On Forked Tower Changes

[TeresaFortell]

Unfortunately the raging fire has been put out. This is only screwing over a smaller section of players now, so the complaints aren't going to be loud enough anymore. All we can do at this point is speak with our activity and avoid the content so we don't add to their clear numbers.

I think this is also affecting the larger playerbase who do not even want to partake in FTB. The main reason is that if one ignores FTB, there is no significant alternative incentive for any player to engage in OC. For example, say that you have completely maxed out all currently available phantom jobs, received your phantom weapons, and that you have also collected the notes, aside from those from FTB, if you do not want to do FTB at all, your only option for partaking in OC would be to loot treasure coffers. However, the loot in these coffers mainly consists of materials or items from previous field operations, which have effectively also destroyed their value on the market board. Thus, it is not enticing enough for you to loot these coffers other than wanting to upgrade your phantom armours.

All of the activities one undertakes in OC seem to point in the direction of doing FTB and discourage any alternatives.
