• • The Patch 2.0 AoC poll!!

  •  Patch still don't change the fact AOC is age of Instances. It feels like you're playing in a little box for each zone. This choice of design so it could be done on the Xbox360 really takes away from the game as a MMO. No patch will fix Age of instances.

    You have to realise that WAR being a huge game, it's going to attract 'alot' of gold sellers, especially being a PVP focused game and the competition is more hardcore then traditional MMO's.

    Mythic seem to be working their butt off banning gold seller accounts and finding ways to ease the pain by offering temporary solutions while they work on a long term solution no doubt, as do most MMO's which have issues with gold sellers.

    
     

    You miss the important issue. The spammers are somehow bypassing game mechanics. They bypass ignore lists and you can not even submit a ticket to report them. I tried to report 4 of the spammers this morning and the ticket was rejected saying those names do not exist. I got that message right as one of the names that "does not exist" was spamming me. I have never seen that in any other game with gold spammers. Now do you understand? I do realize WAR is a huge game I also understand the work that a developer needs to do to fight gold spammers however the situation in WAR is different. You are not responding to an mmo newbie I have been through dozens of launches over the last 10 years! Mythic does not seem to be working their butts off. If that was the case it would slowly be getting better. My experience is it is getting worst.

    
     

    If you've been an MMO gamer for over 10 years, you should be well aware of the gold selling problems in ALL mmo's.  WAR is certainly not the first and will not be the last.  Every game I've played in the MMO genre has always had problems with gold sellers. WAR is no different.

    I reported 3 gold spammers this morning with no problems whatsoever. 

     

    
     

    Good for you, all 4 I tried to report it said they did not exists that is a fact. Every response has ignored the fact that somehow the spammers are tricking the game to think they do not exist or if they are on ignore they can still send you tells. Ummm Yes I have been in mmos for 10 years. I also noted that I understand that gold selling is in all mmos but nothing like what I have experienced in WAR. WAR is different, it is far worst!

    So don't come here and suggest I do not understand launches and gold spamming or that somehow I am not reporting them right. Did not want to do this but I think I need to. MMOs I have been in at launch, UO, EQ, AC, AC2, D&DO, SWG, DaoC, Horizons, WoW, EQ2, LoTRO, FFXI, Silkroads, Guild Wars, Saga of Ryzom, Tabula Rasa, Hellgate London, Planetside, Vanguard, RF Online, CoH/CoV, Archlord, AoC, and few others. In my experience WAR has been by far the worst for gold spamming and I have seen no progress in the area of fixing it. I never said they were not trying I said it has not gotten better and because it is so relentless it has now effect my enjoyment of the game. I can ignore a few /tells but to get them every few minutes I have never experienced that in any other mmo and I truely doubt you have either.  I am not a WAR hater I love the game and defend it. however I can not defend this apparent lack of success by Mythic in this area and yes if it continues at this level it is a game breaker.

    Their so called trick to hide their name is they simply delete the character and create a new one to spam with. Their so called /ignore hack you claim they have is nothing more than a log out and back in, since all /ignores are not final and only last until you or they log out. You're a little over paranoid and not thinking straight.

    I really like WAR, I guess that means that I'am not a "TRUE PLAYER", damn it.

     

     

      I really enjoy WAR too. I guess I'm not a "TRUE PLAYER" either. Though I am deeply offended by your sig. As a greenskin I must protest at your remark to kill us all.

• • Stick a fork in it, it's done.

  • and to think you wrote this in another thread you created titled, "Why are we so hard on MMO's?", and then you carried on to write.

     

    "The question is a simple one;

    Why do we give our chosen genre such a hard time with regards to 'revolutionary' development?

    I mean... racer after racer gets developed, which to be honest dosent really amount to more then a skin job plus a gimmick or two, and released, but racer fans don't bellow and cry like MMORPG fans do do they? Noone says "Arggh! Yet another racer set in the modern day!! With Cars!!"

    FPS after FPS gets developed, which to be honest dosent really amount to more then a skin job plus a gimmick or two, and released, but FPS fans don't bellow and cry like MMORPG fans do do they? Noone seems to complain about another FPS game that is 85% identical to the all others under it's hood.

    Why is it essential for every MMORPG to be 'revolutionary' or be declared a 'epic fail' again and again? Why isnt an evolutionary build up in the genre enough?

    It can't be boredom can it? After all, people have been playing identikit racers, shooters etc for far longer then we have had 'true' MMORPGs..?

    Is it the games or the gamers that have the issues here? Are we just so burnt out and jaded that all we know is that we want something 'different', even if we don't know what that 'different' is? Or is the very MMORPG model the problem to most? Is it just not very good once you take out the social heart (as most modern games seem to be driven towards doing)?

    Why are we so intolerant of the very gaming model that, after all, created this industry?"
