I am canceling my subscription as of tonight. My guild killed all of the content up to Chatha and the whole game has just become more then disappointing for me. My favorite toon to play was always the DT and the players in the DT forums know that whether they approve of my posts or not. My second favorite toon to play was the Demo, purely because I would try to top the parse with as little deaths as possible and to go for the big crits (my record was 44k on a Yahk add and 27k on the Champion). Our guild needed a guardian more then we needed a DT so I made the switch to play my guard more recently. The guard has always been a huge stamina drainer but Plexus Strike made it so if used properly it could be maintained. They nerfed Plexus Strike to nothing for reason's unknown to me (it regens about 1/6 of my stam now). Born on May 27, 2008, my two main toons have plenty of play time
and the rest of the toons are all over 10 days.
Exploits were and are allowed to be used with no fear of punishment from Funcom. A PoM on Set with 12k kills and less then 2k deaths, come on seriously? I was in hide on my ranger standing near no one in CE and a HoX came up and HF'd me out of hide. How did he know I was there, or do people just randomly go around casting HF looking for people in hide? I think there is a program that everyone knows exists.
How long was Yahkmar killable by 6 people? How long was Sabazios the fight where you did nothing but max dps without thinking? How long will Kylikki be exploited? How long until Seruah's room and Yaremka's room are able to do without turning off the sound? How long until you finish Wing 1 and get 6 drops of use, and not 6 drops of rot. How long was Ahazu able to be bugged out and kill him with no damage taken? How long did it take to originally to make Chatha killable? What about Kylikki's Minions falling through the floor? What about the exploit of leaving one minion up not resetting the spawn cycle (Confirmed exploit someone mentioned during a TL raid with a GM present)? What about Chatha's adds falling through the floor or disappearing and reappearing? What about the first week after the patch Exorcant's gargoyles go to the raid leader, then after the hotfix they go back to the tank on Exorcant?
How many people have level 60+s, products of the catacombs? How many people got all of the alchemy recipes from System by logging a toon inside the walls and just log in, check the table and log back out? How long did people exploit the 7 day timer by creating a new raid with a new toon and switching everyone to that instance?
Why did you take purple world drops from the game, forcing people to pay 100g+ just because they wanted a certain piece, but yet fixed the crazy purple drops (purple rain) within 3 days?
How much feedback did the large guilds give you about TL and how they couldn't get past Ahazu or the Gargoyle to test the rest of the bosses and you put it live anyway?
Anyway, I'm not canceling my subscription based on content. I usually always have enough to do and I typically play 6-8 hours a day. I am canceling because I am tired of working around the bugs and exploits. I shouldn't have to pay to play a game that requires me to turn off the sound to ensure I don't get dropped during a raid, forced to PvP against players to farmed to get their gear, and seeing you let people get away with making BoP raid gear tradable. Also I have 5 80s, and 3 50s and I just cannot bring myself to level another toon. Yeah sure the quests were fun the first 5 times....
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.
Thanks to the community for the fun times (for being the troller and being trolled :P), and thanks Set for the fun PuGs.
(Flame me if you want, I really don't care, Funcom not listening ruined this game for my guild)
