Alerting people to problems is good but do so in a respectable manner. This isn't a Master P concert so communicating effectively and concisely is a good thing. Put a little effort in and you'll see much better results.Originally Posted by stefb42

Great post... and great feedback as well.
It has been a wild ride for the past 3 years. I guess because many of us old-schoolers have been down this road so often, this latest update and it's issues came as no surprise to us. For the most part we expected it to launch with a few bugs, so unlike the ftpers, took the cautious approach to using the exchange. Yes, me may have lost items like ftpers did, but the items we lost were things we could do without anyways, because we knew better than to trust the new system with our higher end items.
As for the one of Kons posts in reply, I think he nailed it on the head with the fact that the game code is old. As a business manager myself, I know how important labor cost control is. There are many things broken with this game. Many of the broken features have been there since launch. What people don't realize is that with a game of this scope, many things are layered over and interconnected. It may seem easy to fix one thing. What if fixing one thing breaks 3 others, and fixing those breaks, creates even more problems? It quickly becomes an issue of not being very cost effective to fix too many things.
The developers have bosses just like we do in our jobs. Sometimes they may have items that they know can be fixed, but get over-ruled by by the boss as not being worth the extra labor cost. It is often why we see many of the latest fixes or nerfs being centered around the bitstore. It is not because the developers think that it is the cool thing to do, but because their BOSSES think it's the cool thing to do.

So your saying because it's better now than it was no one should complain, that's ridiculous!
When a purchase is made in a game or a shop you are taking the company supplying said items word that it is as advertised and working, when that item isn't what it was supposed to be or broken you have a right to complain.
Lately we've had paid for weapons in t4 lock boxes, the same premium and elite boxes accidentally switched for a whole event, bundles that don't drop all the items paid for and the rigs on said bundle actually broken and now the exchange!
Trion make money from this game and should have a better testing system in place to catch all this before release, this is what will stop a large amount of the complaints not a post on a forum telling ppl to get over it or move on.
I completely agree with a lot of this. I do not blame the devs for what has happened. I blame the upper management of trion. Things were not as bad before the old CEO kicked the bucket. Then his grandson took over, reversed most of our quality of life updates and turned this game with so much potential into a cash grab.
Developers are the boss's worker ants. They give recommendations much like we do but hearing "not gonna happen" or "not in the budget" isn't uncommon. As a business owner myself I can tell you there's much more in overhead than you think.
Exactly. I run the books for my father's company.i understand this better than most, however there are better ways to go about making money than screwing over your own customers.
What I remember from the first days (besides what already has been mentioned) is how many players there were. I'd guess more than 90 percent gone now (every single player that I was friends with during the first year is gone now). I appreciate those who are still here and those that came later. The community and my clan mates are still awesome. Defiance is not perfect by any means and is often quite a pain. And the RNG sucks worse than ever! (And I'm not shy over complaining about it.)
Still it's my favorite game since Tabula Rasa. I guess for me the most important thing to remember is that it's a game and not worth getting salty over one way or the other. If I choose to spend money on it, my choice. If I don't, well that's my choice too. Having said that, however, I do believe those of us who do play should also support the game financially.
No one is telling you not to complain but do it in a professional manner. People tend to ignore unintelligible posts as it's too much work to read it. I don't care to sort through the alphabet soup.
If everyone is entitled to complain and post multiple threads (some people post multiple, it's insane) then I can say to quiet down. There's no need for all the posts about one problem. Unless you enjoy reading the same story 20 times for every big, read on then. That's your cup of jo. But it's not for most of us. I hair decided to post up about it.
(Out of order, forgive me) for the first part of your post, they might be serious, they might not. No one really knows how much they have to spend on the game, doubt it's a lot because of servers being used though. There might be people behind the screen working on the game as well that aren't on forums or response team for tickets. Just food for thought there. I agree the game was rushed at the start but it's come a long ways.
