That might be a side effect, but their real intention is to keep players subscribed as long as possible. We aren't at WoW levels of time gating, but that's exactly what it is. Time gating.Quote:

05-01-2022, 10:52 PMSamsaraTrickstarDid I say that? How wow is even relevant? Do things that last longer and fun. New pvp is this, but we need to see how fast they will upgrade the loot you can get. They can make something like a boss rush mode that is random. The longer you go the more you get. Lots of things they can but do not.hell they can add a good minion game or card game.Quote:

I wouldn't mind if the game was F2P, really. But with this horrible housing system, that forces you to keep paying, it'd be nice to have something to do on top of it, not just afk for 3.5 months waiting for the next content ( which will be really cool, I can't wait for 6.2 with new raid, relic weapon, criterion and new trial serie).Quote:

It would, for sure, keep many of us busy while waiting. -

It sure feels nice to not have to play everyday but pay for my subscription so I don't lose said house. T-Thanks SE. -
05-02-2022, 02:36 AMIdowhatIwantYeah I hate that, and they said they would not implement a system to demolish houses for unsubbing. But then they allowing single player housing and demand went up and as usual the casual RP NA players ruin it for every one.Quote:

Honestly people throw this quote around so much. It is a game directors response to there is not enough content in your game to make me want to play it. And they say it's fine stop playing. They don't ask for feed back for better content, what the player may feel is missing, they say go head quit we don't care you will come back at another patch. People praise this, and although I can agree, if you aren't enjoying a game take a break, but a game director saying this IMO comes off as lazy. Then again when you tell people to take a break but force them into subbing to keep a house it doesn't matter to you if they are playing you are still collecting money.Quote:

They have never built the game around the idea of *always* having something to do. they actively encourage players to play other games between patchesQuote:
