[Eighty Swords]

Camaron I know you're only trying to help, but I think the staff understand what the players are asking for. Here's what I see people asking for, and what the staff are doing about it.


1) Some people want all skills to be made easier.
Taran said there will be no changes made to skillgain as he, and other staff members feel the skills are fine as they are, and even that they're too easy.


2) Some people are asking that skills like magery, meditation, resisting spells, healing, etc be made easier to train, and the other skills stay as they are.
Taran said there will be no changes made to skillgain as he, and other staff members feel the skills are fine as they are, and even that they're too easy.

Obviously I have no control over anything, but I feel if enough people were to agree on making these skills a little easier then maybe the staff would be willing to do this change. You have to admit that getting these skills made easier would be better then nothing.


3) More staff
Taran has already said he is looking into the staff situation. Presumably he meant he will be hiring more staff or replacing the truly inactive ones. Nobody here can say which staff are and aren't active since none of us play 24 hours.


4) Changes made to hunting like some easier monsters, slightly increased loot.
I haven't really seen the staff comment on this, other then maka when he said something like "if players can find the right monsters then that's a problem".


5) More players
Nobody can snap their fingers or click their heels together to make more people appear. It is up to us, the players, to make this happen. Tell your friends, log in, do something random ingame, anything to just have something happen for 5 minutes.

Before the server came out of beta we were usually around 30 players and lots of people were saying "if IN:X reaches 50 players i'll play". So many people were saying this that if they all played we would have been at 50-60 players, not 30. Now we are at 40-50 players and people are saying "if IN:X reaches 60-70 players i'll play". What's next? When we get to 60-70 players people will be asking for 100 players before they play?

All skills except crafts are already easy. I made a character from scratch just to test it out. Using around 2000gp I had GM anatomy, eval int, healing, magic resist, swords, tactics and meditation in about 48h.

I'm not sure how you got all that done in just ~48 hours. It took me ~50 hours just to do evaluating intelligence and anatomy...

Camaron, most of the people in your list have PvP ready characters anyway. What do they have to complain about? Skillgain is not the problem. Everyone hears you, some just don't agree with you. There is a difference.

That's the thing, Camaron is asking for easier skillgain to encourage new players, not to benefit himself!





I've tried acting as an intermediary trying to help get things accomplished but I'm fed up with everyone demanding that things be done only their way. If 30 people ask for 30 different things nothing will get changed. If 30 people all ask for 1 thing maybe it will get changed. Since nobody is willing to make any compromises you can all enjoy arguing with each other because I've had enough of this crap and people trying to get every staff member fired because they are gone for a week. Everyone thinks they can do a better job then the people doing it now, but until you have done it you don't realize the amount of work being put in.

Enjoy the useless arguing, flaming, and hating on staff because I've had enough of it and it won't get you anywhere.
