OMG 1.19 has broken the game

[PrettyPrincess]

This is something a lot of people never understand. A company cannot please everyone. It is just not possible because there are people who will ALWAYS find something wrong. So a few people complain about something that is broken, or they think exp is too fast or too slow, game is too hard too easy etc big deal. It happens. Everyone else is busy enjoying the game, as they should be. I also think it's stupid how certain individuals think THEIR opinion is the voice of everyone, when it is not. I dont know why people have to be so unhappy :x

you forgot to add the troll others stage. that's the stage where you troll others that are unhappy with changes. if they do not like something it's their business. if you disagree with them you could always point out ways in which it helps instead of flaming their stance with some kind of half baked psychobable.

i agree that the patch is here and people should try it out completely before going ballistic, but if they complain about something they do not like then we should show things we have done, using that exact new change, and how it has improved the game.

Lol amen to this. Thanks for actually posting some sense in here.

That's what I did.

It's just normal to be frustrated after changes. But some people will begin exploring the new opportunities faster than others (last paragraph of the OP). These people stuck in the angry phase need support and answers, which I can't provide, but comprehension and an external point of view can help.

You seem better at flaming than me.

I haven't seen the curve before, but I do see the pattern. Part 1 is when they release the notes, and people haven't even tried it out yet, saying it won't work etc...

We are in phase 2 now... (some of us in 3 and later)

Thanks for the info.

Bumping the goold old change curve ... some things never change !

[Seth_Ahriman]

It's a handful of anger threads, because those who enjoy it are busy playing the game. So that means thousands are playing, while a couple are complaining. I'm having fun and enjoy the new patch.

not entirely true since most people quit in the first month.

Haha! SE should sticky this as a constant reminder. I have a feeling it will be quiet useful between now and 2.0

[Irondude]

Except those few who skip straight to the quitting phase.

let them quit, they are the part of the community who still think September 2010 was a successful launch and there is nothing wrong with the game. Denial -> Anger

[MeowyWowie]

I think you may be mistaken. The people who complained about something in the past don't necessarily accept whatever the change was. Many have just given up on voicing their opionin because they know their words are falling on deaf ears.

There are still many things that I disliked about previous patches, and I still dislike them. But why bother complaining? It's not going to change anything.

Giving up =/= acceptance
