GC buying/selling - PK is unrelated; So say the official forums moderators.

Just another instance where i saw post deletion when i shouldn't and saved the posts for your enjoyment. :P

All starts after post #14 (Hellraizer's):

You can see the responses from bkc56, Quimbly, Hellraizer and myself
HERE

Then here you can see our posts deleted and Quimbly and myself posting about the deletion
HERE

Then Quimbly's post was deleted, and Aislinn responded to my post... i somehow lost the page with her response and was unable to save it, so i will give as close and precise rendition of what she said as possible:
Korrode's rendition of what Aislinn said
 
Hellraizer's post was left intact because some parts of it were on-topic
(I note again these were not her exact words, and she's very welcome to contact me to make any kind of correction, but that's basically what was said.)

To which i responded:
Korrode's response to Aislinn
 
If topics are going to be brought to the conversion/debate, and left there, how can counter points be deleted?

Also, it's really not off topic.

A common theme when discussing GC buying/selling isn't the buying, it's the selling. If we go and read the unofficial forums and not look at who sells, but look at who buys, we'll see very clearly that PK'ers make up the vast majority of the buyers. How can PK related debate be considered off-topic when it in fact makes up half of the topic? (i.e. the buying half, as opposed to the selling half.)

Then like a minute after i posted that both mine and Aislinn's posts were deleted, perhaps by some 'higher-power' ^o)

LAME.

no shit, i posted my concerns on our forums. its ridiculous that good suggestions that were meant to help the developers were deleted by them. im wondering at this point if there isnt some inside devious agenda by some to want the game to fail.

good point quim. And your right on the money m8

I said often that other harvestables / resorces should be on pk maps only.

The only reason I ever ventured to kf as a newb was for merc. Many more resorces are need, even seridium, etc

ill log and play on EL
....






when things become acceptable, until then, my money and time goes else where. if you want to make a point, that is how to do it, nothing more, nothing less

EDIT: from main forums i quote infamous
Quote:
 

just farmed yeti with an OS, 27k gc in 5-6 hours, enough for 1 rosto... which is good in 1 invasion.
its not easy to farm yeti since spawns mostly taken and 1 yeti isnt worth it, keeps gc low, so yeah buying gc is good


and assume we are awake 12~ hours a day, why would i give half of that up, just to buy a rosto, doing some torturous activity over and over again - its illogical, it goes against all common sense (not to mention the years/months/days/hours to get to a level to farm a yeti ^^ )

i'd rather go out in the sunshine, play a different game, or go annoy my sister, all much more enjoyable than the former


APPENDIX:If you ever remember SOMETHING I have said, then i hope it is this:

At some point, you guys must realize, the time you spent on your characters are sunk costs, you're NOT getting it back, and playing more EL won't help.

the problem with hydro is that you only have to "pass through" pk and true pkers cant get there because many have to take hellspawn to be competative so even getting to the hydro pk are is impossible.
another problem with hydro is that it is used to make superior armor and weapons and even enhanced armors and weapons. it makes pk that much more expensive.
my suggestion of making unique harvestable in a "convienent" pk area that would create only desired "eye candy" items benefits most everyone. making it in td, a no rosto area, i think would excite pk as i know i wouldnt equip expensive items to explore the harvesters. it could create some nice guild ally drama also.

This, in a nutshell, is why EL eats a dick.

yea and also dont forget about the majority ppl playing EL are the same that came up with this bullcrap of community rules and took the game kinda away of the way it was meant to be played... now imagine if ent moves the harvestables to pk area how much crying and bs our peacefull friendly harvesters would come up with
dont expect something like this to happen NEVER

And the post deletion continues.

Post #15 by PaulB contains an excerpt from an interview with a lead developer of another MMORPG.

Infamous and myself replied quoting the following part of that excerpt:
Interview with Imre Jele - Runscape lead developer
posted by PaulB
And one option available is to simply make your experience so much fun that no one feels the need to "cheat" the grind in the first place.

"To be honest, I think instead of real-world trading, games have to be designed in a way that they provide enough fun while you are getting somewhere; if I am incapable of providing you with enough fun while you collect that 1000 gold for a steed, then the game is not good enough," concluded Jele.


We simply stated that we highly agreed with the above quote and that it was very well said.

Posts poofed now. Guess agreeing with topics we feel need attention is all too much.

EL doesn't suck.

Some of the recent changes may but the game as a whole is really good.

If you play Eternal Lands and like it, it is because (IMO):

-You haven't played it for a long time.
-You already clicked your way to a high level, and don't want to waste you effort.
-You haven't got to know Entropy&CO.
-You feel too much attached to your guild mates.
-You think that THAT is all a f2p MMORPG can offer.

EL doesn't suck.
Agreed.

EL as a whole has many good components, the problem is the few components that do suck, really suck badly. What's most frustrating is that the game is fairly close to being all round uber, but we seem to stay forever close and never actually get there.

...and when we try to address/emphasise those few sucky things, we get our posts deleted, marvellous.

I have been around for over 2 years which is long enough to say I am well informed on what the game can and cannot offer.

I don't need to stick around just because of the friends I make here because I talk to them on skype almost every day.

If I really got tired of leveling my character I would find something different to do.

People get too caught up on one part of an update and fixate on it.

Why not try to think about all the things that made you actually stick around and play for so long to begin with.
