    This comes up all the time. It's why goldfarming sites are successful, and why botting is so popular. There are tons of people who will pay good money to save time, get an advantage, enjoy what they see as the full game, whatever. It's pervasive, and not a secret by any stretch (Business papers such as Forbes have run articles in print discussing this multi-billion dollar industry).

    Heck, in my WoT clan there was more than one person spending nearly $1,000 a month on expendables alone.

    There might only be less than 10% of a gaming community who blow lots of cash, but out of tens of thousands of players, that money can add up quickly.

They removed that and redesigned it in order to re-release it later as the current Volge Sieges. They did the same thing with the scaling system, and quite a few other things. If they were to "turn it off" then all those man hours of redesigning and tweaking would be completely wasted, and they cannot let that happen. People have been asking about Hellbug sieges. Those were also in the game during it's early phases and will be re-released.
    Ah, somehow I didn't see this post yesterday while on this thread - was getting ready to head out at the time. No WONDER I misunderstood you!!

    Anyway, that's my feeling too, it's more of a tragic series of mistakes and they're sticking to scaling for their own (IMHO entirely misguided) reasons. As opposed to deliberately flawed content.

    As far as wasting man hours - too late. Seems to me the original hours were the ones that were wasted and management "let it happen". To make the game playable again they better fix it soon or the whales will not come for SURE. I know how it is to throw good money after bad and sometimes in hindsight, losses should've been cut much sooner.

    On another note, I'd like the whales to show up and give 'em an influx of cash. Maybe we'd see some improvements. OK probably not but it might happen.

    Eh from my experience, the games which rely heavily on whales tend to mostly improve the in game store, and if anything add more grind to the actual game.

    I saw a box box last night but I did not open it yet. I thought I would still need keys and money. I guess I will open it. What is inside?

    4 guns - it's the same as the Epic Veteran lockbox in the bit store if you want to read the description for that. They will be at your current ego level whenever you open it.

    Remember, don't believe everything you read on the Internet. That's how World War I got started.
