Passionate One

Its the fault of COVID & the War......that is all.......

Numbers will change based on the time and day. Weekends you will see more players as the "kids" are out of school, and the "adults" are off work. So the side with the most players that SHOW have the advantage. However, there is also alot to be said for skill of the player.....most Asmos are busy trying to find enough gear and stone etc to even compete. That said even gear and stone can only do so much. Part of the leveling process is lost when you are elevated too quickly. You dont learn the ends and outs of of playing a certain class, which can be the difference in a win or loss at times. There are so many things both of player and DEV side. That said, personally I think AION should go back to REAL classic, offer a sub without stings, ditch the P2W mentality and start giving a #%^%$ about the game like players do.

Its the "Greed Machine" most gaming companies run on. Like I said before we all know their aim is to make money, and they want it fast. Instead of looking at the long run. They know people will always P2W, so they keep finding ways to do such. Most people cant or wont P2W, but if a vanity items gets my attention, Im not above paying a few bucks, but having to PAY for things essential to the game is ridiculous at best. Just to enjoy the things outside of of the main such as crafting, or getting the same level of reward for the same amount of work to finish a quest is #R%$^$%^&. Basically if you dont give them money its a form of punishment. I have an issue with "paying for pixels" as all that money spent stops being relevant once you stop playing or the game ends: IE City of Heroes. So until NCS ACTUALLY starts listening to its player base the only 3 people they apparently having working in development will keep coming up with fail ways to just keep the game scrapping by and taking money. It wouldnt suprise me if if most of the bots WORK for NCS!!!!

Just coming back after a LONG hiatus.....EVERY time I log in (if I can log in) the first thing I see is "SDGKHKFSB: kinah 2/USD" or some such. This says to me that there is no hope that NCS will ever clear out the sellers. No game will ever be content until it is cleared of bots/hackers. I also do not agree with having to BUY your way through the game. Paying a sub I can see, which is how most games functions, with the option to buy vanity things. Take a look at WoW. While the changes they have made have enabled you to lvl from 10-60 in 4 days, gearing is still the main object. You pay your $15 a month but can not P2W per se. Aion was a great game until they went F2P causing a loss of many players, myself included. I understand the whole reason companies create these games is to make money, BUT without players you dont make that money you greedy people want.....so I have only one question for ALL MMO companies: What will it take for you to actually give a damn about the product and your player base and actually fix some of the issue? That might just being back more bodies which equals more money.....and DONT blame it on COVID or the War, while these things are horrible, the excuse is getting old!
