Another credit crunch thread...
TL;DR refer to title. I'm patient for shards, i'm patient for grinding insane amounts of gear at low drop rates but I cannot be patient any further than that and especially for something as mundan...

No matter if you agree or disagree, basic fact is that people who have shortages (for whatever reason) are more likely to quit playing because they can't use a few of there grinded toons (fact). I know people in my guild stopped spending over it and dropped in activity. It works demotivating for people, especially the ones that make bad choices and can't adjust fast enough.
So credit crunch or not, the signals are there and it's a hot topic. It's not in the good of the game no matter which side your on.
This was the exact point I was trying to make.
It is stopping people spending and stopping people playing as much. Why buy crystals when I don't have credits to make them useful?
It is unhealthy for the game and I hope there are enough people that see this and stop buying crystals to force them to wake up and realize they are killing their game.
There is no reason why a level 80 should be earning the same rewards as a level 62 and have things costs 100s, even 1000s times more. It's pathetic and it is bad game design. It's unacceptable.
I cannot remember the last time I grinded a hard node because there is absolutely no point going for shards. Gear is all the rage and they have made that so long and boring as well to get.
This game use to be about grinding shards and leveling up toons to play with. Not anymore, now it's a game of doing a boring GW everyday to save up some credits so I can use an omega here and there and try get my top 5 to my player level, it sucks, it's boring.
The entire nature of this game has changed due to the credit shortage and honestly I don't think I'm alone when I say the excitement is fading as I never look forward to a new toon, it's all about raiding for gear that's drop rate is pathetic and could take 3 years to get. What's the point??
To those who say oh concentrate on 1 toon, be patient. This isn't what a game should be, that is not fun, that is boring, mundane and demotivating.
These games are about progression, that's what makes them fun, take away the progression and the fun goes with it.
The worst of it is is that the people in charge say nothing about it, they cannot give a valid reason as to why they have done this without sounding pathetically greedy and having no understanding of the fustration their customers face.
Bring back the game of heroes! We are sick and tired of playing the game of credits!
