Heh seems like it.
Yes I agree Verant seems to hate powergamers very much although I doubt for
the real reasons. Verant seems to believe that the reason most people are
leaving the game ( level 50 people that is or close ) is because we've
beaten the game typically for a powergamer. However I know most people just
got bored with it because there was nothing else to do with their current
char or areas like Lower Guk or Sol B are just too crowded. If verant would
add some more high level areas and fix PoF I seroiously doubt this would
continue. On another note almost all the 40+ I know and group with have a
secondary char some even have 3-4. Hopefully Verant will begin to realize
problems as more and more people leave.
On another note Verant seems to think they can keep powergamers from
powerleveling. Most recent thing has to do with the dot nerf. Has anybody
seen kiting stop or even lessen? I sure haven't. If they would stop worrying
about keeping people low level and start adding stuff to the game instead of
nerfing they would see a lot less people leaving or selling on ebay.
