1 The lack of interest from players of any big numbers in general on these forums so it'll be seen as a minority opinion at best and the obvious road inno are taking this game....
Your assumption is incorrect. A properly presented idea, receiving sufficient votes, is entered into the JIRA, which is then prioritized by the project manager.
2 I'm not paid to develop their idea or increase their revenue, you could say its to my playing enjoyment benefit but then again all game development could be volunteer basis but it isn't
I see, but yet you (and a handful of other trolls) have ample time and energy to complain, scream and rant about it. Good job...
3 What on earth is the point suggesting ideas when its clear certainly to my mind anyway that after 3 years and currently having probably the worst ever in regards to fairness and competitive build options that having a fair and cool dueling system actually isnt what Inno want at all. ( Strange because the revenue that it generated has been ruined due to the changes, and is a terrible business decision )
It is typical revisionist history there Victor. You are conveniently forgetting about how the game was, and all the things that have been added to the game, largely based on community requests.
4 Its been 2 months and had there been any serious concerns then something would have already have been done as would be expected in a good companys strategy, especially on a game such as this.
I see, so your logic is,
"in my opinion it's broken so it should have fixed itself." If you don't effectively present alternatives, don't expect changes.
5 .net seems to be an ignored server, probably due to the lack of mugs that some other servers posses re nugget buying etc
Once again you don't know what you're talking about. Trolls and trolling are largely ignored, yes. But, well presented ideas, which *.net has provided more than most, are indeed included into the game or posed in the roadmap.
6 They still cant update without the German language problem for crissake, not hard to get a translation done and since Zet has gone even less inclination to do good work.
Translations issues are the chore of the community managers. As it has been clearly indicated, there's presently a transition of managers here at the *.net.
7 With all the ideas players have given inno over the years and tweaks etc has any one of them ever been thanked or gifted anything as a thank you ? not to my knowledge, in fact its all one way traffic on that front ... us making inno money.
Hmm, yeah actually. Besides such instances as my, Diggo, Da Twista, Gem, Tracey and Morthy having been hired, from
within the community, for our contributions
to this community (and other areas of Inno), and now Desi's upcoming employ, it is also the thanks you receive on occasion with ingame gifts, additional quests, added items, and new features.
Over the years I have come to recognise the way Inno work and its far from as bad as some gaming cos but its very clear they only care about the revenue stream on a very short sighted basis.
It is convenient, but disingenuous, to point out this year's xmas box event and gloss over the many years of generous features, quests, options, etc added to this game. The West's games are still being hosted because they still provide revenue. That's a simple concept to understand. If, at some point, The West costs more to maintain than revenue generated, it will go down --- just like every other mmorpg and browser game has done in the past. To think anything last forever is grossly unrealistic, and particularly unrealistic when in discussion of hosted computer games.
Above all I believe that should all the effort be put in and changes made it would only be done at the expense of further nugget respecs from everyone yet again
If you don't bother to provide your recommendations, they'll do it their way. Doh!
Now you can berate me all you wish for not stepping up etc but the information is here for all to see ... they have all the info they need,are paid to do it, and if they wanted to would have already adjusted. The very fact they havn't leads me to conclude they are just waiting until sufficient time passes before catching everyone yet again for a respec...
The primary focus of developers is to act on bugs and to further develop the game. It is not to search the 13+ forums, in languages
other than German, and find
(in a flood of posts on a variety of topics) the few gem insights posed by a handful of players and even fewer trolls whose presentation of issues are usually colored and often insulting to those very same managers and developers (just like your above post).
The most effective means to get something to their attention is provided in the Ideas & Brainfarts section. A failure on your part to take that route is not the failure of the developers.
Now If Inno wish to consult they could pay me and a number of other top Duellers for it, kinda like a professional dueling think tank.The fact that they wouldnt entertain it if there was money involved should tell you all you need to know, well heres the thing...... just like inno there are things i'll give for free and things i wont. If they want my Premium attn they would have to, just like I have them, pay me for it.
Funny, because they seem to get your whining for free.
Anyway, there ARE means to be 'paid' by Inno. I was paid, in cash. Volunteers are paid in nuggets. Beta testers are paid in nuggets for reporting bugs. The problem here, Victor, is that you're putting the horse before the carriage. To be recognized, to have your views be considered, you have to demonstrate an interest in not merely your own self-serving welfare, but the welfare of the community, the employees of Inno, and the company as a whole. Putting your own interests before all other things doesn't get you hired in the real world and, when it comes right down to it, being "paid" by Inno
IS the real world.
Closing comment: A game is a game, but if you have a vested interest in that game, that form of entertainment, it's up to you to determine just how important it is for you. If you're looking to make a buck, so be it. But, if you're looking to make a buck by repeatedly demonstrating you are more willing to
MAKE work for the company
(by trolling and otherwise) instead of take on some of that work, don't expect to be taken seriously. You're talking about being hired, and yet you're acting like you're entitled. When has that
ever worked for you in the workforce and why do you think it will work for you here?
