I’m pretty sure collusion is an agent against a free market. That’s what the TC is accusing them of. Price fixing by controlling the supply.
You are right collusion is a monopolistic tactic to keep prices at a significant raised rate well beyond what would normally be acceptable. Anet wont do anything or hurt their friends so dont expect any action.
You either boycott it altogether to prove a point – IE no one buys any pre/legend therefore remove the profit motive
OR
Join them and pay the toll.
I dont blame them either I wish I had converted money to gems at the start and grabbed everything on the TP and sat and did that at the start. Or (not again) exploit since most of the time anet doesnt ban them. Karma/godskull/araha ect.
I really wish they would just stop. Every time they say something all it does is cause a riot.
It is getting to the point that do they even play the game anymore? Cause what they see and what I see are 2 very different things.
As a dev I would be very interested in what my players feel and see about the game. I get the feeling they are a million miles away and I truly hope NCSOFT sends someone over to right the ship before just shutting down like they did with city of heroes even tho it was profitable.
What they said pre Nov 15 doesnt exist please remove that from your memory. This is anet 2.0 and manifesto 2.0. Grind vertical progression boring bad game play in 1 spot 24/7.
Just in case you have an idea not to do the above they made sure you will get 0 loot reward and wont be able to waypoint back to the start area since you wont have the money.
Legendaries are a side product meant to keep the vanity going nothing more but added a little enticement of stat increase. Buy gems you will hmm?
Theirs arent on the TP they are locked away on certain accounts. The ones on the TP belong to a small group of players who are friends with Anet I believe.
Ya it is a mystic gobble machine. It happens all the time it is just a little RNG added into the market and nothing to worry about. There is a .01% chance per every action on the TP that has a chance to become displaced. Just keeping people poor – by gems you will?
It happens and a fair amount I have lost 15g myself cause of this “bug” I think there is no bug and what I say above is the truth.
Only a hand full of people control the pre/legend market. They control it like a cartel and I dont blame them one bit. Monopoly is the best way to extort prices from people until everyone stops buying them.
Either stand up and take responsible action or join them the choice is yours. Anet will not do anything to hurt their friends.
If they were competitive gold sellers would leave the game eventually. If Anet made it so that gold sellers no longer made money, they would leave and go to a more profitable game. Or at least there would be less of them.
However I think that would be extreme and would crush the economy.
Gold selling is highly profitable, that is why they’re so persistent.
It costs them, what $40 per account? They can make that back really quickly.
Arenanet would overall lose more money by pricing down their gem prices. It’s unfeasible and bad business sense.
It’s like telling Gucci to price their $2000 bag down to $50 to combat counterfeits. Totally unreasonable.
Why not that handbag only cost gucci $25 to make anyway throw a name on it and presto instant profit.
The forum community is only a very small part of the total players. To make things worse, it’s not a general sample – it’s a specific subgroup of players. And to make things even worse, it’s a specific subgroup including many of the worst kinds of players in the game.
I’m not happy with the idea of the AoE nerf. But to say “no one in the forum complained about it so it’s not an issue” is ridiculous – the forum does not represent what players think, much less what is or isn’t an issue in the game.
Players are not game designers. More often than not, players are not capable of doing good game design. Developers should not ask players to tell them how to design a game, since this will more often than not lead to failure after failure due to lack of long term planning, lack of care about the impact changes have in the game as a whole, and the self-centered nature of most suggestions.
It is massive you are wrong. One word Ascend. That was a direct response from Anet to the troglodytes about no vertical progression. It shows Anet is easily manipulated by the forums and will not hesitate to throw away any design philosophy or vision to appease.
At this point I think the players could do a better job actually and think that NCSOFT should send someone over who knows what they are doing to set the ship straight cause I heard the rats are seeing the water pouring in.
When you continually and forcefully make players play the way you want them to and not how they want you end up with what we have now. A dead world and a lacking game. You either buy gems →gold or grind endless hours for nothing. That is why this game has only 1/8th players left.
If you ignore your core demographic you die, if you communicate properly you have gold and a successful run.
They want to reduce the ability to make money via farming it is a simple as that. They could care less about the rest. The AOE feedback/metrics are not true and just a fake reason to change it. The goal is to get you to buy gems.
How about you hire people who can balance and who know who to run a game/live service before NCSOFT/NEXON turns this into city of heroes.
They keep at it and there is no surprise to it. They have lost over 3/4s of the original people who purchased the game and they seem content on driving the rest out of it too.
Play their way or dont play at all or increase the grind exponentially. I have never heard of AOE issue.
Here is an Idea:Make the game we want to play and we will support you ie buy gems. Force us to buy gems = bad press.
Hopefully NCSOFT will see that the money is drying up and do what they did to city of heroes.
A name change maybe -just maybe(doubt) but that is it. Anet have done nothing to prove to me they are doing that interests me or that I support.
In fact the changes to the game have so bad that there is likely little reason I would ever give anymore money to this company again.
Colin stated that the new open world revamp would allow the ability to get precursors. He now came out a day ago and said no that isnt the case and that maybe just maybe there may be some way to possible fit a little rng thing into the revamp but dont expect anything at all @ precursors. Basically status quo as far as precursors go and why they even said that in first place really ticks me off.
They dont know what they are doing anymore.
The scav hunt is 6+months out far on the backburner so dont expect any help in any way shape or form.
So flip the TP, grind your events, and pray to the all mighty RNG god any maybe just maybe you will get lucky. That is the reality or what I think they want you to do is BUY GEMS →gold and buy your stuff.
I was on Fort Aspenwood, but I switched over to Sea of Sorrows to check. And maybe you are right. It is 6:29 where I live, but quite possible people are still at work in other time zones. Maybe I’ll check back when dailies reset? I was just a little sad because i was surprised to see the worlds so empty.
I am sure that at 6.30 on a thursday people are either still in bed, or on their way to school or work. Doesnt mean the game is dead, it means people have lives :p
Try again in the evening
I am sorry but this isnt a solo game this is a mmo. If there cant be sufficient people on at all times of the day to fulfill whatever type of game experience you want there is something very very very wrong.
Do I even need to remind you a few months ago plinx at 4am had 15 people or that WvW and night capping as a 24/7 game?
Take the rose coloured glasses off and see the real picture.
Yes Please TRY AGAIN I SAY.
The game isnt dead not yet at least. They made some horrific design choices without thinking through the consequences.
Maybe you werent on the overflow as that is one of the best ways to get a group together.
Add that to the mass player exodus you have what feels like a dead game. I think they sold a lot of copies but have a poor retention rate. As of right now there is only 1 place to get loot and gear so no one goes anywhere else. Add in the incredible grind and people just decide to move on since they cant get rewards for playing the way they want. The devs have also lost a lot of credibility over the past few months and that has also had a chilling effect.
I cant tell you if people will return because who knows but none of my original friends and guildies are in game.
Ya best loot and gear is in fractals so no one goes to orr. They also nerfed open world loot drops to just above porous bones and it isnt worth the time to do the events. It takes too long to recover the way point cost ect. Now add in the risen and with less population there are more of them and cc stuns it isnt fun.
I did forget they also nerfed the plinx time so he spawns much less now a long with other reductions in events running.
Its just another bad grind without reward so people choose to grind fracs cause that is where it is at and stand in LA LFG all day.
One of the worst design decisions that is on par with Illum.
Also the vast majority of the player population has left the game for good.
I agree with you. Play their way or dont play at all/ expect content.
The only thing I did of the content so far was the the book hunt and open world present boxes.
They choose not to validate the way I play or entice me to continue on for the events.
I have found the “free” (which is a lie – they use it to sell gems to make money and isnt free it is just others supporting the cost) to be of no relevance to me and nothing a challenge or satisfactory. I cant play my way they made sure to nerf that and my real hope is that they actually take this feedback to heart.
More grind and Rng cant wait wow this game is just going great. Gated gear grind and Vp, grind for legendary,grind for armour. Now new open world grind.
Can we please get a little more grind I feel that my teeth as a beaver are growing faster than I grind. I need more too do. Please add new dungeons with more +1 gear to grind.
You guys are really good at finding every opportunity to complain and whine about things that is either implemented or not implemented. Seems like everything is something to complain about. Sheesh, life is complicated enough.
No being sold a game before launch with specific promises to have that thrown under the bus in 2 months is wrong.
Asking me to support them and then change the entire base of the game in 1 patch is wrong.
Sorry but maybe you dont hold people accountable for what they do and take whatever you can get but I dont. You sell me a product I expect it to live up to the expectations you promised. Or expect some time of attempt to redress the situation.
You cant trust them on anything anymore and the no new tier is meaningless. They have no problem selling out ideas or shunting concepts out because they do it without hesitation. Frankly dont believe the hype and dont trust anything they say. This is 2.0 now and a whole new ball game or hockey.
They just dont know anything and they shouldnt say anything. It seems they are all flailing around behind the scenes without a direction. The first statement said obtain the second say try to get into there somehow maybe. That is a huge and distinct difference.
I have given up believing anything they say since they have no hesitation throw it under the bus if it doesnt suit them at the time.
So we may or may not have a scav hunt next year 2014 expansion I take it then. So dont bother and just convert gems →gold and buy it off the TP right that is the point.
To complain about prices when Anet gives u something no other mmo truly does is ignorant. They invest time, money, and hard work for this and u accuse them of grabbing money from us? They deserve it. Who and what have you done to be special that you shouldn’t pay for their service?
What is that grind? or 0 open world loot vs $ dungeons?
I am sorry but the game I prepurchased died Nov 15. If they ever decide that want my money they will have to earn it. They havent done so so far. In fact I would say that I really wasnt wanted as a player. Why do they deserve anything? I reward people based on performance and expectations. Anet hasnt lived up to their prepurchase promises.
Therefore they receive no further financial support from me.
As to the end of the transfers it is about time. This will only help stabilize WvW and proper populations. Stop the bandwagoning and jumping ship. Considering it was expected to stop a few days after launch I say that it has gone on entirely too long and cost a lot more in player participation and retention then most people will admit.
If you have friends guesting should be implemented by then and if not join them as it is still free to transfer. Or farm gold and hope they let you use gems for the transfer and you dont have to spend real life money.
I will wait till I see it in game. Their credibility is 0 right now and frankly dont care. I cant trust what they say to happen if it even happens at all.
Just keep putting new gear in new dungeons and let the rest of us play without that thanks.
3 million is nice but what is the retention rate 10-15%? slight of hand?
No from the start they were sellable. People are rightly upset that the most prestigious weapon is not a reflection of skill or dedication but bank account or ability to acquire gold.
Do not expect a change. The owners of the precursor/legendary market and anet all profit from this system.
Honestly wait till it is in game. Devs dont have a clue right now. They may have sold a lot but the retention rate is way down.
I just dont understand why they decided to go away from the dungeons. Just keeping new gear in new dungeons.
I just dont think anet has credibility at the moment and I would wait till it was implemented because of how they change things without notice.
Unfortunately you are kinda stuck. You will die and they wont help you. It is their prerogative to go only so far. Ya it is kinda unfair but that is their choice. Until there
is better balance ie solo then nothing can be done – the event fails and starts over.
It is the same way else where do it my way or dont do it. or my way is better ect.
All I can say is have a friend/guildie help or move on to another one.
It is sad and bias but that is how it is. They dont have a direction with the game and they dont know what to do. That is obvious. And although they (threads)get shut down a lot of the ascend gear people are still flaming away on the fan forums and here as well. So dont worry this will continue to haunt them as SWG did/does to TOR.
Each day they lose more and more players because of inability to act and a productive and concise manner. They never mean what they say and anything they say is always “taken out of context” or misinterpreted. The people I know simply dont believe anything they say at all.
It is really sad to see a once great developer go right down the drain so fast with bad decisions. This has been a bad year 2 top houses are now mud Anet and Bioware.
I truly hope ncsoft or nexon come in and tutor/replace those who are making the decisions with someone who has a vision and will develop that vision with the community and stay on target and communicate with the players. That is the only way I see this game making it anywhere because it is right on track with Tor.
You will prob get a nasty gram saying how bad you are and a little time out in the corner to think about your issues.
But they wont tell what the limit is so you dont go right up to it and stop. But it would be a few days off from posting.
I just stopped opening my mail hence I dont have any infractions lol.
If you disagree with it you can always appeal it in the email @anet foums.
I think they are very busy tho.
you are correct but that wont stop the fanboys at all they will keep believing.
The population has taken a massive hit down and enormous amount since launch. Think TOR loss of subs down.
I will say this tho that doesnt determine revenue stream to the game. Most cash shops are supported by 10% of the playing population. (whales) so even if they have lost that many players their revenue stream may still be viable and manageable. But we all now NCSOFT has no hesitation on shutting down a profitable game.
The telling part may just be the expansion sales I think.
It take well over 2 months to add a vendor there is an issue. No ascend gear was hastily thrown in to appease a certain class of people who left the game anyways. It was a direct response to the qq on the forums about progression grind and advancement. They threw everything manifesto and all under the bus to appease this group. So in the end they lost both sets of players. Ever bit of marketing material was HP.
They have lost all credibility with me and I dont really believe anything they say until it is in the game.
As to the effect ya I feel I dont need armour at all so it doesnt effect me. who wants to run a dungeon? come on really now better stats are always better stats=more loot.
They put this out so fast and without thinking the consequences have been horrific on the game and player population.
I doubt we will see a vendor or anything else but the next set of gear in the new dungeon next month.
My hope is maybe they actually stop and think about what the ramifications of the actions are before the go ahead and insert it into a live game. And Yes please test for bugs as well.
You picked a bad time to come back. They released something called fractal dungeon where only the best gear can be obtained and also the best loot drops. They have also nerfed the open world loot drops to 0 to force people to run fracs or buy gems.
The consequence of this is a dead world.
A couple of solutions:
1)transfer to a higher pop server if possible
2)wait out and see if Anet plans to re invigorate the world
3) try and find a partner to help out
I did my exploration and ya it was dead 1 person maybe that is it in the zones so I understand your pain. Try and be persistent.
Good Luck
People loved the game they paid for and beta tested, that game no longer exists.
Hmm, that’s odd, I login to GW2 and play it every day, still the same game
you havent made it out of the starter area then I take it?
There is a wonderful new thing call DR enjoy it. it is unlimited
Open world loot drops =0 crapola
everyone sits in LA going LFG no one in the world
Must I keep going cause it is in no way shape or form the same game I played at the start. That was fun enjoyable rewarding and kept me playing for long periods of time.
Now i have a solo grind for what? A weapon that is half finished compared to other legendaries.
I just wish people who no longer play will stop posting on the forums since their posts are often unreasonable, out of place and disrespecting of anyone who does like the game , including new players.
Constructive criticism is a good thing, it gives suggestions on how to improve things, throwing your toys out of the cot is not.
Why? they payed the exact same as you for the game. The have the right to say whatever they want. Frankly if you think this forum is bad check out the other fan forums as they have made a mess there worse than here.
They have every right to be upset at whatever forced them to leave the game especially if it was over “design decisions”. The basic fact that over 75% of the population is gone doesnt give you a clue and people are upset then stay off of the forums. People Gripe in hope of change for the better no matter how distant a possibility it is.
Think of this as SWG and TOR exact same phenomena.
And yes pre Nov 15 it was really a good forum with little negativity to it with the exception to the nerf thief threads. I rushed to 80 what do I do type stuff or saying how great and fun the game is. Or asking about future content at 80.
Post Nov 15 is what you see now. That should tell you everything right there.
I do agree that the game must adapt to the new climate but you dont drop a bomb
that changes the entire game without saying a kitten word about it. You have a dialogue with your gamers and talk to them and explain why. NOT
DO fracs better gear be better then everyone else and do content others cant.Make more money too- have edge in WvW ect ect….
as far as we know there is no vertical progression? as stated by a-net: ascended gear should’ve been there on launch, but yeah we finished it to late
you believe that? I dont. It was hastily put together to enhance the stickiness factor and keep people playing cause they were all complaining about nothing to do.
They had no intention of adding ascension gear simply because legendaries would have been a little different.
The cheapest and easiest content is the +1 stat but there are significant downfalls to it.
They made the trade off of a gated gear grind vs a proper horizontal progression.
The later taking time and energy to implement and not just a quick skin with +1 stat.
The option was keep losing players and hope of HP later or Insert VP now and loose some and
retain more because there is stickiness in the endgame.
Well it backfired on them and they lost both sets players. On top of that those that had supported
the game because of said promises felt betrayed and stabbed in the back. They have been
making a mess of the fan forums for a while now a la SWG.
I am sure the dungeon was in design for a while but not the gear at all that was sloppily thrown in
without thought of consequences. And it hurt the players and the game and Anets rep.
Their credibility is shot at the moment and a lot of people I know as well as me dont believe what they say anymore. Just look at the latest example -we are working on a scavenger hunt for pres- no no we are not – Lol
Or
We have expansion amount of content coming for free -
But well you wont get expansion like content.
Or
There is no open world loot issue-
We will be revamping and make open world more rewarding.
Add in the condescension from the posts and it really isnt a nice picture.
they also stated that all exotics arent created equal. Lindsey said that I believe. I take that named exotics have a higher chance to produce an precursor than just normal exotics.
But that is just my take on what she said. I have 0 luck and dont play the toilet often cause it flushes my gold out to sea to fast and too often.
The scav hunt will not be coming in the near future – Colin stated so so dont expect it within the next 5 months. Although they may attempt another way to increase the availability or drop rates but that is all unknown at this time.
Good luck – someone has to have it lol.
Edit- yes they must be level 75 min.
That is right the talent from GW1 left and they couldnt pull it off here. We do we get instead is a poor wow clone. The game was ok but not great and the live service is horrific as well as the extra content.
The management on this game has been reflected by the player population and the fact that most have left and wont be coming back.
They have failed to do anything innovative or FUN – grind in 1 place for money and loot. Great I can do that better in other games.
Frankly the comparison with GW2 to TOR is spot on except Bioware has better customer service. That is funny really really funny.
When you advertise and make promised to just throw them under the bus in 2 months time what do you expect Roses?
It’s my choice to… I’m not stating he cannot state his as you are doing to me… he’s only seen 20%? I asked a question, no more, stand down.
No. You’re not stating an opinion, you’re blatantly accusing him of lying about how much he’s played.
And I’m asking you rather politely to please refrain from doing so, and to contribute something of value to this discussion.
I have to agree OP is stating an issue that needs to be looked at. I Have 2 level 80s in full exotic and 600+ hrs in. There are events and dungeons I have never done. Hell I havent done Arah Ever – not once. Does that negate my experience no it does not.
This game cant afford to keep losing players it is getting really bad now and they really need to overhaul their pve system like the op says.
I am conflicted about this somewhat. It is nice to see a response but most times it comes with condescension tied to it.
Or it is to inform us they are going to make things worse via opportunities to make gold.
I have gotten to the point where I liked it over christmas there was nothing at all and it was nice. Now they say they are reworking rewards for open world all the time calling us liars and saying everything is fine and that it is only perception.
Except say bugs and stuff I prefer not to have any posts.
And honestly from what I have seen the posts have to do with side conversations and not with the actual OP as well especially in BLTC forum. There really is very little information provided anyways.
A few people I know share this opinion but I am sure it is a minority but I would prefer silence and just the odd blog post cause frankly every time they come on here it bugs me.
No you will be ok. Just if they release a new patch and content look for things that are out of the ordinary or a better metric is actually if you can make money at it.
Be weary for new recipes ect that return more than what you normally receive.
If you do salvage say a boot you get some leather and possible ecto. So if you get leather +something + a lot more ecto then something is wrong and stop.
And report it.
It can be hard to tell – I am not a hardcore crafter but that is what I go by.
If what you wanted to do was bannable it would have been done a long time ago.
Good luck on your quest
Have you ever considered allowing gambling in-game? Perhaps on sPvP tournaments? It might serve as an interesting way for folks to earn gold and take some gold/energy out of trading post speculation. (And it could serve as an additional gold sink as well.)
Or maybe it would just make everything worse?
While that sounds super fun (and I could see it making a community much more involved in learning about who the top of PVP was), I also could see it causing a lot of complaints about “stolen money” due to games that crashed, matches that may have been won due to exploits, etc. I’m sure there could be safeguards though. And you’re right that it could be a good gold sink if the “betting company” took 10% of all winnings or something.
Also, just wanted to say thank you John. For a while you’ve been talking in a few threads without really answering any questions, which I can understand would be frustrating for players. They see someone from Anet coming into their thread and not answering their question when as far as they are concerned, you could easily answer their question.
I’m glad to see that you’re active in the community though, and I’m sorry that people (me included) can give you a hard time.
I would be ok with this but I easily see fixed tournaments becoming the norm and the players getting a share just like real life. There arent a lot of players left that do TPVP and I am sure it wouldnt be hard for them to get the fix going.
I can deal with randomness just fine. What I cant deal with is being on the wrong end of it 100% of the time. That isnt random that tells me something is very very wrong.
I have been doing orr runs again a bit and I must say pre Nov 15 I would get (rare) 4-6 per plinx run and the same for 3 pen/shelt runs with a nice bunch of greens and blues.
Now if and I mean IF i get a rare I am happy. That is so sad it isnt funny it barely pays for the waypoint cost. Never had an exotic drop for me ever -chest-JP-dung nothing now way no how 600+hrs in. Just the exploration that gave me exotic.
I am at a point now that I just log in and do my trades on the TP and log off since I cant make money in the open world and play like I want. For all purposes I am finished with this game and I think Bio- I mean Anet needs to look at some things.
The population on the server and just the accounts tied to them not how many are concurrently playing or that.
Anet are also able to control those limits dynamically and can change very easily. As seen at event times they up the limits to the servers and reduce it when the players fall off.
It is cost management issue so I doubt that they increase the server limit with the reduced player activity and also the fact that many players have exited the game.
If they had tech that would allow them to park inactive accounts on a separate server and when reactivated get an automatic place on the original home server it would be better.
As free transfers continue it wont change either – this is a minor population control and direction. limit players to fill up the lowest servers and bring them back up.
Well if you think attempting to make a company live up to its promises and keep them honest is negative and horrible so be it.
But I for one bought this game on promises and ideas presented to me way before launch. They have thrown those under the bus. And changed the game significantly.
I think it is important to hold people and companies accountable for what they say and promise otherwise you end up with vanilla instead of chocolate and told it is chocolate and look its white and yes you were promised and got chocolate.
As to positive people playing never met my guild they rip this game to pieces everyday.
It is just a certain type of person that tries to communicate.
The make it or break it was a while back and unfortunate it went to the break it point.
This is from a player population standpoint.
The design decisions and implementation and management have been on par with Bioware and tor. Player populations continue to exit at a significant rate.
What I cant answer is the revenue stream income. If the remaining players are supporting the game fine then there isnt an issue. However if as the players leave they are the big spenders on the gem store we will see a greater push for gems.
This has already started but not to a significant degree yet. I do expect within the next few months a free to play announcement and a full gem cash shop since the population is gone and new players are needed.
yup this is what they wanted a gear grind treadmill with a stat increase. as soon as it gets too much or they continue to destroy open world loot I am outa here.
Horizontal progression is dead long live vertical grind treadmill and not the game promised to those who prepurchased.
Na kids play this game cant do that. Besides the outrage of the big massive Jabbu the Hut body styles. Love to see some gaint Norn Blob go flopping by with all those rolls of fat jiggling around. That there is a ball of ectoplasm.
Or the skinny Asurans that disappear when they turn sideways.
Now I am all for it but this isnt a rated 18+ game and not all people and cultures respect the naked body for what I or you see it as.
I have over 600 + hours in and Never ever Ever had an exotic drop. I mostly do open world but do dungeons and WvW.
Nothing from a chest or dungeon ever.
Not ONE that alone is enough to tick me off.
SO the only exotic I have ever got from this game was from exploration prize that is it. Or I purchased off of the TP.
The only other exotic (single not plural) I got was when I played with the mystic toilet.
All I can say is that I am so disappointed with this game from a loot standpoint that I am about to walk away since I dont get a fricking thing. I am stuck spending hours on the TP just trying to make money so that I can play the game the way I like. Tell me that is wrong?
the price is because the margins on the ectos have been reduced so now the next biggest money maker is the gamble on upgraded forge runes. So they will continue to spike until the masses catch on and start bringing the margins for those down and then ecto margins will go up again.
It makes no difference to me. They are competing with everything else and do nothing spectacular or unique except present a dungeon grind.
The trade off for the no sub was stuff I wanted from the gem shop and living up to the agreement when they sold me this game.
They threw the agreement under the bus in less than 2 months and the gem shop is RNG good luck casino or bad skins.
As far as I can tell they took a bet with Bioware as to whom could crash faster because the parallels are so obvious and blindingly funny. It could have been so much better and the wasted opportunities, it saddens me. The bad decisions and management used.
For an MMO – GW2 fits the definition of a dying game.
Saw it with Warhammer. Saw it with Age of Conan. Saw it with Star Wars: The Old Republic. The same patterns. And here players don’t even have to pay to play.
“GW2 fits the definition of a dying game”
With a steady population growth and lots of high population servers with increasing economies on all? Well if that’s your definition of a dying game, what is your definition of a growing one?
Next thing, you’ll tell us that CoD Black Ops 2 was a great innovation for the FPS genre.
What game are you playing cause it aint this one I am afraid. When you shed your mass volume of players ala Tor in 4 months there is no issue? Right.
Server status is just the accounts on that server – does no one read what devs write anymore?
They sold 2Mill copies and need place to put them just in case they log a back in. It in no way shape or form means that the server is current running full online 24/7 with concurrent players.
