This is where I say goodbye to Wildstar and note that all my following words are purely of my opinion and I do not speak for anyone else.
 
I started Wildstar during beta and enjoyed it all up til a little into strain ultra drop.
I sadly do not feel the game's direction is what I could keep myself going on into, especially it's love for RNG.
 
I loved the levelling process, I loved the humor, I loved my warrior class but...
 
1. PVP = Walatiki, bots, afkers. (Enough said.)
 
2. Dailies
At first one daily zone was fine, then strain came, and I had to do, more daily zones, daily 'raids' and all that, I was expecting more for the game's endgame than
just dailying it up til raid. Don't we already have enough frustrations trying to gear up? See below.
 
3. Adventures. (Yes they changed the reliance on gold and made it into a worse RNG)
WOTW gold = a gamble.
Sure, people would ask why do I focus so much on gold? Maybe because I really needed the upgrades from it?
Maybe because my friends and I are blued up and wanted to get our purples before we try dungeoning?
Either way it turned people off. I had friends who got their stuff and NEVER want to step into WOTW to try for gold again.
Sure it has changed now but, I've friends who did the new "System" and received ALL blues, despite getting gold.
Well done.
 
4. Costumes.
I love costumes, and seeing all the npcs get cool stuff and I get weird stuff.. Seriously..
Strain costume, meh. Eldan costume, kinda alright, Raidin' costume, whatever..
The lack of costume, the trouble to dye them, the trouble to get the dyes at ridiculous costs or 
ONCE AGAIN RNG it up with boom-freakin'-boxes. 
Sure vanity should be pricey, but really I was expecting more diversity, since I ain't getting diversity 
from gear, it's all retextured stuff from a limited pool of equipment. Nevermind being able to costume up
any armor design, the pool of original models is limited enough.
 
5. Hairstylists
Do not exist even when they were asked for long long time ago.
 
6. The ridiculous grind to get armor smithing up.
Really, the silly once a day, for fourteen to twenty days just to unlock a gear to craft..
REALLY?! I felt like the game was purposely trying to slow me down.
 
7. HARDCORE
The game's attempt to sell itself as 'hardcore' just downright pisses me off.
It split the community, it made some people feel like they aren't up for it, it alienated others from wanting to try,
but in the end, it's all RNG hell. Crafting RNG, Gold run RNG, gear drop RNG (Runes and all, not referring to the drop rates)
The definition of hardcore is no longer about skill, it's about slogging through all the RNG to eventually get
the best in slot.
 
8 Boom-Boxes
The saddest excuse for an initial attempt at apology and rewarding us.
Making us login once a day for 70 days at a game of roulette where you mostly get really silly and pointless
crap, once in awhile, a costume piece to which I really do not care for.. 
We're sorry, now we give you a reason to stay 5 more days to gamble with us! With BOOM-BOXES.
That is how it felt to me. Once again, more pointless RNG.
 
 
I however give props to the devs for trying to make monthly new content, however, the new content
just feels like baiting, initially through all the ads of strain ultra drop, I was freaking excited. Then it end up
being just more daily zones. The story was 'kinda' alright, once again, just trying to fill an empty hole with
air, don't quite cut it for me.
 
I feel there has to be more actual, solid content, the game launched unprepared and as such
I'm leaving for better pastures. As to what game I've left for, that is something I will leave unsaid
since I do not wish to bring up an argument over this.
 
 
Note: Some things might have updated and changed, if so, I apologize for the late goodbye post. 
 
Note II: If the devs are listening, maybe my feedback could help you make the game better for everyone
            else. Or, I might just be uttering rubbish!
 
For those who stayed and are staying, as long as you enjoy it, props to you and keep havin' fun!
that's what gaming is about ain't it? It ain't fun for me but I hope this may shed some light to the
devs, maybe.. !

Have fun and enjoy whereever you go. Sorry the game wasn't to you're liking, but least you gave it a go.
Take care, be safe, and remember to have fun! :(
 
Farewell

			Thanks! <3

Enjoy what ever entertainment options you find down the road, good luck and god speed..
 
BTW,
 
Can I have your stuff?

Is the RNG what people call hard-core?
 
Y'all must have never played FFXI. That game was hard core (well it was, few years ago it got a bit easier).

			Might want to come back a few months down the road to check the game again, they should have added more content and change stuff.

			The whole point of RNG in games is to make it so you dont always get the perfect item, you have to keep trying for it. This, in my opinion, gives more longetivity to the game, because people always know there is something better out there.

<3 FFXI. Up until the 75-90 cap increase, it was a tremendously difficult game (and also far more RNG riddled than W*). Most of that difficulty came from the extreme grinding, the preposterous coordination requirements, and the requirements of both of those at the same time to get literally anything done.
 
How many times did I have to kill Leaping Lizzy before getting my Leaping boots? Couldn't tell ya; before the BoP nerf I never once obtained them in over 300 kills. (2 years worth of camping)

How about the fact that you could lose levels if you died? Man. That was a punishing game. Still loved it, somehow.

Hey OP - 
 
Thanks for the valuable feedback, and we're sad to see you go OP. Thanks for your forum participation. We hope that you find what you're looking for. And, in the future, do come back around again to see if our game progression once again meets your needs.
