Dear Dev's, Carbine Studios and Forum Goers.I wanted to take a time out from the constant incessant complaining I've noticed on the forums about how bad this is, how badly that was done, how this is broken, Why I'm bored - to bring some positivity to you all.I'm going to start with the normal "When I first heard about it" spiel, with a twist. As an avid WoW gamer for a decade, I pretty much laughed in the face of many MMO's that claimed or were labelled as "WoWKillers" because - frankly, they looked so lackluster, whilst promising SOOOOOOOO much, they spent so much time building the leveling side, that when you got to the maximum level, there was nothing to do, and without the following patches quick enough, or just fullstop - the player base deserted them and went back to the wonderful world of Azeroth, generally.
 
I'll admit, I didn't hear much about Wildstars until about, 2 months ago? maybe 3. When I first heard about it was basically on the day of launch, and again! I'll admit, I wasn't actually too fussed about Wildstars, I looked into it a little - didn't think it was for me - Until one fateful day when I went and visited my brother, who plays Wildstar. I took some convincing, but after watching him get absolutely annihilated by this little furry with a tail that went stealth? I had to try it.I jumped onto his Draken Stalker, with next to NO information about the game apart from pretty much the promotional video (which, I laughed and laughed at - I love your humour Carbine) and I absolutely loved it. After 3 PVP matches on TERRIBLE Australian ping, on ADSL1 - I was ripping it up, enjoying the UI and enjoying the game - Guess what, I was hooked. The next paycheck - I bought my game, I didn't even have my gaming computer yet, but I had this bloody game waiting on my shelf, taunting me to play it for about a month.Finally, the day came - my new rig was up and running. No sooner had I installed windows, I was installing Wildstars. The most frustrating part about the game? The time it took to Install. I got home from work at around 6:30pm - and was so excited to install it, but sat there until around 1am when It had about 20% left and had to go to bed.The next day, I cried as I left for work - but, you gotta do, what you gotta do to get a dollar. So, I worked as hard as I could through the day to make sure my time went quickly, so I could get home to play. 8 hours of work later, an hour and a half of commuting home, and I was ready to go. I had my sub set up, my deluxe edition upgrade and I was absolutely jumping out of my skin to get going.Character creation - I went that damn fuzzy stealthing bunny, I found out to be named Aurin, I jumped in and started playing, the graphics, well done. The humour? Amazing. The UI? Buggy, but still great. The more I play, the more I get addicted. BAM! Level 10 - Crafting comes along, but I get this warning from my brother "Bro, dude, man...This crafting? NOTHING like you've ever had before...give it a chance, and get past the learning curve - you'll do fine". The screen popped up - I spent gold I didn't have because I thought I had to learn these skills (which turned out to be patterns I couldn't learn) - That was it, I'll let you in on a little secret. In real life, I'm pretty tight with my money...but IN GAMES? I'm so tight, you couldn't get water in if you had a fire hose held right against it.Needless to say, after some trials and tribulations - I had figured this out. I then spent pretty much a WHOLE day just crafting before I realized "Well, crap. I'm hooked on this AS WELL" anyway - skip forward a week until now. I'm nearly level 25. I've played level 50's. I've done dungeons and I've done PVP, the only thing missing from my experience is the raiding.I want to congratulate Carbine, on their amazing game. I'm in love, your game is my mistress, and my partner is damn jealous of it. There has been so much bickering about the game, you guys nerfed stuff when you should have done this and that and the other. If you can continue to keep patching, and fixing the bugs, and balancing stuff out - you'll have my subscription for a long time. My only criticism? An actual oceanic server would be amazing, and set you apart from the other MMO's such as WoW. If we Aussies could play this game on 25ms like we can LoL for example - we would be absolutely esctatic.TL;DR?Thank you for an amazing game, keep doing what you're doing. Keep fixing the bugs, I understand it will take time.To the negative people who will comment - Rome wasn't built in a day. Have some faith in a company that has done pretty fricking well so far.
