Couldn't have said it better. BE THANKFUL?
They were SWAMPED with negative feedback on beta. And not just with feedback like 'this sucks' but with detailed, well reasoned, well argumented feedback. And with possible changes, adaptation and alternatives to make it work.
Yet they didn't even consider taking a bit more time before ramming it down the throats of everyone on the liveservers. They easily could have waited with that update for another couple of weeks and collected more feedback from beta, taken a look at the arguments given and come up with an adaptation.
But no, they had to force this on their players, but now that they notice players quitting (duh, we told them in the feedback on beta that would not just be likely, but a fact) and and getting a lot of negative feedback, negative reviews and negative word-of-mouth they give a reduction of spellfrags in cost, which does nothing to actually solve the problem they had wanted to solve in the first place and they expect us to be grateful?
That just adds insult to injury, kinda like raising the cost for the royal pass for the new event, after already screwing players over with this incredibly bad change.
@Astram ; nothing against you personally, but if you can you really should pass on to devs and management that continuing to basically insult and piss off your playerbase generally is not a good way to make money. And just might chase more players away.
I mean, don't get me wrong, but that kind of attitude in any store would have me dump the products at the counter, walk out and never return to that store, or even that chain of stores, ever again.
@AussieChick
I feel your pain. I have disenchanted stuff for about 500.000 frags. After I already used about a million frags for upgrades. Even though for me it's not a problem, a lot of players are hurting.
