    Again pwi is enforcing more the advertising junk into our lives. It is no problem for me tho.
    They can make the site all flashy and make pop ups PLAY bla bla.. but a gamer knows what he wants to play and still majority of gamers it is about mouth to mouth advertisement and not about flashy annoying advertisement lauchers as ARC is.

    Thus said, if the ****** arc site putted the facebook connect and dq rewards on there website i had no trouble at all to log on arc. But for now im blocking it.. and as long i can block advertisement junk .. i will block it.

    If people can't play without a free blessing then they shouldn't be playing at all. It seems really lame that removing a blessing is making people want to rage quit rather than actually learn to play more efficiently. I mean, we have the meridian system, we have title quests, we have war avatar cards, we have the new primal attack and defense passive skills, etc. that add all kinds of stat bonuses to our toons yet some still want to rage quit over an antiquated blessing?

    Come on...deal with it.

    The problem is about equality. I don't need a blessing to play, but I know a lot of people have a lot of blessings on their mail. It wouldn't be fair if some people had them, and others not.

    If during next maintenance wanmei deleted the item id's of these blessings, then I wouldn't mind because then no one would have blessings anymore.

    This.

    I'm one of said people who have blessings stacked to last me well over a year because the facebook page was unreliable in the past anyways.

    As long as I have those blessings, anyone without one is now at an immediate disadvantage against me in PvP and PvE... and not only am I not the only one with this sort of advantage, but I'm also one of the more casual with it. Plenty of people have enough blessings to last longer than PWI has been out.

    Oh and if that glitch that allowed blessings to be sold is still around... well... I don't think I need to go into detail about what would happen. People here should know by now how our community is.

    Well it was a nice way 2 make some money on pwi`s expense when the stupid page glitches, but as this **** company makes nothing off it, of course they fix it asap, I already unliked them on FB, got my 50 blessings should last a while, later if they expect me to instal some garbage just to run this stupid game, they got another thing coming!

    Not removed, it`s just more annoying to get than before where you had to clear cookies n ****.

    I know yeah, but I was aiming at this post (clickable). It sounds like they are planning to remove blessings entirely along with the DQ system, but they don't have an alternative in mind for the blessing function from the sound of it (it may or may not come back, hence it will be gone at some point), I wonder what the reason is for that.

    Here's something odd. I was able to get Jones Blessing today, after using PCH Search and Win. So, maybe there are other back doors that don't get the redirect. b:chuckleb:pleased

    Last I checked, you could still trade Jones blessing via that glitch, but it does not work with the O'Malleys. Will have to try later.

    What better than removing free blessings? Replace them with boutique blessings, would not be surprised if they aim for this.

    Eventually they would be history. As for fairness in this game that all went out the window with the very 1st anniversary pack sale followed by the rank sales as well as several severe glitch exploits. I gave up on equality and fairness years ago.

    It'd be nice if I could have a moment to use up the DQ points I had. I know they said it was leaving in December, but I was still getting points. If this is the day it's finally done, give me an accurate warning so I can use the points I had.

    Any chance they could drop the redirect for a week so we can do that? I mean really. It would go a long to way to making me more willing to endure the time as we crossover.

    No matter how against it we are.

    Also just a side note until I get more information, Arc is not mandatory. This is just the website migration, nothing else for the time being.

    Just as a side note I went to check a link in one of my previous posts to the page where your company stated in their own words, that ARC will be compulsory in the future, https://support.perfectworld.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4274#ARC13 and noted that they have removed it.
    Why?
    Has there been a change in policy? or is this just another way to keep everyone confused until its suddenly implemented, and everyone can claim ignorance about the change as usual.
    Sry to post here in this thread but this is where I found your post.

    What I was referring to is that since the Arc website migration has launched, players have been thinking this means Arc is NOW mandatory. What I'm saying is that, at this time, it is NOT. Will it be in the future? As per that linked post, more than likely (even though we're discussing options). Is it mandatory now? Nope. Hopefully that clears up any confusion. b:pleased

    I don't know if I'm putting myself out there, but here goes: I caught this comment on world chat, so I went to check out PWI website for myself and sure enough, soon as I went to homepage it started redirecting me b:sad But good news is the comment someone made about blocking global_redirect(this is at least one way past Arc webpage) b:thanks but anyways you can use a free adblocker from the Chrome store, install it, well just add to your extensions, I think and you'll get an Icon on your bar, right click and go under settings then filters(I actually went under customize instead of filters) insert the url(global_redirect) and save. So the secrets out, hehe b:chuckle so if anyone that's posted here and checks back, hope you can try this and it works for you(I had no problem getting to the regular PWI page after and even got my O'Malley's blessing real quick). Good luck to you all. b:victory

    Yes, BTW, if you saw my little solution and it works for you, I think you'll still see your DQ points there , once you find a way to block the Arc redirect(I saw i still had mine, for now at least). b:pleased
