch is the only issue I've ever had with the game I'm quite upset. I usually try to say good things about it on the forums at escapistmagazine, but my praise just gets less and less justified.

    I've already resolved to not spend any more than the $60 I've already used since I joined. Our money should fund new content, not breaking the things we already enjoy.

    All we have telling us that the GMs listen is...well, the GMs saying they listen. It would be a good idea on their side to maybe announce what they have gathered from the playerbase that week over the previous patch, and what's going to be done about it (even if it's just "talk to the devs").

    Yeah, I was pretty loyal before the reworking of the genies and their desire to turn rare mounts into cash shop goodies, as well as make end game gear purchasable with $1 is about the last straws for me.

    There is really nothing left to be proud of, to work for, or to have as your own. Hard work, luck and perseverance mean little when the game is just turning into "buy every goal you could have had" game.

    Frostcovered bosses *do* drop mats, but they take 1000 of each to craft anything in the forges. Pretty much need a faction to work on one weapon for one person. Kinda defeats the purpose when you can spend $1 and get frost/lunar gear.

    I do have to admit it is kinda Hard to get anything unless you spend money on the game. Well hard wouldn't be the correct word. Rediculiously hard. I know that the gear shouldn't be easy but it shouldn't take 2 months of grinding to get it either. Unless you can run TT squad solo Without having to buy 40 Charms I believe incressing the drop rate would be better. Some of the items are so hard to get ppl are wanting 55mill if not more for some items. 55mill lol unless you're in the faction that controls most of the land you're ginding for about a year or buying gold selling it ingame to get it. The Simple fact that Money has to be spend on everything is kinda redundent.

    have to Spend it on POTS/Skillz/Teleporting if it would take you 30 mins to get somewhere/Armor/Crafting material that is only a 2% for someone 50 lvls over the mobs which lowers the rate. Its far to hard to even level do to that lack of quest. Unless you can sit on you're butt all day and grind the 90+ You will spend a year if not more to get 100. When i went threw the 60's haha 3 quest a piece at 20-30k if that was just plain dumb. Took me 2 months to get off my 60's.

    But there are alot of thing that are more important that changing stuff people are already happy with. How about more quest or better Drop rates. PW seem to only want to attack the hardcore no life gamers who live in there moms basement and do nothing but play on there computer. The majority of players on here are not hardcore facebreakers but casual players. To keep a large player count you have to adjust for the majority not the minority.

    Only reason i am rammbling about this is because i own my own server for a Game i built and i had to learn this lession the hard way by losing 60% of my players which was out of about 50,000. Its free to play but i played it for 7 years kinda wanna move here as my perm playing grounds. But this is all just a suggestion.

    In my opinion....

    1) Not sure about it. I completed Frost right after it came out in the new format. Myself and several others got 100 Perfect Stones while others got 2 Chest of Coins. So this I am not entirely sure about.

    2) Had you read it in its entirety, they added the "level" dependent #'s not long after the update went live.

    All you have to do is make a post or try and PM one to inform them or ask about it, rather then calling people lier's.

    You could be called a lier since you are making at least one false accusation when the information is right there bolded in red and also in the maintenance/patch notes posts on the forums. b:surrender

    thats the problem

    it was done something like 8 hrs after the initial anouncement.;

    dont you think it would have been simplier to do it from the start ?

    PWi are pros, and not some fan sites run with strings by 12 YO.

    errors in communication you can accept from fans.; cant be accepted from Business entreprises.
