128247-wildstar-became-a-joke

== Content ==
			
I have been unsubscribed from almost a week before the f2p announcement, today I activated my 10 days free trail and for the first time I saw what a joke WS has turned to. I am in a guild with over 400 players with almost over 320  players offline for a month plus and 3 weeks offline another 60 plus players only 10 players online and players that have log on the last week or two have been less than 20 players.  Wildstar is trying to sell of as much games as possible before the ftp and get as many possible subscribers as possible before ftp. 
 
The question is who in their right mind would pay $15 a month for God knows how long before wildstar actually turns ftp, in the mean time not knowing for sure what signature players will be receiving, or with loyalist points. It has been a month plus and yet no sure information no announcements of a sure date or what this drop will included.  Players don't even know for sure if the game will turn pay to win. 
 
I have played this game for over 11 months with out counting unsubscribed time that is give or take $215 dollars spent on box game plus subscription time. This is a really big sum of money to be in a place were I don't know shit of what is going on with the game more than its going free to play. I don't know if my time invested was worth it or money. And to add insult to injury today I saw how WS is killing of its remaining free players until it goes ftp to try and get a little bit more cash. 
 
I truly believed in WS, I thought this was the next big thing, and due to a lack of paying attention to problems constantly spoken out by players, by releasing a game not yet ready with almost no content. Than we were promised drops ever month only to have them constantly postponed. We had a ton of information hidden from us as players. Also any post made that doesn't please or promote the game is just locked. A horrible marketing team, and this is what we got a game that had great potential just dead. 
 
Most people who still play still believe in wildstar and will shun off any criticism of the game but the truth is this game failed do to greed and a lack of understating what players really want. The only card out there to save this game was the ftp also ruined by a 5 month plus wait for it.
 
So congratulations to all the devs out there that still think WS can compete with Wow or Eso or Guildwar. Most big MMORPG out there are about to launch game expatiation and here WS is trying to squeeze the milk out of a hand full of players who stayed in the game. And for maintaining the WS policy of how much D!#$ can we throw at our players before they give up on the game.

			I'll just say this - if you like the game, now is the time to believe, not to check out.

Did you have more fun than 2-3 meals at McDonalds per month? Then worth. If not, then why were you subbed for all that time?

NCSOFT pushed em out the door early, they realized that a drop every month lead to tons of bugs, and they lock posts to keep info in one place. One thing I will agree with you on though: Their marketing sucked royally.

Maybe I'm blind, but I do seem to recall changes like an increase to housing decor limits, pets, easier attunement process, fixes to stop "gold or bust" on dungeon runs, Easier access to amps/amp points/ability points, easier access to runes, etc were ALL THINGS PLAYERS REALLY WANTED.

News flash: ESO tanked hard too and ended up having to change it's marketing before Wildstar, so that's not a good example. I'll give you a C- for effort with this thread. Have a nice day :)

Hm. It sounds like that free trial wasn't put to very good use. I wager the OP just logged in, saw the guild roster, and logged of.
 
I'm perfectly satisfied dishing my money out to Carbine to help support a game I feel has so much potential to recover. Now that being said: if they let you start to buy gear with stats, or let you pay for progressing your character gear wise without having to do any work for it? That's when I'm out.

The only joke in here is putting ESO in the same sentence with WoW or GW2. ESO became a ghost town and moved to B2P before a year passes and once again its almost a ghost town. Especially after console release population is in very low lvls once again.

{| class="blockquote"
soo...like this game then.

Entity is no ghost town...although no mmo should only have 1 popular server, even if they are "megaservers"
