Is Cryptic and NCSoft just getting Lazy?

And playing D&D doesn't make one lazy. Actually enjoying leisure time has been shown to increase productivity.

Oh my God...

Something more dangerous to the ability to live than the superdickery.com Jimmy Olsen Drinking game!

So much wrong with this.

A.) Giving people the option to make their own stories in game, isn't lazy. The developers aren't putting AE in so they can stop making new missions, they gave us yet another tool to customize their game experience.

B.) If you are farming in AE, then you are farming inefficiently, I'm sorry but from my experience, Boss farms go too slow and it's faster to farm regular old missions everyone used to farm to get XP. (Though admittedly that would take more effort.)

C.) If you don't want to Farm\PL in AE, you don't have to, stop acting like it's the only option, that brings me to

D.) I haven't used AE since the second week of it's release. Since then I have had no trouble at all finding teams to run TFs, Trials, Respecs, regular missions, old fashioned farm missions. I continue to level my characters outside of AE and even in the middle of the night when it's really slow, I have been able to form full teams for late night missions. If you honestly can't find anyone to play with outside AE, you aren't trying... Like, at all...


So it's okay for you to rant and rave and blah blah blah but it's not okay for other people to be insulted? Is it freedom of speech or isn't it?

And so what if it is the internet, does that mean you can't be polite, make a logical argument based on facts or allow other people to have their own opinions? I mean, is it really a rule now that if you post on the Interwebz you have to be a jerk?

Also, it's not really Freedom of Speech. This isn't the American government that is constitutionally obligated to let you say what you want, these are privately owned forums and your speech can be limited by the company and it's employees who run the boards.

Honestly, the way you posted that blurb at the end, I think you were just out to tick people off. However given that you don't seem to have a grasp of many of the facts of the matter, (Not only the ones I posted here but all the stuff others have pointed out as well. Hell it's going on 2 years since NCSoft bought this game from Cryptic.) I don't think anyone is going to be very offended, they will probably just roll their eyes and point out how wrong you are in all of the facts you brought up, and how ill informed your opinions are.

I wasn't being totally serious

Yes you were dont you know the internetz is srs bsns

Pie

You say 'now' as if it's new.

Pretty sure that the neccesity of jerks to keep teh intawebz running with clean tubes was first mandated in the December 1974 RFC 675.

But sadly, due to the lack of tech know-how of many jerks, it wasn't until Berners-Lee popped the web on top of the internet that sufficient number of jerks could easily gain access to teh intawebz.

Having too few jerks for the best part of 20 years meant that many of teh webz tubes were clogged up or blocked entirely and many are still being slowly cleaned. It's estimated that by 2020 there'll be enough jerks that the tubes are all clean and lag is eradicated.

The web can't run without jerks.

Wow, so much has already been said about the OP's rant and well there is no need to address just how out of touch and incorrect it all was.

Not much more to add except perhaps this to his parting comments.
