MA still needs to learn

I'm not saying strictly cater to the ubers however. They are their most important customers, and MA doesn't want to lose their business, but they also need to focus on bringing up some of their smaller customers to uber level as well. It's a tough balancing act on where to focus your time.

Just because YOU feel really important, doesn't necessarily mean your as important to MA. If forced to choose between two customers, who would you personally cater to? Someone that's spent $200 with you or someone that's spent $20,000? That's business, plain and simple...

You can please some people some of the time, but you can't please all people all of the time...

I'm pretty sure that the rest of the people in EU spend a lot more together than top 5% of skills types.

Agree. And last time i checked, the general rule is that high investors in armor and weapons don't seem to hunt... that's what entropia tracker tells us. Great activity spying tool we know who the real ubers are

Here's the problem, the player perception is almost always instantly negative to any change in any game. You can copy and paste your post to any online game within hours of any update and get the same responses. I can't tell you how amusing it is to see how people believe every game company hates its players and knows nothing about their own game. People complain loudly before they've even spent a few days testing out new changes and thinking about how they can use them to their advantage.

If you look hard enough you can find games where the companies do make changes based on player requests, and those changes are almost always negative because players seem to always believe everyone else is too strong and they are too weak (class based games).

Im happy with the changes id rather see a noob work his nuts off to kill a trox than flaten it with his opalo, as trox HOF's are around 10k now a days i think its fair on the avatars who have put a lot of time, money and effort in EU. The damage of trox and feff's has not changed they just require more shots to bring them down. If MA was to balance EU in the favour of new players there would'nt be an EU there are plenty of creatures new avatars can hunt.

Me to I like it, havent found anything to complain on yet, but complain is for everyone. I guess the lag, but its new vu so that goes away in a few days.


And yeah, swallow your fear of change, its hard but its doable

Damn, you are so wrong with the "uber" thing 80% of those ubers BARELY deposited, IF ever, and most of them were(still are) just withdrawing (old-time players = ubers = not depositers , there are SOME exceptions that deposited a LOT)

Wow, I could not have said that better my self, Polls for us to decide what we like and what we dont like, I mean after all who pays your salary MA, thats right we do.......


I love when people bring up the problems and then the present a solution to the problem. +rep for the Poll idea.

after doing 11 years in the military, I learned one thing never ever take a problem to your boss if you dont have a solution to the problem. If you dont have a solution then your just complaining, SO MA WE HAVE A SOLUTION NOW..... WE WANT POLLS

most of the changes i see are to the better.

the difficulties: the looks of the refiners - they are all the same shape now .. only difference is the very teeny tiny thin line of color about their face.

the tools on the hotbars need to be reset each time they are moved about in your inventory. your inventory is moved about nearly each time you log in.

needed to pull my plates off the armor before i could repair it .. then make repairs and put them back on .. that needs to be fixed back.

i have not had a chance to go hunting yet ..

when starting a craft run adding teh bp to the terminal - get notice "cannot execute. try again"


bunches of little annoying things that we thought had gotten fixed before are popping up again ..

can hardly wait to find all the new colors and crafting bps .. there are even some new weapons supposed to be available ... to craft .

and why did they up the stats for trox and such ?? where are the frescoqcauda???? i have loads of those stinking texture bps and no mob to go with 'em!!
