    Genesis wasn't that bad in my opinion, but indeed not enough to redeem what happened before it...

    Also, let me make a prediction:

    2012:
    Private servers catch up with PWI content.

    A prediction?
    More like a reality...

    Edit:

    I didn't see people already commented on this.
    I'll just add in whoever is doing this is getting better and faster at it.
    Don't ask me who it is, I don't know. It's most likely someone in China.

    Assassins ruined this game for me. Player skill was lost after this moment.

    I'd say it was more 2010 if it was the assassin class that started the downhill curve for someone. After all, we did originally consider them a skill based support/control DD class when they first arrived in '09.

    ... Then people realized about how broken their survival skills were for PvP and learned the joys of permaspark and it all went downhill from there combined with Hyper FCC allowing them to jump to higher levels before even learning what their skills did.

    2010 for sure with the hyper/rank business. Ever since that sale, the only thing anyone seems to do anymore is Frost. And now ppl don't even do that. Its just ppl buying and selling Frost now xD b:chuckle

    2010 for me personally, that was when the playerbase started getting really grouchy. And people stopped being as easy to get talking in random squads.

    This usually just happens when their gear gets better, for some reason good gear makes some people into snobby pricks lol

    Do NOT forget that
    1. Lots of people got cheap rank 9 due to the medals in dq points that they screwed us later players on.

    2. Those same players that got cheap rank 9 also got super cheap refines and provided they had gold in the bank an money on the credit card- 1 day sale of 3 11*orbs for 100 gold an two 12* orbs for 80 golds.....

    3. Should I even mention that those players were also around back when dots were 1.5 mill, vit stones 15 mil, josd 20 mill, garnets 10 mill, etc....


    Yeah, I am really gonna break out my credit card or play time to compete with all that....not---

    This is what's holding me back from getting rank 9 currently, I have a good feeling that it will see a major discount sale, mainly in MoGs and GSTs, if they want to promote the next recast of R9 gears. Tag that with either a 2x Drops event or, dare I say it, an indirect way of buying Nirv mats from the boutique, whether in easier gamble packs, or directly, perfect plan to keep players occupied.

    However, the effect gold may get from such a sale...

    *looks for a place that says hypers, invalidation of old gears especially rank gears, and imbalance of classes*
    2010 hands down. everything after that ie the goon glitch ruined the game too but without the things from 2010, goons would have been impossible to do.
    the loser fail nab cleric from dreamweaver who quit pwi, but still wanders the forums.

    2010 was worst... That's when the game got messed up the most... The other years where ok i guess... And the things that did get messed up in 2011 where just a continuation of what already happened in 2010...

    2009 killed all challenge in this game, and that is from the age of spirits expansion and BH. Legendary equips used to be cool back in 2008 to early 2009, now the rare legendary equipment are just .... not valuable anymore.

    When Genies and BHs were implemented and FCs turning into exp rooms, this game turned from a somewhat challenging game into an easy one. Now levels and genies matter or get lost is the mentality. How many people have been using genies now? 95% of these people that play this game... Take away the genies, these people die without them (most likely the game will die because people will refuse to bother this game if it was really a challenge). You know why? They are attached to easy mode things since that time. Right before the Hyper leveling and FCs... We had too much reliance on things that aren't even necessary. proof from this guy. Yet, People can still QQ about sins when they are easy one shots when it comes to genie A very big jerk that only relied on genies to kill anything. The sad part is, ALMOST EVERYONE relied on genies and charms. Players rot long ago.

    2009 hit the hardest.
    WTB PWI 2008 where people were thinking more about doing good rather than pretending to be.

    Its close between 2009 and 2010 but i'm going to go for 2009.

    The tideborn expansion and packs subsequently changed the game completely. OP in pvp and best class for farming with- i think alot of the market problems and gold price increase can be attributed them.

    Dont like genie's either- they just seem like an easy way out for developers to avoid the task of class skill rebalancing. The've also widened the gap in pvp as most of the OP players will also probably have a 9x genie too. The other problem is that everyone now relies on them so much these days. Hardly anyone remembers how we'd run full GV with no genies in 5k HP -HH90 gear. b:chuckle

    Exactly what I was thinking before I saw this post so I will just +1. What can I say, I liked the game just as it was when it first came out. Certainly it could have used some refinement, but meh, each change seems to have come with more cons than pros for me.
