There aren't Prokian Combat Parties because high-level bullies like the folks who complain (I just know it) get their jollies by going to Prokian to PK the low-level players. I mean really, even five lvl 30 players would be wiped out by one lvl 120 even if they saw him coming. It's an abominable passtime that I would love to see outlawed, but can not be.

Problem solved - though with way Dev's handle issue's we'd never see it unless it was AP related.
Put a level lock on the Draton Temple - for entrance and Recall.

Highest mob is 29 make player usage cap at 34 - 35 tops.

And those above the cap that would cry I can't level my P2 in there - Too Bad!! There are other mobs that give higher Pet Xp on the maps !!

I think recently there has been better receptiveness, so not gonna knock it if they ask for more feedback. The proof will be what is done about it!

I dont disagree with your opinion in its entirety...there HAVE been some efforts made toward listening, i wont take that away....where i disagree, as suggested in my first post...is this notion that the feedback isnt already given...we did our job (and being asked to ..yet again) its time they do theirs. .....(and if i'm being fair, i have 4 p2's myself...its just not enough to distract me from seeing hackers/account buyers/exploiters/gold buyers/same old bugs/killing enjoyable features of the game/increased item mall prices/lowered rewards/sad joke seiges/unanswered rt's/unreasonable bans....i have 4 p2's, 1000's of problems...they'll run outta animals at this rate)

With all due respect, it sounds more like someone just has a problem repeating them selves then anything else. Look, the fact is, there are fresh faces at the helm and they are reaching out to us to grab a handle and gauge where we are at. Having said that, have you ever heard the saying "you attract more flies with honey, then with vinegar"? Lets give them a break, if they are reaching out, lets three peat nicely if thats whats needed!

If you wanted feedback you should have been reading the bazillion posts TELLING you whats wrong..and for that matter it should be obvious....bugs bugs and more bugs with no end in sight, the increasingly greedy mall you ruin with every change, IF a hacker or account buyer gets banned we see em back next week, the constant ruining of things people enjoy (i hear pet room is next to be rendered useless)...and ffs make a party system that encourages actually partying with each other rather than just solo or combat with huggers....ofc if you ever bother to read peoples posts....this is old news. Want to know the 1 thing u can do to improve things? here it is: L I S T E N. (then do what your paid to do)...or option 2: wave goodbye, ppl r leavin and we ALL know why. How is it you seem confused? This post is 1 more bad idea or p2 pet away from applying directly to me. If you still cant figure it out by now, just give up and spare us the insult of being asked to re-post the same thing we already have....you ignored it last time, whats so different now? Your wallets feeling lighter? Hard to imagine that looking at the mall. Even i can see whats wrong, and im a blyndman. ~Greed Kills~

Agreed completely
This is nothing new, good old bs.
There's enough threads out there in regard to this so enough said for me.
Funny how some people just don't get it till they experience it lol

saying "with all due respect" doesn't negate a disrespectful thing to say....example: with all due respect i think your an idiot...still a disrespectful thing to say. They aren't reaching out to new players, just those who already posted themselves numb about the ungodly long list of ignored issues...and got tired of being ignored as well. feedback is there..go read it. I assume when i direct a comment to someone at AGE that i'm speaking to another adult, so i dont feel sugaring it up is neccesary, let em have a tough adult skin and take blunt, earned criticism. They literally asked for it. 'nuff said

Ok, your right, kid gloves off, lets restate that then for ya.."with out all due respect",

Is there something we as people can do to give you a smile? deliver some flowers to brighten your day? A pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? or is your day just that bad? such hostility, if your so dissatisfied and discontent, take it down the road! I understand to a degree being dissatisfied with certain products and services, but when new management moves in or new owners or a re launch happens and they make a renewed commitment to its customers, we at least owe it to them to participate instead whining that were repeating ourselves and pointing countless old RT"s and Post's.

Is that very constructive? Does that get them on our side and want to listen? No! Of course me being the optimist, I always thought we were supposed to think the glass is half full and have some tact and professionalism when we communicate, perhaps I am a bit old fashioned that way. After all, its kind of hard helping the hostile screaming customer that never seems to be satisfied.

Sincerely, try to have some decorum at least, To quote ya ... 'nuff said , and DONE!,

well I just came back after like a year off i can not even get into the game due to maintenance so I'll prob just go back to LOTRO again instead of taking a break from it which they only do maintenance once a month and the game never crashes and u can be max lvl in like a month and a half casually playing I played this game for a year and a half starting in 2008 and I was like 11 lvls from the max I was lvl 109 and the cap was 120 at that time and in the next few months the lvl cap went nuts and then we got the pokemon pets no offense but how about a armoured steed or a ghost horse something related to the game this game would be awesome again if the item mall went back to the way it used to be maybe 10 items total in it.......I was going to come back to check it out but Im not going to spend $80 a week to only gain one lvl when other companys that make mmo's that are free based only look for an average of $50 a year from each player not each week

things I would like changed when I played

1) plenty of quests at each lvl to lvl
2) gold spammers gone
3) Item mall Items sold by a npc for currency you earn in game
4) cap on how much u can sell an item for ie a weapon u can sell to npc for 450 u can only sell for 900
5) how about a story line that goes thru out the whole game(this kinda goes back to #1)
6) also how about ur gear not breaking on upgrades (this is a clear message that u want us to keep buying ungodly amounts of ap and one of the major reason I quit)

This is a post directed at players who have had enough, specifically those headed down the road you so kindly pointed out to me. (otherwise they'd be STAYING) ...so there is frustration...maybe refresh yourself on the definition of hostility, it does have important difference from frustration. My day is actually fine, thanks for your concern tho...flowers aren't neccesary, let em grow. <--feel better now? and with that, I'm over it...back on topic please <--(tact AND professionalism in 1 shot....pokepoke) bring on the vinegar.

It takes time to do it right. If you've been reading patch notes and posts from GMs, you'd probably notice they have been improving, and are planning further improvements, on issues people have brought up. PVP being one of them. In the meantime, they are introducing new items, costumes, and pets. That's a reason to complain? I'd cut them a little break. I seriously doubt they are sitting around, eating cookies, counting money they got from selling AP and ignoring your awesome suggestions... while laughing evilly at our plight and stroking their fu manchus.

Sure, cut them a break after these "great" fixes that JUST came to be, have been needed since before I started playing. Sure, 4 years to fix things. This is the only game I've seen where there are no unique builds where they have to go and look at how dual or triple class interaction with skills. Every class has the SAME skills, and there is no real difference between characters other than the gear that they have.

Feedback sent, I'm out. I might be around to check on forums, and give stuff away in game. Other than that, you won't see me. Off to go play a new game, that's better than this can ever dream to be.
