Were "QQing"

Real fucking mature and professional, well thought etc...
I said my few words about this a few weeks ago and just left the server. 48 on blue now, with groups almost every day. I am a bit sad it's not red, but i just wont solo grind my way to 51+ without the bonus.

Then dont barge in a discussion if all you have to contribute is "Keep QQing and we might make it even worse"?

(Talking about zade)

Sure you dont have any news to add, but minimal respect would be to not deride and troll people who see the server deteriorating week after week
Lol what are you doing. Don't chase them away!

If something during the development process happened where we could not give you what we had previously mentioned, people would explode. Nothing is set in stone until it goes live, and even then it changes. The bottom line is that the staff is trying to create the best possible server. We listen to people's opinions when they are presented correctly and via the appropriate venues, and not in a rant filled tangent of a post in a public forum. I have gone out of my way dozens of times asking players for their point of views on particular subjects and have used those opinions to make changes to systems put in place.
I understand the mentality of not wanting to over commit but it is too late for that already. You made a change to the server and everyone was having a good time. You took out the exp bonus and then said don't worry a fix is coming that is big for the server. If you wanted to be vague then you have the fix implemented at the same time the exp is taken out. So for the duration of these changes you don't have the luxury of being vague and keeping people happy.

Not wanting to over commit is a lesson you can take going forward but that ship has sailed this time around.

The mentality right now is I don't want to have to level on a low population no group server when everyone else got an easier ride. I can just wait and big things are coming soon. Every week that goes by with nothing some people lose interest.

Even if no change was coming at least a response acknowledging this would put people to a decision to either stick with the server or not instead of this limbo stage people like myself are in. The people that don't have interest will leave anyways but you end up losing additional players that intended to stick around.

But whats soon, you told us it was coming soon a month ago.

Not that you owe us a response, but are we talking about more 4 months or 3 weeks. Not because you owe it to us, but because you understand our concern and want to throw us a bone, some hope that what happened before isnt gonna happen again.

Theres a long history of server left to its own devices to deteriorate, and you wonder why were cynical about these kind of statements.

It took like a year of "QQing" on the forums for devs to wake up that xp loss in PVP was getting Nihilum a free lunch in raid zones.

And its deteriorating. Like a 50% drop since nerf was implemented. You cant hold it against people that theyre worrying about what this is going to do to the server they invested so much time in. Because as anyone whos been here for a while can anticipate, the downward spiral of population doesnt stop, its a negative snowball effect.

Devs should take the hippocratic oath that doctors take

"First, do no harm"

Meaning your first responsability as a "doctor" is to not make matters worse, patient is in limbo on the operating table right now.

we get that it's not your fault; it's rogaine not doing it because he doesn't care

there's no reason to keep writing these long ass posts saying it's coming "soon" when it obviously isn't(unless your definition of "soon" is actually "sometime between now and next year")
This. This times 10 million.

Not one GM has responded to this point. I've made it multiple times and it has been ignored.

So please don't act like we're being unreasonable here. You just wanted the EXP nerf because that's all you did.

what I just don't understand why all of these changes were decided on, and being coded, but the exp nerf was introduced on its own with no explanation as a ninja nerf and a month having gone by, and possibly many months to go before anything is implemented to replace it.
