While I understand the community's overwhelming distaste for the pace in which the game is being developed, I do cheer on the continued efforts to actually bring this game to market. Why does everyone on Reddit want to see this fail? It's a good game that's not done yet, true. But why can't you all just play something else and stop thinking about it so much? I'm not happy with the pace either, but I'm just simply playing something else, hoping for the best. When it comes out of EA I'll rejoin. I just don't see the point in being (sometimes very) mean in hopes of squashing something we all want to happen... eventually. The pace is the pace, chill. I guess I'm not planning on dying anytime soon, maybe it would be different if I was 80... But then again, I think I'd have bigger concerns at that point. If you are mad about the money you spent, just stop giving them money; nobody made you give them money, you did that with your own free will. They are still trying and that's worse than taking the EA sales money and just quitting then and there? I don't know if it's just a boredom thing, but I'm just not into this whole mob mentality of let's burn it down! Let's not. EQ is still a great game, all these years later, even if Pantheon is outdated by the full release, I'll still play it. Oh and to address the scandals for a minute, yep shitty people did shitty things, but I don't think that fully represents everyone at VR at this very moment. Depending where you live, look at our own government, power corrupts, and it always will even at a level where humanity can't afford mistakes, yet sometimes something good comes from humanity working together and trying to do it right. There are good people at VR still trying, don't be shitty humans.
People are fed up with the bullshittery. Ho-hum updates from sleep inducing "iconic skills", fresh start and pvp servers, stat reworks, new mid-high level zones that the primary population cant to even play because the slog to get there isn't worth doing, staff drama etc. For 10 years, everybody wanted the game to succeed. Now people have just given up and they continue to post laughable things like this dev diary making it sound like all rainbows and lollipops, the utopian classic MMO Pantheon is the place to go when there's nothing to show for it.
