Am I the only one?

Post by Laughing »

So after all the hacking scares, and people flipping out, threatening to quit, bomb joymax, and so on and so forth...Am I the only one who's business as usual?

I don't slather my IGN all over the forums, noone knows my login information, and I don't brag about being loaded with suns and billions of gold (which Im not for the record, by the way)

I buy a GT every month, silk items out the wazoo, and I still enjoy the game for what it is. I don't flip out every time I see a bot, or bitch about spam on globals, and I think If alot of players just accept that some things aren't going to change they can get back to enjoying the game and not complaining 24/7.

If its that bad, and your threatening to stop playing, just shit or get off the pot already.

Well, thats either horrible luck, or his IGN matched his login name. And if that was the case, he practically gave out his id without realizing it.

i wonder if its lonely up there on your crappy high horse....

No your not special, no your not the only one, no your not the calm center in this hurricane of turmoil

If you basically PTP this game (and you do since you buy a ticket every month) you should expect much more customer support. Either you make enough money where the money spent online is pointless or your not spending your own money either way its a waste of time and $$ if you don't care how its spent and how your playing experience is....

Regular day for me : \
Except i was out in takla and a guy dropped a cape so i picked it up and put it on. Then he put his on and started running after me And he was like "RRAAWWRRR" and i was like "aahhhh!!!" and he was like "RRAAWWRRR" and i was like "aaahhhh!!!". Then i said to myself "Wait a minute, i have grasswalk and phantom walk" so i turned on my grasswalk and i started pulling away from him. I could tell he was tired because he started doing some kinda zigzag run. Then i phantom walked into the sunset, and i never saw him again.

Joymax's database was cracked, and thousands of IDs were posted for all to see. So its not always people's fault that they got hacked.

I agree dude. Why should sro change to meet the needs of just part of the community. Its a free 2 play game, don't like it don't play. Aege ftw :D

He doesnt pay to play, he pays because he chooses to. He knows what kind of game hes playing and what kind of support it has, but he pays for items none the less because he chooses to have a finer experience in a game he enjoys playing. As long as hes having fun, what does it matter to you?

Lonely? No....

Stinky? very much so.


I do agree with you though, If this was a P2P game, and they had the horrible customer support that they had now, then I wouldn't keep playing. Guild Wars had amazing support, events, etc. etc. and it was totally free unless you were one of the douches who bought gold.

But on the other hand, Joymax is folloing the F2P, pay for premiums model, so they can justify the horrible service by telling people to stop buying silk, therein, not having anything to bitch about.

The f***ed up thing is, Joymax is having it's cake and eating it too. They're making more money than a game like Guild Wars, and offering little to no support.

It sucks that alot of people got hacked, and I'm sure that some people had taken the necessary precautions and still lost everything. But here is what it boils down to;

Yes, Joymax dropped the ball big time by not having enough security on their site, but whats really sad is that people in the community took advantage of that and ruined other peoples efforts by hacking them and stealing their stuff. That was due more than likely to envy.

I'd love to see NCsoft buy out Joymax, but that will probably never happen, unfortunately.

I'd like to add to that

No your sig isnt small enough not to be annoying. Its huge.


OT: someone made a good post in another thread, i cant remember who or where, but ones ID shouldnt need to be a 2nd form of password, it just is because joymax are tards.

Also, Yeah, you arent the only one, and also, people have been hacked by hackers trying random IDs, its all sucky, and i feel sorry for the legits that got fúcked.
