Let's discuss things PWE isn't!

There a few times when PWE staff actually respond to blatant issues. Even after recently acquiring a community manager, threads with very important information pertaining to the state of this version of the game, are unfortunately being completely ignored.

Let's discuss them.

Dragon Quest items

Originally DQ items were worth quite a bit. A few years ago, the items received a nerf in NPC prices, to combat the bots in the Chinese version of this title. Even after considerable anger from players, PWE brought this nerf to our version as well. To combat this, PWE took 7 months to implement an online shop where you could receive points for NPCing the items, and acquire various items with the points. Unfortunately, this resulted in some of the items being exploited (MoGs), by combining the tradable versions into the untradable, so that they could be traded and turned into mass amounts of coins.

The result of this was PWE taking out a few of the items, and later implementing a horse mount that previously could only be obtained via hard work (what a concept, right?). There was another item promised to us by our last community manager, Frankieraye, but nothing ever came to light.

A year and a half ago, we received another nerf from China, making DQ items under a certain level become worthless (minus the DQ points). PWE did nothing, but kept the shop open.

PWE's Core Client was re-named into Arc and they began pushing this form of DRM. They pushed it so hard that the decision was made 7 months ago, that DQ points would be taken out of the game, and we would get a new way through Arc, to receive an unknown sum of unknown items.

It's been 7 months, and Arc has been forced upon everyone. The DQ shop has lost all functionality. This has not been addressed by PWE. My concern(s) are as follows:

1.) Why was the shop removed for a mandatory beta DRM product?
2.) Why was the shop removed before a new shop was implemented?
3.) Why has this issue been ignored by PWE?
4.) What will the shop contain?
5.) When will the shop go live?

Thoughts? Insights by PWE? *doubts*

TW Map Resets

Alright, so it's been 7 months since the last TW map reset. No staff of PWE has made any comments on the website or forums upon when the TW maps will be reset. Isn't it a little odd that it didn't come with the content update like the past? I find it even more odd that PWE hasn't even responded to the open thread about any details.

According to the pertinent information given by PWE in the past, these resets happen once every 6 months. Considering the fact that it's been 7 months, my concern(s) are as follows:

1.) Why has this not been addressed?
2.) Why has the open thread not been addressed?
3.) Why has it been more than 6 months?
4.) When are we expecting to receive said map reset?
5.) Will this happen next time we receive a map reset?

New Primal World Boss

As far as I'm aware, this boss has existed in our version of the game under a different name, since the last expansion. I'm confused as to why it was announced as the main new feature and piece of content for this content update. I'm even further confused as to why it was not addressed or revoked as being "new", when players detailed information and YouTube video content of this boss in our version of the game, prior to the content update.

After the news announcement, people on the forums exclaimed that this in fact wasn't a new feature, content, or boss. Instead, PWE didn't respond to this, and went on through the news & patch notes, to state that it was a new piece of content.

I'm also concerned as to why they are touting a new world boss that spawns every 24 hours, when with all the other world bosses (including this one), they have been kill-farmed daily by the top 6-10 geared people on each server. Was this boss and the announcement(s) intended for those 6-10 top tier people, or was it to be something for lesser geared folks to gleam into a non-existent future?

To sum up these points:

1.) Why were the threads ignored on the forums when players said this wasn't a new boss?
2.) Why did no staff notice that this boss already existed in our game under a different name?
3.) Why was a world boss that is kill-farmed by the same 6-10 people on each server being touted as the biggest piece of content for this content update?
