Rankyn Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 It's not really clear what your beef is.Let me try to translate: "I am outraged that this game I pay to play and sort of like has adopted a business model that, when it comes right down to it, only affects me as much as I choose to allow it to but has allowed the company that makes it to continue providing me with entertainment that I kind of enjoy. I am further enraged that a product related to the aforementioned game that, again, doesn't affect me if I choose to ignore it, is being offered at a discount price by a retailer that is unaffiliated with the developer of said game."

Rafaman Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 *yawn* Same old, same old. Wonder what year 3 will bring? I mean if you spend 2 years playing a game you don't like... what will year 3 possibly be like? Put it another way... it has taken you 2 years to realize you don't like this game?

branmakmuffin Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) I think it's Grade A. Carved from my spleen with a spoon.

Nope, i'm just disappointed that bioware chose to put resources into making cartel market stuff than actual gameplay stuff. If people enjoy using the CM thats fine by me, i just wish that bioware made a different form of entertainment for people to put their time into, like i said actual gameplay.

They do - all the content I've been enjoying playing over the last 2 years has been apart from the cartel market. Maybe stop focusing on the cartel market stuff and actually play the game.

Technically they do, with operations, warzones, daily zones and blah blah like that. Giving away additional virtual currency has no impact on the game play and the Cartel Market is just cosmetic stuff that has no real statistical value. It's all just for looks. If you want real value weapons and armors, you have to play the game and earn Commendations or run Operations and Warzones for loot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandicus Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 and you had to write that to let us all know? Why post here then? dont like it, dont play it, simple. Your response made no sense at all. Here, I'll restate the question. Why did you make a new account instead of lodging your complaints on your old account? If you don't answer, I'll make the rational assumption that you were either outright lying in your first post(which makes it rather impossible to hold any genuine discussions) or had a ruined reputation on your original account and so paid for a second one to try to get the forum community to take you more seriously. For everyone else reading, neither is an advisable thing to do. People generally don't care about when you started playing when it comes to discussing the game. They'll reject or agree with your statements based on their own personal preferences, not that you were an OMGFounder(no offense to all you other founders out there) or a newb to the game. Regarding creating new accounts, as long as your name is not inherently insulting/bashing(which will get an immediate reaction regardless of attitude change), if you're civil towards other posters they'll generally be civil towards you, even if past behavior has been overly aggressive. We've got plenty of other posters who've been very angry or ranty at certain points, but are treated just like everyone else when they put a well-written opinion out for discussion.
