Why so angry…?

I will defend where it is possible, but perhaps recent changes have not impacted the progress or investment you have made. I agree with the two main complaints at the moment, I have only ever been as frustrated by one previous issue to the extent I am with fleets at the moment.  Whilst introducing things to chase is good and I have been excited about GLAT. Erasing, nerfing or sunsetting progress in a game running for years is dangerous. It’s good players are complaining because when they stop they may just stop playing, that will be a much better bigger problem. 

Those of us who have been around for a while know that whilst the game has not died with the amount of complaints in the past we have seen players retire, my guild had a rage quit due to punishing one. So when players talk about how much until we see an exodus, it’s not hyperbole, they are concerned how far will we be pushed. I asked myself this week why do I play when I have felt more negative than positive recently. I assume the forum is that playing out for multiple players, not ready to leave but not feeling good about playing at the moment.

Rapid progression of early game is to replace players who retired in the past. Before we recruiters were struggling to replace players leaving with equal size rosters as so many veteran players left impacting all sizes of guilds. Due to previous decisions they did not like. This varies, I like datacrons but they resulted in many leaving. I don’t mind higher relics but others dislike the push to more resources. My personal big dislike is my efforts being diluted by nerfs or having to re-invest for the same rewards, I like to see progress. But at the moment GAC MM, fleets, raid and now AB, result in no progress or reversing previous progress.
