Ah, so ever-declining subscriptions mean a "healthy" MMORPG.

*laughs out loud* I think this is the only business I have ever heard of where less money/decreased interest in the target customer is tied to a perceived positive outcome. This is a most interesting point of view.

A CRAZY p.o.v., true. But interesting too. Lawl!

Here's my take, which no doubt will induce more flaming rants: if it gives less xp than comparable groups, or the risk/reward/blue bar ratio is too extremely borked, I will avoid that enemy group - much as I avoid CoT solo now. If you love "getting paid" less for doing the same job, you keep right on doing it. Me.... I'll go do something else for a decent "wage." Everybody happy.

.... You know what I find truly idiotic, is all this dramatic namecalling and ad-homineming over the mere idea of someone having a different opinion than your own - and who was not even addressing you, to boot.

Its not changing any minds, but go on with your bad self.

Well, I'm sorry that you insist on being so out of touch with the industry or even, it seems, business in general that it seems wild and crazy to you. You really are completely out of your league on this one!

If it bothers you so much, don't be a hypocrite and do the same exact thing. Great job on ignoring the general trend of the discussion and re-derailing the whole thing while you're at it. After this post I will not be contributing to the problem, so enjoy the last word!

Had you come into this thread stating any of the following:
1: I think the XP nerf goes overboard. Yes, they're easy, but this is too much.
2: They deserved no nerf at all. They get dull pain and a self-res.
3: Yup, they're a cakewalk, they deserve the nerf.

THEN you'd be sharing an on-topic opinion.

But you don't do that. You never have. You've always been the ridiculous waste of space doomcrier that you're being in this thread.

Do you speak on the topic at hand? Oh, no, you come in torches burning, screaming at all the nonbelievers, "NERFS ARE KILLING THE GAME!!! THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN KILLING THE GAME!!!! DOOOOM!!!!"

And yet there's still over 100000 people playing. Just like last time.

Damn, Bill. That was a remarkably harsh, heavy handed, and - might I add - spot-on assessment. I'm jealous.

Technically, he can only be behind one of us - the rest of the Lord Nemesis standing behind everyone else must be fake ones.

I'm sure I'll steal this one at some point in the future.

It'd be great if someone reminds me to pay Bill royalties when the inevitable happens.
