I don't post much on the forums but have been around a day or two The community is definitely a wreck and the lines have been drawn between those that support the Devs and those that want their eyeballs ripped out. Will this get any better? One can only hope.

I've been playing this game for over 5 years. I've leveled numerous toons through pure content. I've exclusively power leveled toons to try new ATs. I've deleted 50s that were PL'd. The Devs deleted 50’s that were PL’d. I've deleted 50s that were not. Regardless whether it was 5 years ago or today, my play style hasn't changed much.

Yes there are still some fun things to do in the game. Shard Task Forces, random PUG teams but above all else, it’s the community that makes me love City of Heroes. There are people here who I have known since my first level 50, Empress Ra, was level 1 back in 2004. Sadly, many of them are letting their subscriptions run out. Many of these people weren’t even affected by the hammer thrown down by the Devs. So why are they leaving?

You cannot treat your customer base in this manner and expect this game to survive. Especially with so many new MMO’s knocking on the door. Sadly, they probably won’t even realize a lot left until their accounting department notices a drastic drop off in subscriptions. Something must be done. Too many good people have left over the years. Lets not lose more.

The silence is deafening.

Just thought I'd throw in as part of the customer base I don't feel ANY of that. I don't feel treated like garbage. I don't play with anyone that does... I haven't been hurt, maligned, dis'd or anything else by any changes or anything Posi's said or done.

People leave all the time. A few forumites isn't even a stastic.

Next time they will come after you...

I sincerely doubt it, but if they did I'd know it was coming.

Also I'll state without backing it up with ANY facts most of the old MMO's have taken similar just as harsh stances and punishments. Several of them also happen to still be around.

UO, Everquest, just to name the two that leap to mind. Even WoW I beleive.

Also, I'll just say we get new players all the time and leave it at that.

Everyone has the right to their opinion and all. But the difference between people that simply chose not to agree and trolls, are the ones that hit their back button instead of Reply.

Merm, you're a good person, and you got screwed by this, but not everyone who disagrees is a troll. No need to call names.

Actually I called him a troll if you look at his post history you will see why i did so.

Thanks LHF.

Hope this doesn't get mod smacked, 'cause the title has a nice ring to it. I'm not going to rant, rave, troll or flame on this thread, as it's obvious that I've already had my say. I'm just going to enjoy reading all of your opinions.

Thank you Justice

I doubt you'd be followed for any reason, unless its by stray cats attracted by the smell of fish.

This didn't make much sense, as an insult, but it made me laugh.

I guess the metaphor is lost on you.

NP, I'll elaborate. Philly is a well known and liked (mostly?) by everyone on both the Justice Forums and on the server. The idea of her "following" you to the thread (in her "home") is a stretch and frankly, a little insulting.

Does that clear it up?

Normally I don't butt in to these types of forum debates but Philly is a good person who has contributed much to the Justice server and deserves respect. Can the same be said of you?

Um, your opinion is noted and dismissed. I didn't start this, she did. I have exactly ($15 a month worth) as much right to be here and post my opinion as she does. Exactly.
