Almost 10 years down. Still the same gripes (legit ones, though) as there always has been. When EOC was at 500, the same types of threads were made about lack of consistent content. It's kind of been the thing in FS over the years. Hell, if content only rolls out 2x a year at 150 levels a piece, that would be an improvement, at least. It used to be 10 level blocks! While I can see the concern, there's quite a bit more that I'd like to see before content.
Arena needs attention. Or dismantling. Or a nuke.
SE's are dead. Titans, too - other than the seasonals.
Quest arcs are not only incomplete, but some have gone years without a finish line.
Scavenging is a waste (unless you're Hades, lol).
Ladder has never been right.
Globals are already stale.
Inventing...What's that? Gear is nothing but frags, after all.
That's a list I came up with in 2 minutes, and no sleep for days. Others here who are way smarter than me could do much better, I'm sure.
I won't pretend to know what it's like as a developer or programmer. However, when your highest grossing game every year gets less and less attention so you can roll out other games really makes little sense to me. I know a smidgen about business, and letting your bread and butter flounder in order to roll out other unproven projects can't be a good model.
Now, I'm not upset like some folks are. In fact, I don't particularly care. If FS folded today, I'd be bummed - but my life would go on without a hitch. I sometimes go weeks without logging in, anyway. I do understand players frustrations, though. I think sometimes you guys at HCS take these threads as personal attacks, but they're not generally meant that way. Players just want something to do, is all. Then, at Christmas, we have so much to do in a 2 week span that it can't all possibly get done. Feast or famine, man. There's no in between.
