The current dev leadership needs to be replaced asap. These dev leads have proven over and over and over that they are incapable of creating a great game and utilizing its potential. To no ones surprise brimstone and fss was a failure, not because brimstone or fss was bad, but because the developers consistently fail to properly q.a. test their game. They consistently fail to allocate resources to make the game run better, to update core gameplay features like pvp (no new pvp for a year). Instead they choose to waste resources on new dungeons and other nontent, while new dungeons are nice, there are far more important matters that need addressing immediately. The number of issues needing attention are vast but rest assured it has been mentioned 100s if not thousands of times to the developers on the forums. Basic features that have been asked for since the first few months only to be told devs are wasting their time on something else.
To no ones surprise dupes and exploits run rampant, and while ags is fast at work perma banning all the exploiters you have to wonder, are you just going to be content perma banning what remains of your playerbase or are you actually going to accept responsibility for your failures? These exploits are your own fault and you lash out at your community each time they occur. And you are then forced to waste precious resources locating the exploiters, fixing the dupe only to create another bug. The whole point of fss was to prove to returning players you got things figured out but you just so clearly dont. They left yet again and deservedly so, the quality of leadership is unacceptable and will be the downfall of a game we all love if something is not done quickly.
