Immersion, The Facts & Fiction

Seems like the more information SE gives us about what they are doing with the game, the more people wanna cry about it. Almosts seems like they would be better off going back to the time when they didnt tell us squat about what they are doing. How about we worry about immersion or the lack there of once they start talking about charging us? Until then we should all take a nice big spoonful of shut-the-hell up and wait for them to finishing getting their act together. Just sayin.

Very few people are going to 'shut-the-hell-up' over a product they've paid for, even if they aren't paying a monthly fee for it. Don't forget that this isn't 'actually' the beta test even though it sure as heck looks like it.

But everyone knows the situation. They know SE is trying to make the game much better than what it was, and that they've stopped subscription fees so they can at least offer something to the players while they rebuild the game. It may not seem completely fair to the individual player but what else do you honestly expect SE to do? Leave the game as it is?

This obviously isn't a normal situation for a game that's been released and SE are acknowledging that. If people are so bothered about the £30~ they paid for the game at launch, perhaps they should think about how much they've saved by playing for free and how much cash SE is actually putting into this game.

It's a product, not your life.

You don't have to explain it to me, you don't see me making complain threads and you won't.
The fact is, however, not everyone is going to be that reasonable... and it's unreasonable to expect it. That's all I'm saying.

So when they change something stupidly that they never had to, my immersion being effected is my fault? When I've already been immersed in the world before they added.... example A instant free teles in between cities?

I don't know this is a stupid topic. Nobody knows what immersion is. You can't describe it in words, it's just something you feel.

Exactly. And I think the main point is that "immerision" isn't the number one priority right now.
