Recently seething off of a 300g loss from Aguru changing the price of Building permits to 50g from 100g (which is pretty much in the same ball park as the Thunderstruck Tree situation that AA is known for, minus the p2w aspect ofc), I'm left thinking of what "positives" does this server offer me and I weighed it up:
- Everyday I get to enjoy the deilghts of the discord community, which consists of trolls and spammers, that is promoted by Aguru. If he's not talking about how depressed or fed up he is, he'll be taking extremely simple questions to problems and casually enjoying gen z emotes because it's easy + he can look cool (especially when he adds everyday mature words, such as "stfu" or "retard").
- A hypocritical stance by owners on this server being for everyone, when him and his team decided on, with a massive population sized global server effort, to make land not require a subscription at the very least in an attempt to reduce it from mmo lightweights just trying it out (a hardcore mmo). They were very much happy to risk the dedicated efforts of actual mmo players to make this game "free for all", when infact we're just going through a culling procedure that they definetly want, no fucking doubt about it! I mean you can see that from Aguru's stance on people making a massive shit pile from Halycona for the NPC and all he could say was "too many people" as many lost out on Warrior's medals.
- A non existant roadmap and absolutely zero fucks given on the lack of skill/class diversity that standard Archeage 3.0 brings. Shadowplay having Shadowstep is ridiculous (checkmate to assassin melee's), Auramancy Thwart being a slow (checkmate to assassin melee's), Occultism being pretty much unappealing to non magery, Witchcraft being LITERALLY unappealing to non magery and Archery being, pretty much a wet willy in comparison to Magery and BattleRage. I mean there's a lot to talk of in regards to basic fundamental gameplay that can be corrected and was corrected in later versions but seriously, why play a server that is going to turn stagnant and boring in terms of gameplay and diversity over the long run.
- And the owner's latest "this is just like a person complaining about a sale that they missed". Archeage doesn't have ingame gold sale discount events (besides enchanting reduction costs that people would do say for library based gear), they have discounts on boxes and whatever else is in their marketplace. I can appreciate Aguru trying to sort out the land situation by reducing the number of titles needed to sell land to 1 but reducing gold costs is a Will Smith bitch slap to the people who focused on making money, they could of been monging on Hasla token farming or doing greater dungeon runs instead of slaving away instead of having to make 300 more gold. If the owner's are going to be doing completely random ass events, for the "World of Warcraft dungeon spamming normie who doesn't bother playing the economy" lets say, then it is in fact biased towards a style of play and that you should be just farming away at mobs or dungeons and become a purse opener only (as they may decide to randomly bring the server down without notice and disrupt peace zones, nerfing the trade pack player considerably).
I spent an Ayanad Launch pack, I made a mistake clearly and I think this can go in the dog pile along with Diablo 4.
Unless 300g is compensated toward everyone who invested in build permits before the update + an understanding view from Aguru on all the points I mentioned (including the mess that discord is! + your 15 minute post delay timers aren't a fucking correction!) then I do consider this server unnacceptable and simply a troll like attempt of a server that is apparently.....
"for everyone".
