/Thread. I think I am going to have to link this post and use it across multiple game forums.
-
For me, the issue is not so much people wanting make a game a different game, that comes with the territory, cannot please all of the people all of the time. The issue from my PoV is the, somewhat newer IMO, 'need' the 'gaming masses' have to make _every single game the same_. I see this over and over again now, much more…

I think one of the reasons for outcries about 'balance' is MOBAs, Fornite, and other similar games. Seen multiple references of late on the idea that 'every' game should be built around the idea of picking pre-exsting, pre-built game pieces to use over creating them. Some people like to play chess, others like to play…

More restrictions equals more diversity? That makes no logical sense. Why do people want more rules when all they really have to do is use thier own self control and build what they like? Why does there have to be a rule or restriction? Why do people try to repress themselves, even in pretendy-happy-fun-time? This whole…

All I really see is a bunch od people far too worried about what other people are doing and trying to be Hall Monitors. Have any of you considered running for public office? That's where the Hall Monitors hit it big, I hear. Seriously, so many of you worries over the actions of others in a game?

Wow. Some of you sound like you are working a production line for investors. Does not sound relaxing to me to focus on rewards per minute, sounds like work. Then sniping each other over minute details? Fun is definately subjective.

@bubblegirl2015 - "This might be getting closest to a DOOOM and gloom thread after all. Might be time to shut down this thread? Lots of emotional anger in here. After all this is just a game folks...If you don't like something nobody is forcing anyone into anything. I have been long enough here to see the doom and gloom…
-
This just in...lots of people play and enjoy games without rewards-per-minute being the driving factor...lots of people play MMOs for an escape, for fun, rather than trying to make it a second job around ROI... The funny part is seeing these same circular arguments for over a decade on MMO forums...it's like people never…
-
Wow there are no shortage of arm-chair-wanna-be-developers in this thread. If you really think you can do it better, then go do it better. If you really hate the direction of the game, then walk away. Are these concept really so hard for people saying they understand _everything_ about how and why the corporation makes it…
-
I love that plenty of sensible people like @echatty play STO. The dramedy is strong with some people and reasonable discourse is a dying thing... It is fascinating to me that so many people are trying to become 'binary' like computers about _everything_... No in-bewteen, no reasonable middle-ground, either full on hate or…

It's as if no one has the Internet and access to years and years of gaming history. Been playing MMOs since they were MUDs/MOOs/MUSHs. With every change, 'the game is dying' and 'the best thing ever' posts proliferate. IMO/IME, some people simply acquire thier dopamone hits off of Drama. The entire 'white knight' moniker…
-
So you are comparing what might be considered an Internet-based torches and pitchforks moment, where enough(?) consumers that play the game spoke out, about a specific price on a specific pack, to a few forum posters who think they have an idea to fundamentally change the entire pricing structure in a single forum thread?…
-
It's also pretty easy to be an armchair CFO and just post TRIBBLE on forums... It is not a zero-sum thing - the ideas may well be awesome. If the people with the ideas actually want to change things, then this forum is not the place, IMO/IME. Going around in circles about financial data and company metrics we do not have,…
-
I am not saying that Cryptic is incapable or has not looked at these things. As others have pointed out they seem to be doing fine in the fiscal sense at this time. What I am saying is that this the endless parade of armchair CEOs for MMOs is as constant as the sun rising. If, in fact, the wanna-be CEOs were serious, they…
-
Entertainment costs money. The value of that entertainment is in the eye of the customer. IMO, this is simply no different than going into a Lamborgini dealship and asking them to sell you last years model dirt cheap simply because you don't feel like paying the typical last-years-sale price. IME with MMOs since AC1, there…
-
So, you think you are justified in being rude and disgusting to other players due to your life outlook. Like other posters in this thread I keep to myself, this is a shining example of why I do so in MMOs unless playing with RL friends. If you are so intent on dictating playstyles to others and shaming them over it, then…
-
So your answer continues to be 'if you do not expend the amount of effort I think you should, you are doing it wrong.' OK. That does not make shaming others for not clicking on pixels the way you want them to any less repugnant to me. :)
-
I agree that some level of effort is needed to put into interactive entertainment for the best results. IME, there are a lot of players that still want more passive entertainment, and Cryptic has providded it, so those players are part of the target market. Shaming them, in any way, is simply not productive and IMO rude.…

$48 dollars is pocket change, I spend more one one meal of good sushi and you use the most expesive option, assuming someone acquired the Lobi for that purpose, etc. See, it's all about different outlooks. I have dropped over $1400 on this game and will drop more. People got thier entertainment dollar out of the exchange…
-
So your reply is still 'git gud', over balancing the gameplay to what the developers think will attract and keep the largest number of players? I for one hate any forum poster that comes in and demands anything from anyone, it's just silly and rude. Not everyone plays a game like this to 'git gud' some of them just play to…
-
So all of the collectable card games, miniatures games, golf clubs, and other gear and supplies for hobbies, they never become obsolete or ruled to be out of whack with the implemented playing field either huh? Sometimes, you jump on a bandwagon and you get ride to the concert, sometimes you get a ride off the cliff. In…
-
I think Cryptic is trying to make the game more accessible to more people and that people like you, that play games and point out 'bad builds' in an effort to shame other players over gear and skill level, should be banned, so the rest of us can enjoy our entertaiment in peace. That's what I think. You asked.
-
I have played MMOs since they were MUDs we had to write ourselves and PnP games for years before that. Gamers who want to ridicule other gamers and suck the fun out of the game just to make all other players act like high-damage pets are the main reasom, IMO, people think gamers suck and often the reason MMO communities…
-
So? Do you actually think that the moment you spec out a better, recommended way to complete this content that there are mean people just waiting to log in and attack your playstyle? Really? It is very difficult for me to undestand someone that asks for advice, gets good direction, and then ignores that good information…

The information being presented here on fighting the Tzenkethi is pretty awesome. However, it truly pains me to see someone allow some random players have power over them in the way this user describes. Play the way you want to play. If other players do not like it, that is their problem, please do not allow it to become…
