Reviews Should all be 0-1

[skyfox]

SE -

No matter how well the game may have been made, the review should rate this game below 2 Tops.

It is actually unplayable to a significant portion of your playerbase - any adult that has a job can hardly get a couple hours in before primetime.

As a fellow Software Business Leader I implore you to come clean with your community. If you are having trouble finding someone who can provide Server Hardware or hosting space you can reach out to me (seriously).

You are deceiving your player base and I for one am sick of it. I literally have everything you need and it's one DM away.

We can make the Sale in under 24 hours.

Yep, SE got all the money they wanted without considering how much space they have. If they really concerned about uses before money, they should've set the limit on the new subscribers.

1) Absolute godawful take.

2) They supposed to suspend the free trial, too?

SE are not being dishonest, it's an industry problem. As referenced here, here and here.

The quoted lead time is 52 to 70 weeks. So I find their claim incredibly plausible and they've given me no reason to think they're lying. They've always added servers when they've needed them before, IIRC the last was in 2019, not long before the semi-conductor shortage started being a thing...and this is the only thing about the situation that's changed here...plus COVID, restrictions are a thing.

If you can get the servers these businesses need, why aren't you reaching out to them? Mate, they're willing to pay a premium above what they would normally pay, you could make good bank.

Either you're talking out of your butt or you have servers but not any that meet their specifications and requirements.

And then you add this line "they'd not accept them because they're liars", I'm calling BS here. Your first post is literally you imploring them to contact you to make a sale...whilst insulting them and calling them liars, great business professionalism by the way, calling potential customers liars...despite you know, an industry-wide problem.

So if you REALLY do have what they need to the specification and requirements they need and given their willingness to pay more than they need to...why the hell wouldn't you try contacting them first before making a thread about it insulting them?

Go ahead and rate it a 0-1. It's not gonna persuade the people that like the game to quit. The problems going on are because the game is good and a lot of ppl want to play.

"I give this game 1 stars out of 5 because there are so many people playing it that i struggle to get into the servers. Definitely a bad game, do not play"

Most people read positive and negative reviews. Often its the negative reviews that pique my interest in a game. When the negative review for an MMO is "It has an absurdly massive population to the point the servers are buckling", thats a pretty good indication that the game is worth playing, So the OP is just making things worse unless he tries to lie about the quality of the game itself lol

We've told them this over a thousand times.

Those like TC are choosing to be intentionally ignorant and arguing in bad faith. They don't care about what's True, they just want to be "right".

And then you people would be crying that you couldn't buy the expansion. There is no way to win with people like you and your really useless "solutions".

I highly doubt that the leader of a software business would act this childish on a gaming forum... Look I get you're upset you haven't been able to play when you want, but part of being an adult is realizing that hey, playtime isn't as available and sporadic as it was before.

Oh, and before you use the "I paid money, I deserve a working product" line, no one is forcing you to stay subscribed. If you can't login because of queues, why would you keep spending your money on something you can't/don't use?

To be fair they did this at the launch of 2.0 because the login issues lasted I want to say around two weeks or a month. They suspended digital sales of the game until the game was playable, but this issue isn't the same, but they have done it. Just an FYI.
