    It is, however, problematic that a major source of income for people trying to achieve TT90/TT99 before level 100 has been made much more difficult for them. Requiring a squad to complete a TT 3-x splits the income made per instance by as much as six. Increasing the boss difficulty discourages them from doing the run in the first place and raises prices to buy the mat in coin.

    I know people spamming Nirvanas to fund their TT90/99. That's not how it should be, but with the prices of GBA/Gold Mats these days, it's the way it has become. Not enough people in the game are like Fay and you, Dan. I lucked out and had some helpful friends, but others are on their own.

    As for the Zen protest, good luck, but I don't think a few people's contributions would do much. At worst, they lay off a few people at the International office and keep on keeping on.b:bye

    So far I haven't seen people skip their TT99 gear that much, other than the poorest ones. Although I'm pretty sure more and more people won't get their TT99 and just use TT90/OHT.

    It sucks, but you just have to adapt to the situation that you may not be able to get the best gear available.

    Sorry, but this won't work. For two reasons:
    1. Topic on wrong section... not that many people reads their server disscussions. There are more on General Discussions thread. So you probably won't get too many people here. Getting even 1% sign up won't matter that much, especially as it seems that many who signed had stopped to charge on their own or have never charged before.
    2. Was you around when they introduced the first packs - Anniversary packs? There was HUGE discussion and complain topic. Reached over 300pages. Many people left. Event ended and quite soon packs were back by "popular demand". Another HUGE disscussion topic around 300pages long, more people left. Result? Packs are almost permanent addition to the game.

    Their main clients are players who pays a lot or/and on regular basis, rest are potential clients. To keep them interested they need to provide them with new content, new changes. That's why they fix only the major bugs.

    p.s. I haven't charged even once, nor I am planing to charge. So for myself it is useless to sign up.

    Damewort nailed it right on the.. money? Besides, PWE has all those other games to fund them. 1% population in one game; they won't care.

    Lots of people quit long before anniversary packs because of the Valentine's Day glitch that involved the Duke Rose set (it's first release), the mailbox, and the cash shop. It took them over a year to fix this bug and release the duke rose set once again. It was almost saddening to see how many players were e-mailed saying they spent $325k in gold and were told pay up or your account stays banned. This happened with a friend and he forwarded the email to me and that really was the amount they told him to send. Some were banned from not using the glitch themselves, but "came into contact with a person(s) exploiting the glitch."

    Honestly, if they did their jobs in the first place, glitches like the above wouldn't have even happened to begin with.

    Signing this petition to stop charging money will be as effective as Monster Hunter fans outside Japan signing/ complaining that the MMO version will never be released (too costly; therefore it all falls on deaf ears). It's worth the try, but it will get you nowhere.

    Put me down, nonetheless.

    Sure, Go Ahead And Sign Me Up As Well. I Find This Highly Interesting And If These Changes Were Made Then It Would Be Profitable For Both The Players And PWE In General In The End. The First Reason Being That Fixing All The Major Issues Would More Then Likely Bring Back Alot Of The Old Players That Left The Game Because Of These Reasons. Another Being That They Will Gain More New Players Due To Word Of Mouth About How This Game Would Be Good Once More. Finally The Existing Players That Would Leave Because Of This Wouldnt. All Of This Would Entail That PWE Would Make More Money In The End For Taking The Time To Fix These Problems, Then They Would If They Just Ignored Them And Went Along There Current Course Of Action. So It Would Be In There Best Interest To Go The Extra Mile And Make More People Happy

    Better Game + More Players = More People Spending Spare Pocket Change On Something Worth Spending On.

    I Hope This Works So That This Game Begin To Resemble The One I loved Playing All Those Years Ago, And Maybe Ill Just Be Able To See Some Of The Old Friends I Would Squad With Come Back To Play Again.

    I agree with this totally. They don't just need to fix the game but also add in stuff that players want added in. It seems like all they do is add more fashion and more packs. Since the beginning a lot of players have been asking for a guild only area so its sad that 2 yrs later they finally get the hint.
