You mean to say if we were at 2.0 already people would magically have money to pay for the game?.

Hardly, what I am saying is that if the game was at 2.0 a lot more people would be inclined to pay for it. The game that is coming out with patch 2.0 is a completely different game than the one we see today.

If SE can be trusted then that means that most of the core issues plaguing the game would have been resolved and we would have finally moved out of Beta and into some actual bloody content.

That is why more people would be willing to rework their budgets, for example, to be able to continue to play the game. At that point in time the game will offer an actually fun experience. Not only that but SE would have restored more faith into the player base, faith that they themselves destroyed by coming out with beyond sub par work and expecting their fans/players/customers to take it up the behind.

Besides, in today's global economy every cent matters. SE needs to be more sensitive to their customers, especially if they want them to spend their hard earned money on their product. Sadly, it doesn't leave much room for error on their part.

That being said, I understand that that SE needs money to make this game work I just don't think they have the right to ask their players to pay for such an incomplete game, especially if they're not even going to offer a discount.

This is very true, and the crux of the matter. Throughout the past year, during which we have been unpaid beta testers and had months of grinding undone at the whim of SE not once, not twice, but several times in several ways, the one thing we could use to comfort ourselves was the fact that at least they didn't have the AUDACITY to be charging us for the honor of being abused as players. Now, in the midst of changes assured to change the entire scope of the game literally from the ground up, from character creation to IU to the servers to the maps...literally EVERY SINGLE THING we spend our time on in true Korean F2P Grinder fashion...SE lauds our loyalty, gives us a pat on the back with one hand and reaches into our wallets with the other!

Some of us wascally wabbits with previous experience with SE may be a little less trusting than others and may decide to wait out this transitional process in the "safe" corner and let the more eager experimental bunnies get shocked repeatedly until the maze gets worked out to everyone's satisfaction.

That doesn't make us bad bunnies.
