pop pop watch it drop

[uberlalzar]

i want to discuss whether or not zone avg afternoon population has dropped since last reset because i remember a time when the avg pop was equal or greater than metal gear now it is at least 50% of that and most of it is spec

Because the item system fails not a lot of people like the new item system.

[uberlalzar]

EDITED: Yes, there has been an obvious drop. Edited August 10, 2008 by Relos

good its not a mirage as the staff seem to suggest now why is nothing being done to bring in more players simple logic dictates that if something causes loss it should be fixed example: a company is 500000 in negative profit do they continue along until bankrupt? NO they identify the problem and fix it until they are profiting again

[Aishi]

I could answer that, but i wont, because it would have me reveal information i dont think mods want the players to know

[uberlalzar]

we all know that the mods hate our guts and want us to leave

You're !@#$%^&*uming (incorrectly) that population is my goal for the zone. Yes, population has dropped, and it's not hard to see why: flagging isn't any fun. But knowing that flagging is flawed isn't enough to know how to fix it. Fixes have to be done carefully to not upset the delicate balance.

[uberlalzar]

perhaps it is just that you are unable to accept that every major change you made since then has only killed flagging more so instead of going back to settings that worked you just kept on killing flagging some more this new not enugh bounty too attach thing are you trying to stop flag games altogether?

[Dr Brain]

Try punctuation.

[uberlalzar]

Try punctuation.

 

ROTFLMAO thats all you can say dose that mean its true?

[★ D1st0rt]

Yes, it's true that punctuation generally makes people take you more seriously.

Meaning I wasn't going to take the time to read your post if you weren't going to take the time to make it understandable.

What exactly is that supposed to mean?

Armchair in that context means "a casual critic who lacks practical experience" from Wikipedia. It means you guys really have no idea what things matter.

I don't get how there is a problem here. Like arnk says, this is a free game. Doc doesn't have to do jack for anyone unless he wants to.

 

Find a new game if this one is no longer fun for you.

What is the point then?

[uberlalzar]

yes do tell us in your words what is the point.

[rootbear75]

go look in almost any other topic criticizing brain. It's been answered more than enough times.

[uberlalzar]

i would think that brain just enjoys playing god to a bunch of nerds who cant afford mmog subscriptions
