Anniversary Pack Discussion

I dunno, I guess I agree with andracil. Not much else she can do. Either she leaves it and everything goes crazy and we all riot, or just lock everything off topic and maintain at least some calm.

Either way, the devs have destroyed the game and there's little the mods/gm's can do. I'm sure they're probably just as irritated as the rest of us, but since it's their job they can't really say much.

I think some deserve locking...but others are constructive criticism. Why lock them just because they weren't posted in this obviously ignored thread. Trigger happy mods, glad they don't have the banhammer else there be 3 people on these forums: a gm, a mod, and the one guy that kisses their *blanks* *i filtered it myself*b:angry

Oh for god's sake.
Be glad I'm keeping my cool. Would you like it if I started insulting people for making these threads?

I don't know, I think from what I've read in these forums some poeple don't even want you as a mod anymore; not sure if insulting PWI's customers would get that wish granted or not.

Close threads with some dignity at least.

Err, it appears I phrased it poorly. What I meant was that if I merged these threads, people would complain they're unable to find their threads and think I've deleted them. It's not so much the flame I get as it is the people who are upset by their threads disappearing. Leaves a pretty poor impression, better if I just leave them where they are so they can at least see I locked them.

Erhm so we had the anni packs, and people left. We got them again more people left. Once again they are back . . . hmm wonder what will happen next.

I got to say the moderators and game marshalls actually have my sympathy. Whoever is in charge of marketing at PWE seems to enjoy suicidal marketing strategy which will probably make your lives hell.

To all other players. If you don't like these packs simple answer

DO NOT BUY THEM!

3+ pages of threads complaining about the same thing, with new ones popping up every couple minutes, doesn't exactly look good either. I haven't seen any of the GMs post yet, so I think andracil's pretty much trying to hold off an all-out riot here, all on her own. I don't envy her or her job. b:chuckle

I'm starting to get what she's saying, but-- isn't the "3+ pages" thing happening with or without locking?

Either way-- and this is the last post I'm gonna post on this-- there should be a better way to deal with this. Make a sticky, or something. "All Anni Pack Threads are gonna be merged into the main one: Your Opinions Matter." And merge them. But yeah, I'm not a mod, I don't know much about it, and really shouldn't be telling how to do your job.

Sorry for arguing with you all. And yes, I know she's getting hell for this, even though it isn't her fault. Sorry again. b:surrender

lol heheh u know whats the fun part this all could have been provented b:victory just had to make the gameplay work make good wars so u attracked gamers not only flirters not saying every1 is ... but its a game so the gamers are ur catergorie to focus on ... and gamewise we can hardly play the system is explodable half community plays freely and completly freely while the others pay pay pay and neverrrrrrr get nothing in return ... how do u think u gonna keep those gamers??? with these events??? nahh make ur game work =.=

I very much doubt making a sticky for that would help, seeing as people should be able to realize there's a thread up here already named "Anniversary Pack Discussion". I can't really get more obvious than that.
And yes, I'm getting hell for this, but I'm used to it really. Wouldn't be a mod if I couldn't handle the stress.

Not many people want to read through and contribute on a thread thats already over 130+ pages long. New threads should be allowed to run as long as they stay within forum rules. b:bye

Yea, but 3 pages worth? People dont want to have to sift 4+ pages back just to find a subject to talk about, either. b:chuckle When the servers came back up, and everybody flipped, it got crazy here on the forums. Something had to be done to stop the flood. Yes, the locks tick people off, but it kept it from becoming 10+ pages of the same thing.

Omg! The packs are back from the deadddd! -scary spokey noise-

Haha, but yeah. Kinda interesting really. They bring out the packs for the anniversary which I liked, I bought a few, got a few good things, and went on my marry way. Then they come back out for another month because people wanted them back. Sure, fine, whatever. I bought a few again to stock up on the tokens for teles (WC hoe O__O) and what-not. And then last night when they supposedly went down for "maintenance" they seemed to have just popped into the cash shop outta nowhere. I'm telling you, those things are like the living dead. But whatever. Just gives me more tokens to stock up on. Thanks GM's! I, unlike most people, seem to like them. b:surrender

We mods don't rule the game or anything, we don't decide what updates make it through. We only take care of the forums and have no power outside that.

Perhaps people see anni packs back in the boutique for whatever reason for the 3rd time, despite all that's been mentioned in this 130ish page thread dedicated to feedback on the issue, and figure it's futile to continue posting here as it appears the feedback here is ignored anyway, and so create new threads instead.

I tend to agree with Arravis a few posts back. There were a couple of threads I thought would have ended up having some interesting discussion and in which I may have liked to post in but now can't as they were swiftly locked.

I don't believe that if I were to make comments on packs in this thread that they would go anywhere - this just seems like a place to stash negative feedback so new players see a pretty forum with happy bunnies and rainbows. (This is my personal opinion and not an attack on anyone. Just don't have as much in confidence in PWI as I used to.)

On-topic:
I did like the anni packs when they first came out. I was able to get a bunch of cheap tokens for skill books and other things which would otherwise have taken a bit longer to save coin for.

If it wasn't intended to have the packs removed after the daylight savings maintenance, we should have been told that in a sticky on here somewhere to save this massive rage we're again seeing. If the packs were purposely taken out and then purposely put back, then this entire thread may as well be deleted because it serves no purpose to collect feedback then act in a way that equates to throwing the feedback in a bin and setting in on fire. Either way, I do hope they're taken out soon - even though keeping them would mean cheaper items for myself - as the damage that's been done already may be very difficult to repair but things can always get *worse*. That is, more players leaving; less players recommending the game to their friends; a higher rate of new players quitting due to not being able to afford boutique items without charging; and finally, people charging less zen than they used to (of which I am one) as they can no longer see that the company acts on what is both good for them *and* their customers.

I would really love to see people stay rather than quit.
