First of all im arguing and dont try to convince everybody. Anyway, when something obviously is bad, no one likes it and some people try hard to blandish even the worst things its at least from my point of view whiteknighting.
Regarding your accusation i would attack some of the mods. Well it might look like i do, i know they cant change anything and they can only write what they have been told to.
Anyway, reading the same bullshit like "We aprecciate your feedback" or "We care about you" since the game was released and seeing that nothing happens, made them lost all of their credibility and trustworthiness.
They (NC-West /NC-Soft) dont care, they dont appreciate our feedback, they are not transparent nor do they properly communicate. they just dont give a crap about the community. There is only one thing wich is importent, that cash continue to flow. Thats what im critizising and thats why i told some moderators they lost all of their credibility and thrustworthiness.
Actually the best example about how much they care about the community ist the removment of Ascession Ston fragments from Daily.
There are many postings where People ask about this topic, whether it was intended or whether it is a bug. When it was intenden how they think we should be able to do our dailys un HM and so on.
These questions came up right after the patch. While they in fact adressed the problem with the difficult in the new "Easy"Mode they havent answered any question about the removment of the Ascession stone fragments. They just avoid this topic and silence it to oblivion as they did with many other topics in the past.
I dont blame the Moderators personaly but they are sadly the only ones to adress.
Regarding my statement about Cyan, well i still think his statement
is a brash insult to the community.
On lifestream they stated "Easymode is significantly easier to run, much faster, blabla" I didnt found the timemark on the recording of the livestream but anyway in this video below you will find the relevant part from the stream at about 0:50min. They also justified the goldreduction with this significantly reduced, much faster and much easier to run dungeons.
So telling the people one thing, while doing a complet different thing and and on top of that blaming us, to misslead what they stated on stream and what they used to justify the goldreduction, is more than a bold insolence
Watsh and listen closley what they said at about 0:50
I hope this answers your question even it was quite off topic and im quite sure to get a warning for it, but at this point i dont care anymore anyway. If they want to ban my gameaccount to they should give me a warning so i can gift my tradable mats and gold to some random "lowies"
Edit: Well ok this patch had at least a few positive aspects.
1. i saw Keroppi ranting in chineese
2. Eckogen just Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee'ed
3. Jarke did a nice objective rant
4. EvilDoUsHarm did a wonderful ironical summery of the patch that made me laugh so hard
