Not that I'm siding with ATA but give these some thought: a. - we told ATA we stay for the avatars - every hunt we don't get all the hunt avatars - if ATA is just money greedy they'd just sell those avatars directly instead of giving them away as prize for the hunt. They are still thinking of ways to make it "creative" and playable and any less boring i.e. the hunt - which we'd still do anyway despite the complaining. b. So instead of bickering and nonstop complaining why not lets help them and tell them what wed like or want to have. Which some of the players actually do with some of the forum hunt suggestions. BUT they were mostly ignored. -- just pointing that one out. c. You can't factor in the behavior of the community if you're controlling the factors (the parties, the hunts, the drops, even the calculation of payout) on how they'd behave in. BOOM! Well as I've said just throwing in some thoughts.
Uhm, they're not giving those avatars as prizes, most of them, we need to use cats in order to "win them as prize".
Lol we removed super pro party's because of a negative effect on lots of things we measure .... Just be honest n say it was JUST REVENUE if it was to make all equal you would have stopped cat party's long ago as not all can buy cats. Was all about the loss in revenue as more people doing super pro than cats.
I'm still not buying any ECs, DNs, or Cats. As a consumer its my right. Runniny an open platform game like this isnt easy. You guys take a lot of flack. But you also have to understand our point of view. Many of us have invested HUNDRED and some THOUSANDS of dollars on this game. If we bought a car and the manufacturer said, "hold on, you know those heat warmer seats, ya were taking those back. We changed our minds. Oh and that V8, yeah thats now a V6..." , as a consumer how would you feel? Slighted, jaded? You bet. The game play is boring. Its predictable and mundane. You don't encourage wars. Youve allowed noobs to throw money at cats and achieve high stats quickly. In short you may have refocused your efforts on new players but all the while you continue to alienate the foundation of your game-- your dedicated veteran players. I for one will be focusing my efforts on farming. Gday.
I would like to explain to ATA... i didn't stop buying cats because of Super Pros. I stopped buying because this hunt of ridiculously difficult. There was no way O was going to place in top 500 more than a few times without dropping mulitple cats each days. If thats the bar you've set for yourselves then you've set it too high and expected too much from us. You shot yourself in the foot and now youre are taking it out on us. Smh.
Everything on this game only benefits new players and ata pocket. No reason for most to play thats why we go inactive often
If y'all paid enough attention to PvP and quit focusing on the party aspect the game would be a,whole lot better and you would get most of the old players who quit to come back at the end of the day this game is unbalanced
You say your going to look into bringing the super pro items into something else...why would you remove content without something already in place to solve the issue....horrible business move
