If we have nothing to complain about, then there would be no "bashing"...it's a chicken and egg thing.

Fix the Egg and the chicken will stop complaining.


And..."negativity" is perception. Criticism isn't negative per se, discussion is usually helpful.

These discussions are not *really* that far from discussion about which weapon is best. How do you think the A&P Brave feels when you "bash" its economy?

Sure thats true but if i was MA i would want to know why people leave! Then sort it out, but i think as i said a few times already (like a broken record) its the crazy prices that force people away. MA need the high prices to promote the interest.

Wanna buy a time capsule and go back 3+ years ago to see what crashing, unstability and major down times for update means (if u do buy a few mod faps for me will you )

I ain't saying PE dont have it's problems...it does and has plenty...but it DID improve alot (though there is room for LOTS more improvements)

EDIT:

Ummm...then read his profile:

Marco's Profile

He doesn't seem to want PM's...perhaps you have a special agreement with him...

and for the most part all I can say is that it's your typical say (little or) nothing propaganda piece.

I suppose there is value telling the rest of the world what you're doing. there isn't much information for me, though.

the most interesting piece of information in the whole thread is this:

some people have been saying this all along. let's hope we'll remember this and stop thinking that MA has some wealth sharing plan with its customers (I really hate that "participant" term).

nvm..........

You are blurring the line between making money and enjoying the game. If you enjoy making money, great. I enjoy playing a good game. MA and PE have their problems, but they are not unmanageable given time and effort by MA. Do we not give them enough income? If they cannot work with what we give them already will throwing MORE money help?

My problem is MA making outrageous claims to hype the game and get people to join. Some will stick it out, many more will just say "screw this" and leave.

In America, we often have mats in front of our houses that say "Welcome". WE want our guests and visitors to have a pleasant time when they vists. Now imagine my freinds dropped through the mat, got stuck in the ground, and had to relog everytime they wanted to visit...they will likely come back less and less...

I want new players and new opportunities, but EU has feet of clay. WE get thousands to join, and thousands to leave, imagine if ALL those that joined stayed? You seem to have made a lot of money on those that choose to leave, so perhaps you are less motivated to have MA make a game where people want to stay?

Nah, im not of that mindset but i see how you could get that impression. I dont own any land areas or any uber expensive gear. I stopped trading and investing. Infact... in a couple of months I will have to leave the game for a little while because i am joining the US Army. Now I just log on to hunt, have fun, and build my societies. Soon, i will turn the NBK over to a new leader and once I join the Army i will just log in when i can to hunt and help out with the soc.

I want a game where more people stay then leave... its the only way we can develope EU into something more then it already is.

About the section that was in ( ) saying about the conversion back to US dollars. The reason MindArk put that in there is because the average joe thats never heard of them before won't know about the 10-1 PED / US Dollar ratio. So, to keep there from being any confusion, and to keep the reader interested, they left the turnover figure in US$.

'We' aren't the issue, though. 'We' are doing our duty. We log in, we deposit, we mention the game to friends. Some of us even get interviewed by well-read magazines and/or papers, or encourage others to get into the game.

(I know the majority of this currently does not apply to me anymore, but it sure did at some point).

The ball is not in our court.
