Does anyone else feel like everything in Wildstar is a ridiculous money sink? Between runes, more slots, repairs, etc - leaving out all the costumes, housing poo poo, mounts, flair, and all of that, I feel like I am perpetually broke.

Cyster if you follow this thread at all, find someone and gently make the suggestion that amps and ability tier points should be purchasable via glory.

Right now the most time efficient way to get them us to grind pvp. The elder gem cap makes PVE unviable.

EDIT: really anything to alleviate the 50 grinds, specifically runeslots/ability tier and amps. Runes isn't completely horrible, but ability tier/amps is just obnoxious when leveling an alt.

Ironically I don't think the goons who got conned by a (now former) CM to moving to a new PVP server during launch are still posting. They have the most reason to be angry since the server was a ghost town within a month.

Objectively, the game is terrible. You can stomach through it but once you hit level cap, like all MMOs, there is lovely end game content.

The slog to level cap isn't fun either. Its repetitive bullshit you find in WoW or hundreds of other mmos like it.

I, like probably a million other idiots, rather waste our time or money playing a new poo poo mmo hoping it has staying power and isn't total poo poo than waste our time on an already dead game that proved to be poo poo.

Banned for speaking the truth I assume? I've got a total of 20 accounts for Reddit, so I'm not upset at the ban at all.

I am a "tiny bit" curious as to what the thinking is on these bans. Because 18 seconds after I lose one account I have another. It can't be stopped by IP in a million years since there are trillions of IPs I can and will use.

Are the bans to make YOU feel like you're "cleaning up the community?" Is it because you disagree with me so you retaliate the best and only way you know how? Are you paid by ..well never Carbine can't afford to pay anyone, NCSoft doesn't care..so scratch that idea.

Why bother "policing" text in a gaming forum where, In America free speech still has a place until the democrats and Obama hand it over to the Syrians and ISIS to turn this country is a Muslim loving poo poo hole.

Not only does he have to have all those usernames and passwords written down. But some subreddits won't even show your posts until you have positive karma. So he has to maintain the appearance of 20 reddit accounts. Pretty sure it'd be easier to just not post really dumb poo poo then avoiding a reddit username ban.

What was his post that got him banned?

Yes, the game is dying. Yes this is the 2nd launch out of desperation, yes PvP is horrible, Yes Carbine hates PvP.. yes the PvE crowd is terrible at PvP and the community is horrible. PvE being the sad priority destroyed the other half of the player base that NEVER SAID A WORD. THEY JUST QUIT THE GAME.

Wildstar PVP is just awful though. It's "See how many telegraphs can overlap" the game. 1 on 1 can be interesting, 2 on 2 can be interesting, but once numbers start going higher it all becomes a clusterfuck of overlapping telegraphs.

I saw mention a little while ago that the low level PVP brackets (Waliki Temple especially) are almost entirely dominated by bots, and Carbine still can't figure out what to do about it.

The idea of no one left but bots duking it out over those drat masks is just magical. :allears:
