Since you are spending resources on events

Judging by this guy's other threads and posts, i think i can safely say he's a certifiable troll. Constant negativity, selective reading/responding, stubborn on points, claims to be a game dev, backpeddles a lot.

No one's going to sway him into thinking events and content are actually a gigantic part of the measure of an MMO's success.

Edit: Then again, that's just how he comes off to me. Maybe these forums have made me too jaded and cynical

You are really hung up on calling me a troll. It seems like all you do is troll me. I don't see you actually bringing anything to the table in way of comments other than "I am a troll"

I've replied in a legitimate fashion every other time I've reponded to one of your posts, you chose to ignore most of the actually info or opinions in my posts.

So here's another legit response: shutting down the servers to fix everything would only have been a viable alternative prior to actual launch, unless they refunded all of our purchases. However we would not be able to give feedback unless they put the game back into beta which is essentially where we are right now.

They must continue adding content alongside the fixes. Content may not be that important to you but I've seen lack of content topple many MMOs. You may not quit over it but a large number of MMO players will.

I imagine we'll never agree on this point though because as you yourself said, content holds no meaning for you.

When your post starts out with comments like "OP is possibly a Troll" yeah I just quit reading.

That said, refunding everyone's money would have restored my faith in as much as they realize that the product they put out is inferior, and not worth the price of admission. I realize they tried to concede with the free to play time and that is admirable, but if the game is not fun, and for many it is not based on my observations of population decline, then essentially those people who do not login and play the for free were robbed.

They could have beta tested it in a closed environment with a small group on a single server, and not dealt with the kind of feedback that is now available on the game.

As far as content and its importance to me, I thought I had been pretty clear on that. An MMO with no content isn't much fun, but an MMO with such major fundamental issues as this one isn't much fun either. I would love to see content that includes Zilart style missions, and so on, AFTER they fix the the core game issues. If the game was in a great place then I wouldn't care at all about events. No one is forcing me to do them. They could have all the events they wanted and I would never say a word. I am just frustrated with the fact that $$$ are being spent to build those vs. those $$$ going to fix core issues.
