I wish I was wrong, but I'm afraid this will most likely be totally futile and they will ignore this thread like it didn't happen.
Also I don't know if this was mentioned by anyone (don't have time to read all the replies) but most players would like to be able to customize their skills to some extent, like moving a skill to another key, or disable more than 5 skills (it's currently limited to 5). Some people use xml edits just for "quality of life" and essentially harmless stuff, and personally I don't think that's bad, thats why i think it should be a feature of the game itself.
But other players use xml edits to auto-escape in battlegrounds, to avoid wipes in dungeons with the widely known "jetpack", etc.
And this is just about XML edits.
Then there's cheat engine, which almost everyone has been using in the past dungeon challenge for no-gravity (in addition to the jetpack aswell before it was removed in the UE3 client) to get more orbs and therefore more points.
This is ridiculous.
No serious or respectable company would have any of their games in such an embarrassing status, where players do whatever they want, and without consequences.
And i'm pretty sure that in the end all of this ends up in a loss of money for ncsoft (since thats all you probably care about... but idk if you don't realize or what). Because people decide to stop paying rl money (me, for example), a lot of people just quit, a lot more who could've heard of this game don't even start playing at all when they are told that the game is as ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ up as it is.
There's not much else to say. Just that it's really depressing that an awesome MMO like bns is being managed like this.
We the players would really appreciate that you guys showed at least a little transparency and honesty, but that really never seems to happen.
Sad.
