Sure looked like a rage-fueled post to me. I doubt I'm the only one. Re-read it and tell me true: if someone else wrote that, would you not consider the description "rage-fueled rant" apt? Regardless of how you personally felt at the time the post was written, it sure does come off as such. I doubt I'm the only one, but then again, I might just be. /shrug

Yes, they did make adjustments to 2.0 WAR....after players brought up legitimate concerns, and after SE stated the job was fine. If players had kept quiet, SE wouldn't have looked twice at the job, they did say it was just fine, after all. It was the legitimate concerns that they paid attention to, and looked at.

Which was the whole point of my post. There are legitimate concerns with various things within the game, keeping silent about these things only ensures there will never be any adjustments made to them, ever.

The "FANTASIA OR RIOT!" thread did not succeed because of the word Riot, or any other reason besides the massive amount of support from the forums the thread had. It didn't matter what was in the thread title that got people to keep it on the main page for so long, and have so many positive replies supporting the idea. It was all those supporting replies and requests that got the change. Not because of the word "riot" or any other adjective you want to use. It succeeded despite the words in the title.

I cannot speak for anyone else, but I have had reservations about the game since Soldiery came in. Remember, there was no way SE could know if ARR's launch would succeed or fail like 1.0 did, SE had to play it safe with the games endgame content and, for the first 6-9 months, had it planned out to use the format we have now to buy themselves time. They simply had to keep the potential for loss at a minimum, but at the same time they needed to ensure that players, should the game succeed, not burn through content so fast. Enter weekly tomestone grinds, and one actual raid at a time. I understood this, and have mentioned before it was smart decision on SE's part to do this.

I personally kept quiet during this, all while waiting and hoping that the expansion would give SE the reason to add some much needed variety to the endgame grind. he announcement of Heavensward began the countdown on how long I'd, personally, be willing to keep quiet about farming the same 2-3 dungeons for different colored tomestones week after week. Heavesnward did not even try to offer some variety to our daily/weekly grind. They kept it the same as before. This is not acceptable. How anyone can defend doing the same thing for 2 years with zero variation is beyond me.

Having had enough, I have come here, to the forums designed for the very feedback I wish to convey to the makers of this wonderful game, and give voice, at long last, to my concerns. I am not alone in this. Many others have also stepped forward, and intelligently, thoughtfully, and with respect to both forum goers and the devs themselves.

If you or anyone else disagrees with this, that's fine. I may not understand the reasoning behind, but everyone is entitled to their own opinions on any given topic. What isn't fine is when individuals step forward and post well thought out, intelligent posts highlighting their concerns, are met with rage fueled rants such as yours. Or told to "shut up and leave" or any other such nonsense. Yes, it's the internet and people are generally more of an asshat online then off, but c'mon.
