That's what happens when you're not around for so long.

this is probably a bait topic, but genuinely my only issue with lackluster patch content (this is ofc subjective) is autodemo. The scarcity of housing means that it's very likely that if I lose my personal (which I got back in placard hell days), I may never get another one bc of the way lotto works. I've spent months paying for a sub without logging in for anything other than entering my house, prior to autodemo being turned off (and it's on again now lol), and it kind of sucks. I don't want to quit the game fully, because I do enjoy it, but I wish I could just take breaks and only sub when I actually want to play instead of having to pay 14$ a month because if I don't, I may never get a house again.

I know for some people this is a non-issue, but for me housing decoration is one of my favorite parts of the game, and I don't want to lose it (and decorating apartments is way more restrictive than decorating a medium, or even a small), so while normally being bored by patch content wouldn't be an issue, it really really sucks having to pay money for a game I'm not even playing bc if I don't, I'll lose a very limited in game thing that I could possibly never get again. Like seriously I wouldn't care if every patch disappointed me if I could just unsub until I wanted to play again, but being trapped by housing blows. I do love the game and I don't want to quit, but I'm tired of paying a monthly sub for a game I spend months not playing bc housing is so scarce I don't want to risk losing mine.

I'm still waiting on that new Wildstar patch.

Protip, don't renew your subscription, log in the last day you can and enter the house. Let the next month pass, and then renew again. You only have to enter the house once within 45 days to avoid the auto-demolition. So you can pay every other month without worry.

It's that Highlander obession guy! :eek:

Their business model is working perfectly, then. You're paying them money for a fake house you're not even using for months at a time. Congrats.

remember on the live letter before 6.1 when they cried what I presume to now be fake tears over increasing the patch time from 3.5 to 4?

Be thankful you aren't waiting 2 years or more for them to update the game. Blue Mages still waiting.

Although honestly with the DoA content, declining story, staff being pushed to FF16, shit combat system, bad PvP,, poor Endgame gearing and the den of cheaters being exposed for what they are it might be a good idea to take a extended break.

I think 7.0 is gonna be a make it or break it kind of deal for many a player. The shills in a barrel will say otherwise but I'm just seeing more of the same content with different coats of paint and the gameplay just gets more simplified.
