This is just appalling

[eschaton]

Like I said; there's some really weird decision making going on!

Totally agree with OP, but you know what? 'Would probably let it be, if they weren't screwing over players from hour 01 (!!!!!!!). Weird server-moves, weird game-play changes, and YES this cash-shop is getting appalling as well!

What is really going on here? A new manager looking to maximize profit, while screwing most of us over? What???

A. The server move was announced in advance by several months. There was an entire post by Yoshida explaining his reasoning for this.

B. The "weird gameplay changes" have been spoken of by the dev team for several months, almost an entire year, in fact. Personally I don't fault them for holding their cards this close to the chest, people on these forums are downright unreasonable and will throw a fit over anything.

C. Cash shop has literally functioned like this the entire time, there's nothing new about it. The argument just starts all over again every. single. time. more items are added to it.

D. If there's a new manager "looking to maximize profit" there hasn't been any staffing changes of note announced by SE.

Y'all need to take a damn chill pill.

A) It's not about the announcement, but about screwing 1.0 legacy players over, aka the result.
B) Again it ain't about talking about stuff or doing presentations on idea's, it is about what actually has been done. The result.
C) What? You didn't even play at the start it seems. Wauw.
D) So, if this isn’t about maximizing profits (even the game-play changes; ooh... you need a new xclass for the abilities, how about a boost potion?) .. what would it be about? Our comfort?

You need to think a little tiny bit before posting straw man arguments.

A. How did the NA server relocation screw over legacy players? O.o First time I've heard this one.
C. Why does it matter how long someone has played the game. Just because you've played the game longer than someone who started in 3.0 doesn't mean anything. You get to pay a cheaper subscription price, if you're a legacy player, and you have some legacy player shinies. But that doesn't necessarily mean that you know more than newer or non-legacy players.
D. I can understand the dislike for Jump Potions, but for the majority of players, cross-role is going to be immensely easier than the cross-class system. I don't need to level up ___ job to get ___ skill for my main job's ____ rotation. Those are all included in the role skills as you level up the one job the role encompasses.
