Things I don't like about AL and things I think could be improved

[Mysticaleagle]

Before any negative replies or non constructive replies, I will simply describe you the point of this thread before starting:

This thread is NOT a rant, and NOT a complaint. It will simply describe and clarify every single little problems and things that are happening these days with the game and STS. And especially why I am pretty upset these days.

It may be long to read and long to understand before any replies, but it's been awhile that I needed to write about it and hope that something will be done.

It makes me relax and feel free after getting it out of me.

Yes, sure many will deny or reply hating posts, but that's not the end of the world (maybe). So, I will write each different points, and describe why, when, what for, who and everything about them. Enjoy the read, you may need a soda or some popcorns.

Point Number 1:

Platinum purchases, platinum refunds and platinum wastes.

It's been a few months that Locked Crates and many more platinum eating items have been released. Sure, they give some huge profit and revenue to the developers, but I find it pretty annoying to have 'gamble' packs in a game where like you guys say, most of the players are from 13 to 16 years old. Gambling is more of a Casino thing. Not in a friendly and young gamers game. But again, that's my point of view about this.

Also, many times players purchase elixirs, pets or items by accident because there is no confirmation buttons and one is strictly needed. I understand that this button is not implemented because it leads to more platinum revenue, but think about your players.

Point Number 2:

Luck system.

I understand the luck system in a game. I also understand that this game contains one. But I don't understand 'which' kind of luck system is in this game. Why, I will explain right now. You just need to read the few sentences below and you'll understand, or not.

A random player joins the game, opens 2 Crates and receives a arcane item. A random player opens 5 Crates and receives two arcane items.
A good and rich player farms everyday and always loots good items, and once he opens Crates he always receives good items like arcane or mythic. A good player that opens 500 Crates and farms for months and months to receive ZERO good items. A player that spends $1000 in Crates to receive ZERO good items.

Anyways, you get the point. Luck system? Hmm, don't think so. I personally spent 5000 platinums, months of farming and millions in gold to never get one single thing and I hear the same people opening a few every week to always receive good items. Something's wrong.
That being said, I finished on that point because it already makes me angry (no worries, no worries).


Point Number 3:

Considerations, communications and ignorance.

About that point, I am really serious. These days, there is many reported bugs, many suggestions and many constructive feedback that are being ignored or sometimes rejected in hurtful ways. Example, a bug I reported months ago didn't receive any attention and once I reported it again a bit more with anger, it has completely been rejected and ignored in a ''you're wrong'' way when we know I won't. Anyways, there is yes indeed a lot of communications with the developers on this forum, but not the kind of communication we're supposed to have.

Developers are right and I totally agree with them when they say ''we are always on forums to discuss, and if you look at other MMORPGs forums, it's not the case''. Yes, that's true. But since you developers are with us on forums, then play that role.

Considerations would be for huge platinum spenders. If something goes wrong with a purchase or a bug, I don't see why we get ignored.

Or the worse is your people. People that joined PL back in 2010 - 2011, that kept supporting you until now and will continue. Most of them get rejected or treated like a random new player. Yes, i'm one of them that feels like this. We've always been there to help STS. Always.

That being said, i'll stop on that point.


Point Number 4:

Arcane Legends.

I know you developers need platinum purchases, it's your role. But Arcane Legends is turning into a 99% platinum based game, and I know it has been mentioned many times. Talking about the consideration above, was more of a ''come on, look all I spent'' problem. Example, Locked Crates are the best example to show how Arcane Legends is platinum based. It pushes you to spend thousands of platinums to get an achievement to try and push you on the leader boards. Back on the consideration, players that wasted 1000's of platinums in opening crates to receive only junk should maybe receive a VIP chest? Joking, but show some love for the spenders. Honestly, i'm pretty upset about that.

Well, looks like i'm losing my memory and can't remember what I needed to write next so i'll stop there for now.

Guys, girls, developers, if you feel annoyed by something in there let me know and i'll edit. The purpose of this thread is absolutely not to complain or rant, it's to explain how I feel and maybe others can express how they feel also.

I wish to see some consideration, and some constructive words. I may have expressed myself wrongly somewhere but don't worry I have a big smile on my face writing this, because it takes out a huge block out of me.

Feel free to post, and have a nice day.


Sincerely,
