The decline begins... Square Enix, heed my call.

So you are suggesting ANYTHING rewards 100 philo, even a baby ifrit? You may want to rethink the balancing on that... For MVP credit this is planned, but 100 philos for facemelt easy content seems excessive and possibly even exploitable.

He does have a point in there being a need for a real tangible reward for helping lowbies through Duty Finder. Contrary to popular belief, even I get a little tired of being able to zoom through AK and WP with my eyes closed and still clear it. I could use some more variety and while some of the gear sets look enticing, I would probably feel more motivated to queue for low level dungeons if there was something. I wouldn't do 100 tomes (seeing that CM is where you get 100 tomes). Maybe 50 or so per run.

Some good suggestions OP. Someone on reddit put some charts together for before and after free period and the numbers have risen since payments started. Yea, no, not dying.

If a VPN fixes your connection issues then it's not your ISP or SE's fault. In the end everyone will connect to the same end-point. The issue depends on what is between your ISP and SE, all the other stupid companies that manage interconnections and aren't able to manage high traffic in 2013.

Sorry guys, I just find it absolutely hilarious that all the flame comments and disagreements are coming from Legacy players.

Like I said, these issues don't effect you people... it affects new players and fresh-servers only.

Is this decline happening just because you say so?

Its too bad you have to lead off your thread with such exaggerated nonsense. Why couldn't you just say: here's some ideas I have to make the game more enjoyable?

Normal progression of MMO's. Launch, huge surge, burn out and then leave.

Most people who are smart know to give an MMO 3-6 months to get a feeling of where it's going. That will be the true test. Patch 2.1 could put us on the right track, or leave us feeling unsatisfied. Some of the quick issues will already be resolved, like the DF and getting more rewards for using it. Otherwise, I've seen enough Doom posts to know they are only about 1/8 correct. Guess it doesn't phase me, I played SWTOR for a year and a half.

When your current subscription expires, you won't be able to talk in these forums.

So either join the bandwagon on the road to irrelevance, or give some ACTUALLY useful feedback, before your month is up.

My month is up. Has been up for like 10 days. Don't ask me why I'm stillable to post.
As or useful feedback, do you REALLY think pretending the positional delay is hunky dorey is helpful? Or is complaining about it and taking a stand helpful?
Hmmmmmmmmmm, there's a god damn brain teaser.
