Yes, we could have complained as it is our right as consumers of their BRAND, would anything have been done, who knows. But again, to me it speaks volumes on the attitudes between the different platforms. I own both, don't know if I would even get a helm on Droid if the situation were ever reversed again, but agree that Droid users have valid points and this is a forum - let those that just learned of the helm the opportunity to vent. Trust me, I don't want to see these threads because the divisiveness they caused turned me off to PL for a bit, but it's here, so I'm commenting.
It's not that particular comment of yours, it's all your whining about 5 armor. If us Apple users didn't spend the money we did on this game at the begining, it probably never wouldn't even be on Android. Nightarcher made a good point, I think you're forgetting that Android users were the only ones eligible to recieve the droid costume. In fact, I'm suprised somone hasn't complained about the awesomeness of the droid costume, and don't forget all the antennae and promotions that were related to the Android release.
Edit: You know what, it's not even 5 armor, it's 4 if you already use a vanity helm, easily obtainable for free.

When did I even whine about 5 armor, don't mistake others posts for mine, I could care a whit less about the armor, I PVP very little so it doesn't matter. The point that Les has been trying to make and many others is that vanity items should remain vanity items, I don't know if the Droid costume has any stats but I doubt it does. Again as far as money is concerned, android users have netted more income for PL than apple so the point is moot.
Oh, and I apologize for editing my post with an equally cruddy comment so I will re-edit again.
I have better things to do in my life then figuring out a puzzle from a forum for a phone game.
Edit:Ok, listen, I came off a little harsh there, but I'm sick of all these people moaning about 4 armor, and thats what it's about, read the first post again. People are still complaining after 2 months.

Just checked my stash and whoopie I got one.
Now, on a more serious note.
Is it really about the entitlement or is it the fact that the hat has stats on it? Which are two very different things to be complaining about.

Well said, and yes I agree, no one, including myself should generalize but the community has been divided in half since the founders helm came out, re-read the all the previous threads in relation to them. It was divided among the "haves and have-nots" which essentially is apple vs Droid, I should not have continued the correlation into this discussion. The divisiveness turned me off to PL when the argument started so I am just going to abstain from commenting further.
Well, I see the entitlement in this way.
The early players contributed a lot to the game. As a community, as testers, as a player base. PL started off small. So small we got rid of Fnord due to lack of players.
And now PL is successful, booming, with lots of new players coming in all the time.
And I think this "founder helm" is simply a way to say, thanks for supporting us.
Are we entitled to the founder's helm? No. We're not. Its not an entitlement. Its a gift from the devs. As simple as that.

well said
i dont see this thread going anywhere.. if the devs wanted to do somthing about it they would have done something by now..
ive been gone for a long time.. there plently of things ive missed out on.. droid antennas, costumes, buttons ... all the winter stuff.
doesnt matter how much i complain im not going to get any of those things. which is fair enough.
if someone uses the founder helm in pvp.. just kindly ask them to unequip it or pvp against some1 else if it bothers you that much >_>
I can't remember which pack it was early on just before plat store conversion. Maybe balefort....I just remember picking up an awesome green int weapon with my bird and there was no trading or stash so I had to respec to use it. Oh how I miss fnord
Physiologic would probably just point out that this is why he didn't PvP. In its current state, the founders helm is basically equal to a ring (which can be bought with plat). No biggie in PvE or level cap PvP, but at low level twinks ... as mentioned before, a pretty big deal.
+1
I should remind iOS users that it's entirely possible that PL could have launched on Android and evolved into the successful game that it is today, only to be later ported to iOS. Despite everything that's happened and the fact that both platforms have interacted for months, I still get the overwhelming perception that many iOS users have a feeling of superiority over Android users that seems entirely unjustified. Sometimes in games, when people ask what phone you have, I've noticed that the iOS and iPad users automatically treat you as inferior because you have an Android user.
