the poll's ever so slightly misleading.

the current state of the game is somewhat grim. however, i do like the direction that the game is going in, at least according to the list devcat posted about what they're aiming to change (see the future content section)

Well unfortunately we're run by Global and not KR, so we are continually turned into an experimental, poorly-run hot mess.

Can't believe you guys really didn't learn from all the players you lost with the initial forced move to the Nexon Launcher. Who is running things over there? Do you really think there's any chance of getting us to check out other titles you host when you do it by brute force? With this and the recent ban wave I'm done supporting this title.

You don't communicate with us before making sweeping changes, you don't reply to polite inquiries made by large numbers of players, and you don't take players' best interests into account before you implement systems that literally make the game unplayable for some. I don't understand the motivations, but if your end game is wrecking your players, grats on hitting the new level cap.

Holy crap. A response about a game issue after less than a year.

My guess would be that the regions weren't making enough money so they had to do the merge and they decided to cut a lot of their staff. Meanwhile, in reality, a decent amount of CS can actually generate more money than it costs.

I honestly don't believe that anyone who makes decisions for Nexon at a higher level has any basic comprehension of demand management or uses any informed method for making forecasting and policy decisions. Nothing that they do is rational. It's the same thing with EAWare over at SWTOR. The new project lead decided a "thrill of the hunt" system that introduced RNG everywhere and took away any method of progressively earning new gear was the way to go. Once he decided that--based on his ideas alone, not on any research or data--it was implemented and it drained the game of massive amounts of players who had remained loyal despite all the garbage that was going on in that game from the start.

I just wish people would throw money at teams who were competent and who had the resolve to do what is best both in the short and long term for the company and its customers. I don't understand how ineptitude leads to riches in modern business of any kind, but it somehow does, and companies settle for less than they should because it's "enough" to hit some arbitrary goal.

Will be nice when companies get with modern times and start using analytic tools when deciding policy and real, tested methods of proper customer interaction.
