I was in the beta as well, in fact, I was one of the few lucky ones who got invited into Alpha late march 2010. And I was keep on telling my self that "this is only alpha/beta, and SE only showing a fraction of the game, it will be great when is out"...

I was wrong, so wrong, nothing changed in the released version.

edit: btw I just found out one of the post was nuked by SE (Just-how-much-will-SE-lose-over-this-new-billing-system) I hope they don't nuke this one as well.

They can delete the post, but they can never delete our concerns (until the issue is fixed).

That is a little disconcerting....if anything, they should have stickied it. That way if SE doesn't fix it and the boss goes on a tirade at their next quarterly meeting and wants to know WTF happened, they'll have something to explain it. Last I saw it was up to $800 of lost recurring revenue--and that's just from a small sampling of the playerbase.

Methinks some of the higher-ups got spooked.

It's probably more of a bandwagon prevention thing. "Hey, they aren't paying SE, I won't, either! They'll have no choice!" So probably more of a business decision than just to 'hide the truth'. It may even be archived or moved to a Dev-only forum.

[Felren]

Hiding the truth IS a business decision..... just a very unethical one.

If they wanna be unethical, they could just overcharge all our creditcard while they still can, then close all ffxi service, at least that would be a better use of unethical "immediate profitable" business decision.

same for me

We shouldn't start counting again "I'll quit coz of this" in this thread, or else SE will nuke this thread just like how they deleted "Just-how-much-will-SE-lose-over-this-new-billing-system." without give us a reason why.

[RAIST]

hehe... that would be interesting....delete the more or less main thread on the issue---with over 600 posts in it and still no post from a mod in it, just some mediation action on some posts.

Hope they actually are taking note of the new posters coming in here like that. Each new name registering a complaint puts us one step closer to the threshold that puts a fire under someone's butt to make a decision on how to handle it.

Edit: @Alukat
might want to clean up the tags a bit. It's getting a little out of hand down there.

[Revanchist]

Like RAIST said, over 600 posts and nothing from SE about this.... TBH, I'm a little concerned about what's going to happen at the end of the month with the payment options. It's obvious Moderators have been in this thread (judging from the deleted posts etc), so they'd have to know that people are concerned about this and want some answers.

I don't think it's too much to ask that SE respond to this, more than what they've done already (with that statement issued by Matt "Bayohne" Hilton, the other day) and re-examine the situation. 62 pages in, and nothing told so far about what's being done to rectify this situation, isn't going to go down well with the consumer base at all. Granted there are some who acting concerned about this and are offering their own opinions/advice (I think we know who they are), as well as some are 'raging', but ultimately, there are people who want to know what's going on here. Is that too much to ask?
