Most of the players who were really nice got terrible treatment and eventually quit posting. I remember a player, I won't mention his ign, he used to make jokes about cake, anyway to cut a long story short, he got some terrible and I mean terrible replies.
Some players were harassed and bullied for the slightest thing. I was privately messaged a few times for sticking up for a few players on here and I can't say what I was called. Of course I deleted them immediately.
It does wear you down though and Cinco and Asommers have had to put up with a lot of provocation, in fact all the team have.
I did notice a change in the way the team replied or didn't reply to threads so now it's about us and them when it was about a family type of community.
It should never have been allowed to go on, the needless toxicity by players. It's getting worse ingame too. There are still nice people there but more not so nice are appearing.
Now between the developers and players, it's six of one and half a dozen of the other. No proper communication anymore.
I'm sorry to say this Cinco but you do sometimes come across as if you don't care about the game and customers anymore and yes, it does seem like it has become a more pay to play game this past year.
I wish there could be some kind of compromise and better communication. It's best to get everything out in the open for instance and show more clarity. The decisions that have been made recently have not been received favourably by most everyone who plays now and it shows ingame.
More people will start breaking rules if they haven't already while people like me, who supported this game financially have cut back. I only purchase half the amount of platinum than what I used to and that's only when a sale is on.
The items I used to buy are way to expensive now. Houses for instance and having the same price for each location is quite unfair. Some locations aren't worth 300 plat. Notice I don't mention slots?
I know people will say, "it's to cut inflation" but really it's cutting away at the player base. Like I have intimated, clarity and communication is needed.
I'm just giving my point of view and I know it most likely will get ignored or even taken down.
Regards to all who had the patience to read through my ramblings. Have a good day in real life as well as ingame.
