Simple question to ask yourself...are you having fun?

START
If answer=no
[quit]
Else
[have fun playing with the game like it is]
END

Side note: Since launch AV has made a lot of good changes to the game. I'm guess that future changes will enhance the game even more. I for one love, the Merc guilds; who else would we have to fight?

The above is about as straight forward as it gets. That being considered, I can't honestly say I've had "fun" in this game, except for some very rare exceptions, and those exceptions I would have considered "normal moments" in some other games I really loved. There's a lot more I don't like about this game, but don't want to bring too much negativity toward all of the others who are working so hard at this game.

The biggest reason for myself wanting or needing to quit is TIME - it simply requires a LOT of time (that I don't have or am willing to spend) in this game to gather the mats and other necessities needed to stay competitve. Right now in my life - if it takes more than .5 hour per evening to grind at gaining said mats, without actually playing the game, then that is just too much time I may be wasting just to lose it due to a crash or death, etc. This also goes for most MMOs in general, it seems anymore.

If they were to revisit and correct the issues that happened in the past with sieges, mainly refunded other guilds who had lost because of server failures, then I would have no problems. Or, if they released some sort of statement letting everyone know about the change in advance, I would have no problems. I'm all for Aventurine changing their ways.

The issue is that a guild lost their gold, as many others have in the past, due to server issues, and that guild went crying on the forums and now Aventurine decides it's going to make things right and deviate form previous practice. Who's to say they'll do this from now on or for anyone else? No official statement has been made.


They didn't refund The Mercs' gold wager fyi.

They didn't? Everyone is saying they did get the gold back... Well if you count people in clan alliance AND forumfall, I know aren't the most reliable sources. It is a source non the less.
