Sadly I cannot upvote anymore today, so here, have this:
ahh the ages old ags response. You specifically said the same things about most criticism and suggestions during the alphas of the game years before launch, and here we are, same dance to the same tune.

You can be a crafter, but you have to farm HWM for 4 hours a day first…

It really doesn’t matter what they think about us, it only matters what we think about them and the product they are peddling.
…and then hope for a regular group to do the toughest expeditions, so you can get the mats you need for crafting.
Play the sandbox, just follow the rules the sandbox works!
At this point, NW is the first and will be the last game of AGS I have bought.
As all my friends have stopped playing weeks ago, I do not feel that sorry about that step.

I think they think we mean that your GS will be reset to 500 PERMANENTLY…we know that’s not the case…they do not understand the argument really.
Almost had a few of my guys who walked away talked back into coming back. They read these patch notes and it slammed the door on that. Probably done myself.
Completely invalidates all my crafting efforts drastically weakens my character which is a tank so it greatly reduces my survivability meaning I have to step down the content I do lowering my chance at WM upgrade even more.
Anyone who spends tens of thousands of gold crafting BOP Expedition armor/weapons is getting screwed far worse than any other crafter as we had no chance for profit off these items and had to gather them from the expeditions themselves.

we have all seen that. not the discussion currently. read the thread.
Basically if you exploited/duped your way to 600HWM then your set and will have a huge advantage over everyone else for months to come. If you played normally then you will be set back months compared to the exploiters/dupers. Amazon showing who they are catering for.
Exactly the same as what happened with crafting already.

Yeah, my friends said “maybe in a year” … wasted money.
Instead of releasing the game with well thought out mechanics and a real endgame, all they do is implementing artificial roadblocks and “mobile like” time- gating in order to stretch content- instead of owning the fact they pushed out too early like the NMS devs or the FFXIV devs.
Too much corporate speech, not enough ownership of their actions. Must present a clean sheet for the stakeholders.

Okay where are we getting the " If you are a crafter you wasted hundreds of hours and the people who grinded HWM are rewarded" ??
I genuinely might of missed where this is stated?
No. For someone that has played MMOs for 25 years you have to know that this statement is so patently hyperbolic that it can’t be taken seriously, and people are going to take that and twist it to make you entire statement untrue. That is a shame because in general you are correct.
Could you poll the community for feedback on a prioritized update schedule?
Legit never seen any active queries from AGS to figure out a community consensus on the pressing issues.
WM is not being reset, where do you guys see that?
name one grind in mmo history that was more stupid than opening chests on a 23h timer or camping the same boss with 25+ ppl for hours
There are 12 guys in my company including myself. only about 4 of us left who are active. We have all been gaming together for over a decade and when we have that many walk away from a game we all play together that means it has issues.
Rule number one of any game don,t change the rules during the game.
It has nothing to do with instant gratififcation it has all to do with that people have been playing the game under the ruleset that has been pressent so far. If they change the rules in this way they will make a lot of peoples choises on how they played the game useless. A lot off people never liked the mind numbing elite running to raise HWM so they crafted traded grinded their way up to gear in ways the ruleset made possible. Now people are being forced to regain what they already achieved in ways a lot of people don,t enjoy. Do i think HWM is a bad system as it is right now? Yes i do but taking away what people already have and make them grind it back up to it,s current form is just the worst option unless you want people to quit a game.

I mean camping the same boss has been a thing in mmorpgs for a while…
Regardless its all a time waste. You do X or Y activity over and over for hours/weeks to gain the highest tier loot the game offers.
I dont care how cool a dungeon is in WoW, when you ran it 20 times its not entertaining anymore.
