Stop giving out presents with different hues. This cult around "special colored" items and those nerdy "hue number experts" are simply annoying...
Stop shard shields and shard transfers for now and forever. Worst invention to the game ever. Destroyed almost all shards.
Remove vendor fees completely.
Delete all Mesanna-named items. Another nerdy and ridiculous cult.
Let the EMs offer more events with riddles and quests and let players bring in more skills than just "All kill" and Multiboxing... Most EM events are horribly stupid and attract idiots like **** attracts flies....
Alas, so many more things to do. And what does this community get? Giftboxes with exotic hues and other nerd-stuff...
Respectfully disagree with:
A> about the shard shields..since:
=They provide a way for people in low-pop shards to get items from other shards, that would otherwise be IMPOSSIBLE, and would cause much more frustration in the regular shards.
=Provide an easy way to see what other shards have to offer from a lot more perspectives, without starting a newby character.
=Provide one more incentive/reward for people to stay in the game to eventually be able to get these.
=The shields are not what destroyed the shards? People have just left the game. They did not all move to Atl or Sonoma etc. The game has lower pop, but not due to the shields.
=Removing the shields is like an insult to 14 year vets, that are looking forward to getting them.
=Maybe they can remove PKing (Not PvP) if they are really itchy to remove something? Now THAT may help the game! But this is a can of worms to open, every time.
=There is no clear cut evidence that shard shields have harmed the game. Actually, they may be helping the game. Did you try to get some items on low pop shards? Either they cost a gozillion uo gold due to monopoly, example some PS, or you absolutely will not find the items you need.
=I know it has been touted before that they damage the game, but no evidence presented, or any hint of it.
=Also not everyone in the game is in Siege that does not allow xfers.
B> Not much wrong about items with name Mesana on them. They provide another gold redistribution.
C> EM events : A single unique way for new players to get some gold, and gold re-distribution fro the very rich to the very poor in game. One way to bring community together in a single attended event.
Agree with:
A> Actively pursuing and removing multiboxing from the game. It may be possible that it can be done, but will need responsiveness from both players and also EM/Dev teams. Hard to believe that the multiboxing is so profound and so prevalent that we need to stop EM events.
