Are Devs Lazy?

[Fusionstrike]

Whether you agree with the OP's sentiment or not, he's entitled to his opinion. All these people saying nobody should complain because "hey, they could have done nothing at all" are being ridiculous. STS put out content, and players have a right to voice their opinions about it. The new content should be compared to the rest of the game's content regardless of how low the bar of expectation has sunk due to the game's long drought of development.

Compared to the rest of the game, this expansion is very lacking in originality. Nobody could seriously argue it's of the caliber of most of the other content in the game. So in that respect, yes, it's not particularly exciting and certainly not up to what STS has shown it is capable of. But it's wrong to characterize it as "laziness", which is an unfair criticism. It's more like the budget for PL has been reduced dramatically, so they did what they could in the time frame they were allotted. A better way to put it would be that you're disappointed that PL is no longer provided the budget it deserves to put out top-notch content like it once did.

We saw we weren't going to get all new content so we lowered our expectations an asked for reused content and got it. Thanks stg for something else to do.

They can't devote time into a complete 5-level expansion because it isn't smart marketing. We suggested that instead of an all in expansion, we would appreciate a "mini" expansion.

Be greatful for what you got, we're pretty lucky they even considered doing a mini expansion.

I for one am not grateful. They could've done a better job.

Of course they can, but is that a smart financial move? This isn't a hobby that the developers do, they make money off of this. It's not like they can dedicate themselves to something that isn't profitable.

They could be thinking more about the people who pay them and not whether its a "smart financial move" or not.

Everyone is talking about smart or not smart financial moves, but nobody is saying the truth, being that the many players buying plats in 2k or more deserve something better than a 100% recycle. I mean come on now, they didnt even take the time to design the sets with new graphic, yet you guys are surprised that people is just quitting when they see a 300k req.

As Samhayne said, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. People feel that they would buy 2k plat for the new expansion, because in their opinion it is worth the money.

How do you think gaming developers get their money? They spruce up interest in a game, causing more people to devote money and time into the game. It's all about that, and to some people the expansion is a blast.

[Trollish]

Get what you get and don't throw a fit.

And the PL players who pay them aren't many. This is a very small game compared to AL, so they invest more into AL because of "all the people who pay them".

You people are all brainwashed. All of you.

Hey guys,

This thread is not constructive. I am going to go ahead and lock it down.

Yeah, I genuinely like Cinco's music/voice. Don't think he's ever posted about it on forums though.
