As long as they are restricted to volunteer work, paying out of their own pockets and donations, anything as is would be welcome, and anything further would be much appreciated. Seems a tad entitled to call out "volunteers" as lazy, but maybe you are just being facetious, let's assume that. You could be the change, though! How much have you donated, or worked for the devs? I haven't done a thing, so I enjoy what I get and remain thankful. 7 3 1
Glacier Peak Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Wow, what a sensational title! I'm sure you'll get plenty of drama in response. Can you go ahead and name any other entertainment product run by volunteers, free to play, updated at all (let alone after the property was sunsetted or with the steady frequency of page releases here on Homecoming), and has more than two people playing it? I'd really love to read about that game so I can understand how you feel so entitled to expect that out of this community. Go ahead - I'll wait. 3 3 1 1 I lead weekly Indom Badge Runs / A newer giant monster guide by Glacier Peak / A tour of Pocket D easter eggs! / Arena All-Star Accolade Guide! Best Post Ever....
TheZag Posted January 17 Posted January 17 This dude really needs to become a beta tester so he can see development is still proceeding and not be allowed to talk about it. 3 2

Coyotedancer Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Some people would complain if they didn't have anything to complain about. The game's here. We get to play it without a subscription fee. Anything else that comes along is just extra icing on the cake. 4 Taker of screenshots. Player of creepy Oranbegans and Rularuu bird-things. Kai's Diary: The Scrapbook of a Sorcerer's Apprentice
Etched Posted January 17 Posted January 17 I hear WoW is lookin for players and they'll be happy as hell to charge you for every update and to even play their game. You should go check them out so we don't have to listen to you whine every other day. Might want to buy a better computer before you do. @Etched 2

If a crew of devs/volunteers didn't get any negative feedback they would just continue to think they are doing great. As many posts before this, I think the game and server overall are great, however, the lack of new content and nothing being addressed about it is concerning. They need to see posts like this for the health of the game. 1 1

PeregrineFalcon Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Got bored during your vacation from the forums? FYI, "I don't like a combo system being added to this powerset for this reason" is negative feedback. "The devs are lazy" is just you being a d***. There's a difference. 5 1 1 Being constantly offended doesn't mean you're right, it means you're too narcissistic to tolerate opinions different than your own.
cranebump Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Alright, who unlocked the high chair again? 6 I have done a TON of AE work, both long form and single arc. Just search the AE mish list for my sig @cranebump. For more information on my stories, head to the AE forum sub-heading and look for “Crane’s World.” Support your AE authors! We ARE the new content.

I'm being blunt, to the point, and maybe a bit cranky, but I'm not cussing people out or threatening anybody. Not sure why you're even thinking that extreme. Edited January 17 by eldriyth 1

I'd love to read about what kind of update schedule they've had over the past few years - care to share that? Perhaps the types of content that you've found meets your expectations, what constitutes as not lazy? Maybe pick up that microphone you dropped and have a conversation? 1 I lead weekly Indom Badge Runs / A newer giant monster guide by Glacier Peak / A tour of Pocket D easter eggs! / Arena All-Star Accolade Guide!
