Hi guys!
Yes, I guess it's time to say a warm farewell to this community, and this comes from our guild members, all of them
It's been a pleasure to play with you guys, we met a lot of nice people. Sure there have been a few issues with a couple of players or so, but I feel I can say this is by far the best gaming community I've ever been with.
Our last GP was obtained on 12/16/2009, I think it's been long enough to say we're done for the moment.
Sure we might come back, we all wait for new versions of the game and future improvements.
I'd like to leave a few reasons why we quit.
This is not meant to be a cry topic or such a thing, so if you wanna write down some gtfo-post, please do that somewhere else
I hope our ideas will help the community grow, we've put into these ideas as much honesty as we could, no rant at all.

The economy
After the old transmuting way has been removed, most of us lost their reliable source of income.
New skills have been introduced to compensate, but in our opinion this added too much difficulty.
I personally spent tons of hours glyphing, and I could get to level 9 or so. I can now earn like 200 fg/month with glyphing, but this is not worth in my opinion.
Too much time spent there and too little income. Spending the same time playing solo will surely bring me more fg.
Same for fishing. I know it's meant to be like that, but this cuts away from the game all those players who got little time to play.

graphics
Most of us didn't like the last update. 4 or 5 of us quitted because of it.
It's pretty messy and not handy, you end up with too many open windows. Switching among them takes time and it's pretty frustrating.
What we would like to see is some more organized and clean graphics, yet more "thrilling".
We'd like to see some kind of giant mobs for quests, or 7 shamans that look all the same.
We'd also like to see more "information" during our fights, like popping out fancy text with "critical!!" "blocked!!" or so.
This would add a lot of depth to the gameplay in our opinions.

drop loot
Another reason to quit for a lot of us.
Personally, that made me quit. We are players from Europe and it's extremely hard for us to compete with aggressive grabbers from USA.
Most of the times, especially after shamans or evils, I can't even see the dopped item. This is really frustrating.
I think the game definitely needs a drop loot, based on the activity of players in cata. Also, the drop box should contain the items for like 3-4 waves, in a FIFO manner, so we could check the items carefully while playing. This would make the game faster and more balanced.


OK I guess this is all.
Once again, no need to rant. These are our reasons, feel free to comment on them but pay some respect
I hope we'll be back one day, we really had great times together, among us and with all of you.
Best of wishes from the minions!

So if Paul changes the game to your liking you will be back?

Enjoy real-life!

Muting is gone so no income = play arena, get drops

Americans grab your loot? = idk how about... play arena, get drops


Yeah that's it I guess, hf with w/e you are doing while retired.

Hope to see you back soon! Hf there anyway

I will no longer play it the way it is now, that is all.
Surely I will follow the future updates and try them. No need to be changed "to my liking", just solved a few issuses that brought us away.
I just posted our opinions since it's pretty strange that all of us quitted almost together, even tho our guild hasnever meant to be LS-based.
I sincerely feel that posting our reasons will help the game grow somehow.

Agree'd

Good luck to minions

I wish you guys luck in the next game you play together AlPi. You guys certainly had a good run with LS.



stop being such an asshat

Many people feel this way especially with muting--

I guess I have faith that Paul has a long term plan which will make the game more bearable and less frusterating- fg wise etc

in my year of playing .. I think I've made less than 2k off ls and invested over 60k

Thanks Alan, you have expressed very well the important points that have done much to stop playing guild.
It can not only play in the Arena, hoping for the 'items perfect (or almost) to make fg. I do not fish, I do not gliphyng and do not use the mute box ... What remains? Nothing. Cata has become a mess. I do not think you can go back, but for us, not even go forward. It is a shame. I'm not ready to sell everything I got in this year. Every now and then two shots to give them a monster, but there's the enthusiasm that was there before.
The only bright side, they are friends. Those, hopefully remain and which are not only sharing ls.

Sorry, I do not speak English well, I hope my post is clear.

Good Luck to you guys
