Dhalin- its not that I disagree with what you`ve said
but (
)
- lets discuss the word choice:
"Eliteplayers"- I know those from other games, and I dare to say, that Istaria does not have such players, cause the game is not designed for that. Lets stay with the word " Veteranplayer".
And then there is no reason that someone says "I`m better than you are".
Only thing one could say is "I know more about the game, I have achieved more than you" But who would say so- and if- nothing bad about it ,
cause its natural.
Anyway-I have never heard one or the other
So why do vets complain faster and louder if it comes to changes or what they feel are nerfs?
Because they know more about the game than the average/casual players.
Because they have much more to loose than the average/casual players.
They loose things they have worked for hours, months or even years.
They are proud of what they possess and proud of what they`ve achieved.
They do not want to loose it.
Nothing wrong with that. Its natural- again.
One point I agree with you 100%: Threatening to push the "quit button" is not the solution.
Making suggestions, pointing out where probs might arise (from certain changes), discussing and looking for compromises- and -most important-
give the compromise a try- this is what I expect from a vet player.
From the dev`s side I expect that they provide us with informations early enough- so that is time for discussion which will, on the other hand, provide the devs with important infos too.
And I expect that out- of- favor changes will be explained and why they are necessary for the progress of the game.
