Community starting to break?

edited August 2010 in General Discussion
Over the past few weeks I've noticed a lot of changing going on. A lot of the members of the community have been raging where there never was raging before. Siggys, videos, pictures, gifs of all sort are starting to show up insulting PWE. Is it the community's fault? I say no, it's simply because they're not being heard. With the TW changes we knew and you knew this wouldn't work, but not one GM would admit it. I understand your not in charge of the game, and i also understand you have to do what the devs say. What i'm asking is that you simply say "Look at what you've done". This kind of "devs know best" behavior is killing a once great community. The whole reason i decided to play this game is because i loved the forum community. This was a year ago, now look at it. If i saw what i see now a year ago i would have never bothered. The community's starting to break, and it won't be long until the devs cause the game to break. What's next, are we gonna see half exp from quest? I mean then people would HAVE to buy hypers, easy money making. Are they going to double the amount of hypers needed for FC? Sounds like one of those things they'd do. All we want to know is if the GMs are on our side with this. The devs can't see the game breaking but you can.

Yeah i know this will be locked, but they have to read it before they lock it.

    Whatever happens, do not have regrets. (says the one that does not look/care anymore at what could ever happens, even if some parts could get painful)
    Maintenance time. Please choose a line:
    - When is it over? OMG I need my fix!! *super spazzing*
    - Fix the damn bugs, dammit! I'm so angry! I'll quit!!
    - New codes out there? I like free stuff~ *wink*
    - When will we get new content? QQ
    - Will we get sales? I got a ton of gold to spend.
    - I'm bored, I'll create a useless thread to annoy Opkorock.
    - *Incessant poking on Sweetiebot* Fun~

    It feels like the community is breaking apart. At this current trend, these forums can rage into chaos, something even the mods and GMs can't manage.


    I see a forum shutdown if this ever happens....

    It's PWI that can't handle it, the players know the truth already. PWI is dying and packs are a sad attempt at money. PWI has been dying since they first came out, they don't seem to realize packs do nothing but hurt the game. And now they've removed TW, may as well have tossed the game into a fire.

    Anything that even hints at a challange or negativeness towards PWI or the company gets deleted/moved/locked because they can't handle criticism. Idiots -.-

    well nothing more can be expected then forum rages more then often, PWI is slaping us in the face with EVERY patch they have released, each patch/expansion has slowly killed the game.

    lets see, the release of tideborn,hypers,FC,BH,Oracles,Packs,killing TW money.

    there the main ones, PWE dont care for there players, aslong as the gamblers are playing and dumping thousands of pounds into this stupid game, thats all they care for.

    The forums got used to one Community Manager that was visible and even though could not do much, at least acknowledged and had some empathy to those attempting to express their frustration.

    As of right now the breakdown is more in, what seems to be, a lack of interaction...this is from both the GM's and the Mod's.

    Sad really...those of us who have been around has seen this happen before...    b:surrender

    Well, why should PWE care? We here on the forums are the vocal minority. The people still in-game spending money and charging Zen are all they care about, and it's been that way for well over a year (it only became more apparent with the release of anniversary packs).

    Unfortunately, the only way they'll actually sit up and take notice is when people stop charging zen, and unless you know a way to convince whole servers to go with that, I somehow don't see it happening.
    Wrap me in a bolt of lighting,
    Send me on my way still smiling;
    Maybe that's the way I should go,
    Right into the mouth of the unknown...

    Well they took a step in that direction with the TW changes. 3/4 of my FL on arch server quit, now I'm practically alone, it sucks. All my old friends are gone.

    The Devs introduced the Nien Event, the Celestial Tiger Event, and the Forest Ruins event, all of which award great prizes, and have received a lot of good reviews right here on the forums.

    Gold prices have rose over 50k on arch server alone. It's obvious just from that its not working.

    The nien event was awesome, i'll admit that. It still doesn't change the fact that people hate these packs, and its tearing the game apart. I'm not being rude, I'm just being honest.

    way to state the obvious, they have good reviews because it doesnt involve cash shop to do it, shamefully the rest of your game just about does and you cant deny that, but taking away TW pay and adding in corals permenant...you taking the ****?

    The OP made it sound like the devs are trying to ruin the game. I'm trying to make the point that they have actually added some really good features.

    Um yeah awesome events that are impossible to do unless you are max level with max gear, THANKS! (same goes with DT and CoA you CAN NOT do them at the levels you should be able to, becuz they do not scale to level ranges.) so once again frankie... FAIL

    That wasn't my point. I was stating the decisions the devs are making are ruining the game. I didn't say they were trying to, but either way they are.

    Sorta like needing 7 days to check if not having 1-star Dragon Orb Packs and Year of the Tiger Packs on sale work or not? No wait a sec, that was a 2 day difference, not 7.

    Quoted for truth. The Devs have added some good features.
    They have also removed some bad ones (a reminder, once again, that packs were banned from PW-CN).

    PWE, on the other hand...

    This isn't a troll post, or at least it's not meant to be. But Frankie, honestly - take a good unbiased look at what's going on and tell us that it's not PWE's marketing decisions causing the issues here. The Neinbeast event was cool. The celestial tigers are cool. The jungle ruins are VERY cool!
    Being told TW pay is being nerfed to combat inflation and bring "gold prices down to earth," then cramming packs down our collective throat... not so cool.

    what Aelric said was somewhat true aswell, the best feature is definatly Forest Ruins, and it always was even before the devs closed it down and re-did it all, problem is, it looks to me like PWE and the Devs at once are just walking all over us, you say they have added some good features, ill name the ones i no, Forest Ruins, Celes Tiger event, item link in the chat window...thats all i can think of, then theres the second kicker, the celes tiger event and forest ruins both run in the week day and in the middle of the night for europeons, why cant they run twice a day with a 1 entry per day limit like the horse race?

    thanks for taking care of the community.
