Against common sense and, more importantly, common decency, you implemented all of the changes you wanted in order to “make the game better” and fatten your greedy pockets. Was it worth it? Are you making a boat load more money? Does the game have a bright future? Is your community thrilled for your next expansion and ready to throw more money at Eververse? Is the “new player experience” so good that player counts are skyrocketing? If the answer is yes, then carry on. I’ll just see myself out.
But I suspect that the answer to literally every one of my questions is “no.” Maybe these short-sighted and greed-driven decisions don’t actually yield positive results. Maybe unnecessary nerfs don’t actually [i]balance[/i] the game but, rather, remove what makes it fun in the first place. Maybe pointless power grinds don’t extend a player’s play time because burn out and the lack of fun causes them to leave altogether. Maybe, just maybe, try [i]actually[/i] listening to your COMMUNITY (not streamers and/or YouTubers). It’s not like we’re not telling you what we actually want/don’t want. I mean, look at what Destiny Rising did and why it’s so well received…

[b][i]Does the game have a bright future?[/i][/b] So bright. [b][i]Is your community thrilled for your next expansion and ready to throw more money at Eververse?[/i][/b] This is 2 questions. Yes, for the 1st. No, for the 2nd. [b][i]Is the “new player experience” so good that player counts are skyrocketing? [/i][/b] Better than it was, and yes... I'm seeing more NEW players than ever before. A lot from Asia... you're even seeing their translated posts here on the forums. 😇👍💠 And it usually takes a year, a year in D1... a year in vanilla D2.
