sad to see old school players go away...

there is so much to say... or maybe not so many too.

Just sadness and silence.

imo muting should have been changed but not completely nerfed the way it was :(

but hey the game changes and hopefully in 2-3 years a few people will be able to mute 55+ items and we can start selling them for atleast 2 fg

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!


vouch all of that.. last version is 100x better
and all of what u stated is true -.-

/e: what i also miss is the old characters...
these new characters look way to cheesy and dumb
i wish we could have old characters back =[

Start soloing, get guild catas going, and quit complaining. Enjoy the game for what it is

I lol'd at the "americans grabbing loot" part, even though I know you meant delay between countries causes you to miss the loot...

One thing I want to say is that perhaps if you played more, you would be more accustomed to how things work?  Your last GP was in mid December, that was a month ago, you could have another months worth of practice on grabbing drops.

Anyways, best of luck to you guys, I still think your reasons for quitting are not very good.  The game is constantly evolving, and we need to either get used to it, or in your case, quit and move on.


Ups. my bad, my bad. Of course I didn't mean to accuse US players in any way, I'm just stating that people living closer to the server(s) have a great advantage.
Maybe it's just a matter of Italian nets (world known uh?) Still I often get 200ms delay, and this is an extremely high lag to grab. That's why I often can't even see the items.
Maybe other european countries have a lower lag, dunno.

agree with 99% of what you wrote, unfortunately I am still addicted. I would love to see some changes and some previous changes made right again, the game has lost so much of what made it fun.


Yeah, I know, I admit I've been addicted as well. But last changes brought me away from the game, and after a few weeks of no slashing... I don't miss it :)

Alan spend more time in the photography forum with me :hug:


Sure thing Marie! I really have to make some more practice :D

sweet "im kind of quitting... but maybe just taking a break if i get what i want" thread
honestly, if you're quitting because you can't get more drops and it's not as profitable as it used to be - good!


I see you've got the point, good job.
Now seriously, I've always made much more profit in the GFX section, I made at least 30% of my equip from my sold signatures.
Sometimes I can easily make more than 200 fg/hour in the GFX section, but feel free to think that the lost income is the reason why I (we) quit.

True, a good guild is very important to enjoy the game.
Still we've never been playing together a lot, it's never been a LS-based guild but a group of friends, with different free time etc, due to job, school, whatever.
We used to share items a lot tho, and we did good cata runs too. As I said, we left for whole different reasons, just to be clear.


@ all other guys: thanks for your nice words, much appreciato :)

Sorry to see another good member of the LS community leave. It is unfortunate that the current state of the game is driving people away. Even I am playing less, I certainly do not enjoy LS as much as I used too.

Right now I am just waiting for a couple choice games to begin ;) (D2's new patch/ladder, and Allods to start Open Beta)

take care Minions :)
