Pretty much the SAME feelings here. Started this game I knew about a dozen people from MO1 who played some of them with me and a few in other guilds. Now I look around and they are playing Tarkov, or something else. Not because they are taking a break but because and I quote "we have been down that road before".
yea, I mean I check this forum mostly to see what people are saying. I check a lot of forums haha.
That's not to say this isn't sad, cuz it is. However, a lot of us are Americans. We gave up a lot to start off. We still got on. I think it sounds entitled when gamers talk about MMOs 'respecting their time,' but to me there is some lack of respect going on here.
I'm not gonna pay to get disrespected haha. People like me, and people like most of the posters on these forums, are not who they are listening to. It's that's simple. That's not even to mention the problems they had rolling stuff out (which, again, we have dealt with and would deal with IF they were showing some good faith.)
Some guy on Reddit was talking about trinkets, and he was like wait are there 20% damage trinkets in the game? And people went on to explain to him that yes you could get 20 something dmg with a pair of trinkets, but it was very rare, etc etc.
His reply, and the first post I've ever liked on Reddit lol some "my work here is done shit," was: "alright then. I'll look for a more hardcore game then." haha.
Think of how different all of us are yet we all found something of interest in MO1. We were annoyed, but there was still something there. It's also amazing how they managed to turn people OFF with MO2. Obviously *something* happened.
