    Nothing, really. It feels like PWI is the Hong Kong to PWE's China. Game-changing tweaks and/or balances can't be made unless big daddy PWE does it for them (how about them DQ fixes?).

    There are other options available for those who enjoy balanced PvP in a variety of flavors, including the World vs World/Server vs Server Territory Wars we so eagerly wanted. Those games (with full access to all content) cost about the same as 100 anniversary packs and have much better support teams than PWI's hodgepodge of college interns.

    i am still here because of my friends in here and because of al the effort i put in my toons but if you wanted me to start al over agian i would run screaming away from pwi heck i only do dailly,s on my toons and help lower lvl players thats all most of the time i am watching a movie or so from the time my acc ar logged in i am amybe spending 2 hours playing at most but the fact is for a brand new player there are tons of better mmo,s out there newer better support less focused on cs and more balanced then this old game wich lost it ways old pwi was a great game now pwi is great when you can cs tons of rl money in it if not it sucks
    welll yeah im sure most pple would be horrified if they had lost their effort of x years down the drain to start over again >> im sure i would as well

    Another method is makeing lvling a more group effort oriented thing. Much like that first square enix mmo back in 2001, there the leveling process the mobs were so strong they forced you to make groups to level or face having your *** handed to you. Grinding gave u beast coins to trade into orbs too for a special boss fight for epic or shetty loot b:chuckle of course this was always a challenge to and many had their *** handed to them and came bk out empty handed

    Why is comparing food poisoning to perfect world "stupid"?

    How is comparing it to a casino any better? If you realize that your friend is about to bet their life savings on very low odds (knowing that he isn't some super rich guy where a few million dollars is pocket change), are you just going to simply "gtfo" without trying to convince him that it is a bad idea? Some friend you are.
    b:surrender
    To put it simply for you, with your comparison, the only thing youll be warning your friend is how dumb you are to frequent a restaurant for x years that continuously food poisons you. Thats why i used a casino because its a place you can frequent while getting f-ed over multiple times and still go again.

    i agree on that completly but i am afraid its to late for that lets face it most new players when new expension come,s out wil be alts of high lvl ra people with endgame gear so if the mobs wil be to hard they load there mains and wil let them rampage on those mobs new toons with new expansion wil be bassiclly be powerlvl with mains so to have that effect you talk about gameplay needs a bigchange like no high lvl can enter lower lvl area,s and dungeons then you force people to squad but that wil make the endgame players qq a lot and most of them are the people who charge zen so pwi wont risk it and the change that they can quit i understand pwi is a bussines and need to make a profit i get that but pwi is going the wrong way profit okay but only thinking about making profit wil kill pwi 1 of these days

    Nothing can be done to attract new players..they either come and play and stay or be casual or just leave.Its just the nature of gaming.

    Well after the patch i found myself using this game more like social media like facebook i don't even spend money on it no more also found more of a social life in real life sense i gave up trying to lv 90 + toons so actually it all worked out.

    and sense my life improved maybe they should get rid of bh auto thats cheating.

    we should all have to earn are lv by quests figure that put my game time at two hours a day instead of the 6 hours.

    then i can have more time to do other things.

    maybe i can go to the gym more and work out more i think earning time should be 6 hours a day and every one should go outside and get away from siting in front of the pc all day that way pwi promotes a healthier life style.

    Im bored of this game. I didnt log in yesterday. Not even to do my jolly quests on multiple chars, not even to put my lvl102 sin on auto farming. I spend all day watching anime.Dont know what im going to do today. Dont know if im going to log in. Everyday the same ****.Not even in game friends i made attract me anymore. I even left the faction i was in cause i wanted to be alone.There is nothing to attract me anymore but i cant let go yet. I dont even feel the need to gather money for r9 gear. Dont know if this feeling gonna change but now i dont feel the need to play it.

    I log M-F to check in but I do head off to another game to play. One that allows me to FARM for 99% of the items I need.

    It just seems the things we can refarm and sell is limited to: TT and Lunar mats and oh sure .. plants if you like spending days on end plucking them... (so few and set soo far apart vs how many you need just to make a few potions).

    I like farming but moreso I like being self-sufficient... by finding an assorted amount of things to farm.. and being limited to 3 tiny things - that sometimes sells.. is just not doing it for me.
