Difficulty format for Normal and Savage will remain in 4.0

[zosia]

And those same players will come back when 4.0 launches. You cannot compare arguably WoW's biggest expansion in years, at least in terms of noteworthy progression, to a patch cycle. Midcore and casuals aren't "running" either. We've seen fairly standard drop off rates for a game undergoing a content drought whilst other major titles have been released.

You are ASSUMING they will come back, I am not so convinced. This game is not wow, It does not have the same pull to bring back large chucks of previously disappointed and disenfranchised players.

You keep them by dedicating resources to content they like, Incidentally, that means the devs should strongly consider abandoning hardcore raiding entirely because it just isn't drawing enough interest. Sure, rewards could be better, though I still feel a bigger issue is they've missed the mark on more than a few occasions this year. (Looking at you Verminion and Diadem.) Raiders still have their individual achievements stamped on when they earned them. Granted, it isn't much of a reward, hence this could use a restructure, but it is there. Personally, I would like to see EX Primals and Savage synced, so you could never overgear it.

You think that abandoning raiding could save this game? Have you heard of Lord of the Rings Online? They did exactly what you are suggesting and it killed their game. I HOPE Yoshida takes on your suggestion, it would only make what I want happen faster.

In any case, you'll be disappointed because won't ever go F2P nor will it crumble. At least not in the sense of "shutting down."

We will see I grow ever more gleeful with every census, with every bit of bad news, with every "I am quitting thread"

I think you misplace your confidence with this dev team, They keep missing the mark, again and again and again and again. I literally feel like comcast guy from southpark, lol. I mean, if I am wrong, so be it, at least the raid team I leave behind will have a game to enjoy. If I am right, I get to see a game go up in flames while being vindicated. I don't really have much to lose here, heh.

Final Fantasy itself is a big name, but yes, I am assuming. We shall see how it all plays out.

"Hardcore" raiding. You omitted a key detail there. One could argue focusing entirely on developing a midcore-- both in scaling down Savage slightly, adding more Primals equivalents or even using the saved resources to make harder dungeons would be better than focusing on content only 5-10% of people actually do.

Suppose so. Kind of sad you care that much about a game though. I can only speak for myself, but when I lose interest, I just... move on. Why wish other people's enjoyment ruined because you no longer find any?

Schadenfreude and I love being right. It's petty, but I don't care, especially when I am out and about and I have nothing better to do. I would say easily 65% of my replies on these forums are while I am either being driven from point A to point B by my hubby, or I am waiting somewhere on someone or something.

I am getting my $15 a month of entertainment, it's just not from logging into the game, heh.

Be careful



And sub was still active, I was just forced to log in into the game to use forums.

You misunderstand, Just because I am being entertained does not mean I am trolling as well. I simply state my beliefs in what would make this game better. Who doesn't like to argue? It's fun! Also, your image is not working.

The image is how she can't post in the forums because she didn't log into the game for 14 days.

Thanks for the heads up.
