The patience thing will never be a good argument considering we're now nearing two years of being patient. If anything, I'd say we're more patient than most MMO players out there.If I worked at SE and read most of these posts, I would be banging my head against a wall so hard. I mean REALLY people. I understand that kids these days are so caught up by instant gratification, and the need to be heard, but can we please learn some reading comprehension and a little bit of patience?
That makes it sound like the playerbase hasn't been rewarded for their "patience" yet. Yet let's take this into an actual account. Ok two years, actual payment didn't start until January 2012, so we've only been paying for these last 5 months(for those who have paid since payment started) up until that point this game was pretty much an f2p without a cash shop lol. Also take into account that your character isn't getting deleted upon 2.0 so that free time you got isn't lost, another perk for sticking with the game, so to do a quick overview let's see what patience has gotten us so far.
-Free online game til January 2012
-Legacy Campaign allowing said game to be at the same price we are paying for now along with a unique mount (total savings of 36-60 dollars a year. but since Legacy is giving us the main bonus then we should technically be saving 60 dollars a year)
So ya, patient for 2yrs, 1.5 of which was free and now we have an upcoming event which should give us a lot of interesting news. So ya saying to be patient for another week should be enough when it's alrdy been shown that our dedication and support is paying off lol.
It would have been downright outrageous to charge monthly fees (charging for the actual game was bad enough) for the unfinished mess this game was at release. Also, they had no choice but to let us keep our characters, or there would be no reason to play. I would hardly call these things rewards, more neccessities.
The Legacy campaign was a good move, though, but it works both ways since players who have been on the fence have to subscribe now if they want the Legacy status.
At the end of the day, no matter how you put it, we're still sitting here two years on with an unfinished game, more or less beta-testing it (and even paying money to do so). Yeah, I'd still say we're patient.
