"Streamlined leveling"...

The guy implied his time was too valuable to waste. If it's truly that valuable, then surely he has better things to do with it than play a computer game. If playing a computer game is something he likes to do with his free time, then none of it is a "waste" and he has no reason to complain about his time being wasted.

Point is, he has no leg to stand on.

Obviously you have enough free time to play the game and post in the forums. As do I. Luck, good or bad, has nothing to do with it. It's a choice.

Yeah, I'm sure I wield that much influence.

Should I be flattered you think so?

If being "efficient" is how you have fun, go for it. You seem to be implying that if someone does not play the way you play, they can't be "actually having fun." Can we get a detailed recipe from you about to "actually have fun?"

You're spending this supposedly valuable time of yours playing a computer game, a truly frivolous activity. Since you are spending this time of yours engaging in such a frivolous activity, your time can't possibly be all that valuable.

It's not the devs, it's the marketing department. They probably have this "grand scheme" to release the content in dribs and drabs right up until the launch of KotFE to build up "anticipation" in the hope stuff goes "viral".

When in reality, all they're doing is annoying the hell out of a proportion of the players who would prefer more frequent and "open" communication coming from BioWare - and not just for KotFE stuff. This has been going on for quite a while now, I'm a little surprised they seem to think their approach "works", when in fact it doesn't work well at all in terms of building a strong cohesive community around a game.

No doubt some bod who has a degree in something or another, with little to no experience in how to handle gaming communities. Possibly one of the reasons we've seen people like "pokket" come and go, they didn't agree with how the BioWare "marketing" team directed things in such a terrible fashion.

But hey, what do we know, we're just the ones that pay their wages.

A very small portion of the player base: the inveterate complainers.

Cite source for numbers, you have to know how many players play the game, as well as the number of players not liking the approach BioWare takes to marketing to come up with a "small proportion" of players.

well, i can say particularly dont care for their marketing of this new expansion and the lack of concrete information...especially since we have the flaps down, wheels out, cleared for landing, and on approach to runway 1019.

How many players post on the forums? How many of those are habitual Chicken Littles? Unless you think the game has like 100 total players, that's "a small portion of a small portion."

How many?

Approximately 3,720 to 1.

Oh wait, that's the odds of successfully navigating an asteroid field.

How many people do you think play the game? I believe Eric Musco posted many, many months back that his guesstimate was that 5% of players use the forums. I may be mis-remembering, so don't take that as authoritative. And I don't recall if he meant that number to refer to readers or just posters.

NEVER TELL ME THE ODDS!
