Well, Naughty Pumpkin's been quiet for a couple of days. I hope it lasts. But, I'm very much afraid it won't.
I've decided it's time to do some thinking. The West started out as a lovely game, with lots of things to do. I was brought here by a friend, to duel. Then, y'all decided to screw the dueling up, the thing that started the entire TW ball rolling, so dueling is almost entirely not a thing any more, other than for quests. After years, my friend finally gave up and left.
I switched to FFing, and made a few friends, and was enjoying it, particularly because here, the "enemies" were working together, not only to make the FFing more even, but also so that anyone who wanted a fort had access to one- all the town/alliance had to do was ask (And in my case, they gave me forts because I was an active, sane FFer without my asking). Things were pretty cool, and all of a sudden, Inno decided to go for the instabuck, and sell stuff for gold that unbalanced the FFing. We adapted.
Instead of fixing what had been screwed up, Inno has continued to make the FFing even more unbalanced. It would be so easy to make one of these many sets something that could allow tanks to resist the new Dueler outfits, but Inno hasn't. Now, we have tanks losing 12,000 HP or more in one round, and the FFing is totally screwed. Balancing the sides so no one knows who's going to win is almost impossible- all for a few more instabucks. And, the fool "prizes" for the events are getting more and more useless.
It's having its effect. More and more players are leaving.
Now we add in the obnoxiousness of NP, and her cohorts, who are trying to screw up what remains of the game, just for ego tripping, and you tell me you guys can't stop it?
So, Inno is screwing up the game, and won't protect the players from abusive players who have been abusing the system for YEARS, not just a few weeks or months, and getting cranky at our complaints, when we've just gotten tired of the hassle. After years. Wonderful.
I think I'm going to take a week or so vacation, just as soon as the event ends- not going to dump on my "friends" who have been sending me fireworks (or whatever the event calls for) for many events.
However, I may or may not be back- if I am back, it most likely will to be give people my stuff and spend up the last of the nuggets, since I know Inno won't give me a refund.
In short, Inno has taken a perfectly lovely little game, that would have been a steady, if not spectacular money maker and chosen to make it all but unplayable.
Inno certainly has the right to run their game into the ground however they want to.
I have a right to spend, or not to spend, my money however _I_ want to.
