Fun fact: I spend a lot in the gem store. Real money, never gold. I support the game I love. It doesn’t feel like it matters though. And that’s why I am personally upset.

Fun fact: Gem story money goes to NCSoft, not ANet. NCSoft can and does use that money for anything they want, including development of entirely unrelated games. It has no direct connection to the game you’re purchasing it for and doesn’t specifically support that game.

I just said that as a fun fact. I’d really love to see you respond to the very long paragraph before it, thank you.

Service is a product.

Anet must think they can get away with customers frustration, but they won’t.

Kal Spiro,

I like the way you reason yourself to a slippery slope because it seems to me you have the least awareness of your own self thought. And self awareness of one own thought meaning critically examine what is your premise, what could go wrong w/ your assumptions, how does it pass the qualitative, quantitative and time frame’s lemon test. Last words.

People are too serious of their knowledge.

The next Collaborative Development Initiative will be talking about character progression, and should begin tomorrow.
I guess our last chance to get an answer will be there, as it seems no-one from Anet will ever respond to this thread…

Anet is the only thing I’m liking less than my government at this moment.
Not just from this whole fractured failure but all their other broken promises and poor efforts.

We got our answer.

Fractal Progression Reset

As we were looking at the fractal reworks we wanted to change the relative values of how hard it was to work through the fractals, because of this we wanted to bring everyone to a common starting point. We knew this was going to be controversial but we really wanted everyone to be on an even play field and once we got the feedback about it we started looking into ways we could mitigate this risk. This is a common practice we do with all releases and risks and sometimes like with this one we were not able to do anything due to time constraints and tech. It’s wasn’t our goal to devalue peoples time and effort and when reworking stuff sometimes these types of tradeoffs happen. We wanted to create a new scaling paradigm that would give us more room in the future for adding fractals and we felt the current systems was harder to scale. Our original design was for players to go past 50 but this wasn’t able to happen in time.

Thanks. That’s literally all I wanted.

So it seem Anet doesn’t really recognize the level wipe as a mistake, but more of a justification. It basically states that the feedback was never read to begin with and they did not plan on doing anything in ways of compensation nor any way to acknowledge the loss. In their eyes it’s a trade off where we loose stuff and don’t gain anything. I’m highly disappointed… We lost…

But we got our answer. Our conversation was fruitless and we can stop now and move on to another game.

Wow… That was heart-breaking… Nothing less…

Level 1 is a common starting point. Level 30 is not. =(

But we got our answer. Our conversation was fruitless and we can stop now and move on to another game.

Let me know where you end up. I also need a change.

RIP in peace Robert

Pm me too. I’m done with this game. An update that destroyed what I came on to do.
Now hearing they had no intention from the start of coming to a player friendly conclusion this is he final straw.

The last answer on this topic, from Chris Whiteside, gives a little more hope (but let’s not get too much hope…)

Romo regarding your last post I am going to spend some time thinking about how you feel and get back to you if that’s ok?

Yeah, that actually got my hopes off the floor. Anet is a great company, let’s hope they’ll make it right. As to moving on to a different game. I love this game too kitten much. With or without fractals.

Okay, I’ve stopped research for the moment. We’ll see. hehe.

Edit: I love the game too. I’ve spent my share of money (probably over 500 dollars) to keep supporting it. I just felt, until now, that I couldnt keep supporting it. I could bring my money else where. But we will see.
