Henceforth the packs shall be named AnniAnniversay packs b:laugh

Or AnyAnniversary packs? hehehe

DejaVu packs?

Pandaberr - Lost City · October 2009

Why'd the poll get shut down?

I think its pretty obvious that these packs aren't "Back By Popular Demand!".

So how do you justify bringing them back?

Will a GM please explain how you came up with this statement?

WHAT THE ****.
I despised those packs last month and I hate them even more now. I highly doubt that the players are even being listened to. Some people can't AFFORD zen. I can't afford it anymore and I have no intentions of purchasing it again EVER. Not after this repeated fail.

The last time this pack thing happened, people left. Hell I almost left but the begging of my friends led me to stay. Now I'm not so sure if I want to stay.

Well their stocks dipped again (much slighter this time) after they pulled that stunt.

I'm reading and reading and it looks like it happened before.
The last time people were crying on 200 pages and GM's did nothing.
They are making this thread for one thing which is prevention of forum flood with same topics. I don't think anything will be changed and packs will be where they are right now for another month.
Funny is how Kantorek was talking about Gold Market and how they are controlling it...
I'm wondering when people will realize that your opinion is worth as much as bag of dust.. And when you start talking too much they are threatening you with ban ...

Once again well done GM's, and please don't say you are not responsible for it because you are ..

Is it? You closed a poll with 573 respondents, 335 replies, and over 12k views, showing overwhelming player sentiment against the packs; redirecting traffic to a thread without a poll so it's impossible to see in a quick glance which way player sentiment falls.

I can understand you closing all the other threads, but that one deserved to stay open. You ask for feedback, what better way than a poll where it's one person, one vote? That's the democratic way, no?

Very good point.

Why can't we have a poll in this thread? If mods can edit gm's posts, surely you can edit a poll into this thread? Nearly every player here wants a poll. And judging by the 91% no vote from before, it's pretty obvious that "back by popular demand" was total and utter ****.

Atm pwi and it's employee's are giving a very very strong impression of feeding the player base lies and blotting out their opinions. Not a flame to you guys, just saying how it looks from our perspective, just a friendly piece of advice that maybe you need to address this issue.

Myself, as a player, I feel thoroughly insulted. And I am looking into other mmo options as we speak.

All I have to say is.

I declare this as the Anni Pack theme song.

But in other news, are they actually thinking of removing it? I mean... the GM edit saying that they will was kind of initiative...

Hayyel - Lost City · October 2009

Here i am, a few hours after i left for uni.... and still, not one GM says anything. Come on guys, wtf... soon there will be a full day, and you cant... i repeat CANT say now that you dont work.... Its easy and selfexplanatory. U DONT CARE. At least then u shouldnt have posted this thread with asking us to give u our opinions. You should have just named it QQ zone or something, its really clear, you dont care. b:bye Thx for betraying our trusts.

Sheswes - Heavens Tear · October 2009

Mods trolled us.

Also, I'm listening to Yakety Sax/Benny Hill theme as I read this thread. I think it's a better theme. D;

Right on the spot.

Forum flooders is not all players.

Look in game to red messages - and it's only rare prizes. What does it means? It means that players ready to pay and whant to buy. And vote of few percent players is not valid... even if it's 80+ players.

And noone can't explain well - why is so bad? Because more hard to play without donate?... hm, do u really think that developing and supporting that mmorpg is almost free?

Or because awesome stuff now available to new players, but not for u?
Balance?... 99,(9)% of u can't understand - that is balance in mmorpg.
Economic ruined?... how many of u ended economic lessons in high school?

For lot's of players dasn't matter - is ann pack on or not - they just play. And if some top's leave game - it's only clean space for new players on server.

Until they run some correlations and found people that complain in the forums were indeed buying the packs themselves and buying gold. Also, they noticed how many packs were being sold and how fast, therefore they realised that people just like to complain, even though their sale numbers are showing lots of people buying.

We can say whatever we want, but last month sale was the most popular sale in PW history. We made it that way.

um this is coming from a alt that wants to keep his identity secret >_>

DOH! Brush up on your English before you ask us about our curriculum in high school. **** for tat I say.

Do not assume that the ones posting in this thread are all non Zen chargers. Makes you look silly.

I want to play a game that has entertainment value. A game I can have fun with my friends. A game that I can put some effort in and accomplish something. Not a game where I can Zen my way to the top.

If I had wanted that I would have stayed in the last game I played where my character had 3 pieces of +12 gears and the rest were +8 and one hitting 95% of the server. If you doubt me on this one, pm me and I'll tell you where to login. I'll login and show you what a real one hitter is.

you Poison.

I logged on for two seconds and immediately the red spam is back. It's like part of me was trying to say that it wasn't true or something and seeing the red spam makes it that much more real.

At this current moment, I seriously want to take a giant trout and smack everyone on the developer's team and the GM team. BADLY.

Somehow it doesn't seem like good business sense to regularly wipe out the biggest spenders and highest levels, then have them replaced by lower levels that didn't understand the reason for them leaving, only to have them leave when PW does something else similar.

Isn't it a better idea to keep the playerbase? Do the old high levels need to leave for the new high levels to spend money?

Well , the packs where nice if they where 1 week thing, the full month was way way overdue, it inserted tons of coins to the market and left a major mark on the game.
and now, after passed that , u bring them back for 2more weeks, not cool.

Eviltwist - Lost City · October 2009

Looking at this thread again and I think PWI got a bit communist ..

Pandaberr - Lost City · October 2009

I always thought, that the role of the GM was to make sure that the game was played by the rules, not lie to their player base.

And I always thought, that the point of a game, was to play it, to get the good gear. Not bypass hours of playtime by buying that good gear.

GM's have effectively lied to us twice.

And shamelessly at that.
