Whats the point of actual progression when the biggest gimp can just buy Engame gear , without even playing the game.
But what bugs me most is that funcom has again shown their intentions with this game:
Milk until the end
Suggestions ; Ignored . Suggestion thread is just an alibi thread.
Bugfixing : What is that ?
New content : **** that , you got an endless arena grind with eternal waiting times.
Then they give an "update" with a new store promoting it as a big deal . But in fact it looks like created on Win98
And add a chance on getting top gear to it .
Most players who buy that probably cant do anything except faster WB farming with it anyway .
But the annoying part is how funcom handles it .
No proper updates , no communication , no real willingness to listen to players
But making the game P2W - sure
Or maybe I am wrong and those arent the even the intentions of funcom and they DO care about this community.
Maybe they are just the only ones , boneheaded enough to see it that way and cant understand why there is always an annual shitstorm.
But there is usually a reason why Companies go bancrupt and ignorance and dilettantism is usually one of them

Yes the new store still blows
Ah thats a shame, I would agree with you the new mechanic would be fine but combined with the items introduced into the store & at those prices it just smells of cash grab.
Im not one of you that has been here since the beginning but even after a few years of subs & spending a bit of cash, being asked to pony up more after being loyal during some particularly drab days is a tad cheeky.
I dread to think how I would feel after subbing for 8 years & it not counting as "loyal".
No but any time remaining on your sub will be converted into the new loyalty months. For example if we turned on the system tomorrow and you had 45 days left on your subscription then you would get the 30 day reward and the 60 day reward. Basically take the amount of time you have left, divide it by 30, and round up.

Do you seriously believe you can flush some people's 8 years worth of subs down the drain and get away with it? I'm already offended on their behalf.
Also, with this update, you've turned me into one of those people who don't even play AoC but keep posting on the forums just to flame FC in general. Great job, 10/10.
Those two points are utter ********, FYI. The fact that its hard for them to get into higher raids is not gear issue, it is simply practice issue. Nobody wants someone in T5 or T6 raid that does not know how to play their toon or how to raid. Them having the gear from the store will only make it worse since then you take the person in the raid and then have to kick it when you see they cannot play at all. And then you end with the whole raid unhappy since it takes time to re-fill everyones time was wasted and the person who was kicked ends up more unhappy than he would have been in the first place.
The second point on the usefulness of the item, slightly higher combat and crit rating on the point does not dramatically change their usefulness. The price changes are in such way that it is doubtful that anyone will buy them on regular basis any more. Even if you were to totally drop all subs then I would still not buy crit pots now. And I was buying them for every raid and every 6 man. And even if you drop the price slightly then it would still be to much since they were already that expensive that there is no room for compromise of any sort on it. This all smells of that your marketing went through the store found things that sold the most, Elixirs and Rez pots and then decided they could tax that a lot more since it sells so well but not having a clue how their used.
For me to come back to the game after all this slap in the face (yes I did leave, first time ever I try another game) would probably take more than just reverting this awful update. (And note I been paying 2 accounts for many years, Elixirs combat and crit in every raid and 6 mans.
About fewer clicks on the item shop... there was already a Search box in the old version, which I used all the time. If some people didn't realise they could use that and instead they had to do a dozen clicks through all sections and subsections and scroll down/up then that's their problem, but this new shop, on top of having prices a lot more expensive and having less than 1/4th of what the old shop had, it doesn't have a Search box either. It reminds me of how Windows has evolved into "userfriendliness".
