Compensation for the early Sub fee

^^this. Ive noticed that it is the staunchest of supporters of this game that do the most damage to the community. The angry mob you all have become is akin to the witch trials. Just a big angry mob putting down anyone they dont agree with. The most hurtful and trollish comments have come from this lot. He who fights trolls should see to it that he himself does not become one...

Some of you people obviously don't even know what trolling is. Gifthorse was a troll. A few of you calling "troll" are just upset people don't agree with you. The idea of having a camera set up in their office where we watch them all day seems a tad bit absurd. It is invading their privacy. Yoshi-P is already doing live letters and many people really appreciate that as it is, I don't know of any other MMO that does this.

I think all that they are doing and have done is a good enough reason to start charging.

Need more ridiculous opinions by people who claim to be game developers and or studying to be, cause they are entertaining to read. It truly is amazing to see all these absurd ideas that the posters think will be the savior to the fate of this game.

what do you believe the fate of the game will be? i personally think any PR SE gives to fans can only help after such a bad launch.

This went downhill fast :/

Maybe just have something along the lines of anniversary presents, if you stay subscribed you get a present for being a long time player!

or not, I dont really care, I am just playing and will be paying because I enjoy my time well playing.

This thread went to derp after the first 3 pages...it's ridiculous. 98% of all forums posts are antagonistic by nature now and not the least bit constructive.

That is one weirdo creeptastic suggestion. Just saying. I'd love exclusive items or somesuch for sticking around...but watching the dev team work......noooo thanks

first off my opinion on this thread is that i don't think cameras would be a good idea, but veteran vanity items would be fantastic, so I'll stop you right there so you don't jam words in my mouth. I was commenting on how rude and hurtful a lot of you come off when you are speaking to someone. Sure you may not agree with the op but did she need to be berated? I think not. My point is a lot of people are slowly becoming trollish in their attitudes on this board and it is unnerving. This community gets absolutely vitriolic on both sides of the fence and it is very disappointing.

It's sad when someone who doesnt visit these boards much can look at both sides of most of these arguments and see trolls on both. I think instead of scaring people away we should try to foster a community we can be proud of, cause honestly these boards are poisonous, and it is even starting to spill over in to the game. We need to try and foster a good community here so it does not infect the rest of the game community.

The logical more sensible (in comparrison to spy cameras) of vanity item(s) would be more realistic though if push comes to shove I guess the whole "you was there before we changed it so you experienced the beta version" is ok too. Honestly I'm not too bothered either way. But the camera idea just made me laugh it's silly.

If we're discussing absurd ideas, why stop there?

How about for an extra $5/month, you'd get access to a virtual flogger so you can watch yourself remotely whip the developers. For $10/month extra, shock therapy!

Or, maybe we should focus on making the game more accessible, not giving in to fanatic insanity.

Chill out.

I never said you were for or against it. I simply stated that you can't tell the difference between a real troll and someone with a different opinion than you. As far as the bit on the dev cam goes, I was simply stating my stance on a portion of the OP.
