This may or may not be an issue, but we don't know because they aren't communicating clearly and with enough detail or alternatively aren't providing responses to our follow-up questions or concerns about these issues related to the poor communication.
We normally finish around 460 million in AQ, it looks like we're going to finish around 380-390 million.
For a grasp at how insane attack ratings are now, we'll use 7.3.6 as an example.
Here is a 7.3.6 night thrasher's attack rating compared to a regular map 6 lane fight's attack rating and the first ebony maw mini's attack rating
As you can see, the dark hawk lane right has almost 1k more attack rating than a 7.3.6 fight, and the Ebony Baw mini has double the attack rating. This is INSANE and the fact that we didn't get glory in our last package is ridiculous.
I know multiple alliances are going to suffer in AQ due to this. We deserve proper compensation.
First off, I am not suggesting any course of action at all, I was merely attempting to explain my interpretation of what the people who ARE saying people shouldn't spend to get the powers that be's attention are trying to accomplish and the reason they think that course of action makes sense to those who are saying that not spending doesn't help.
Second of all, I never said that Kabam or Netmarble have to "jump to our feet" (I have never heard the concept I think you are expressing phrased that way) or that we pay their salaries. The point I was making was that I believe a lot of people, especially those talking about not spending because of the increasing problems, think things might improve with more resources (time, money, staffing, etc) being put into the game which as I said before I believe is part of the concept people are saying might occur if Kabam/Netmarble see a decrease in player satisfaction registered in one of the main ways they care about..... player spending. They might then be willing to bring on more help to improve things, which actually would be the opposite of what you were basically implying I was threatening because the threat of saying I pay your salary carries the implication that I can stop paying your salary too in addition to the meaning that you should make me happy because of it. This would result in MORE people getting paid by Kabam/Netmarble, not less, so don't put words, meanings and threats in my mouth that I didn't explicitly make.
Lastly, I made ZERO demands and said nothing indignantly so find someone else's post to attack please.
2. The subject which we both were discussing was what I was addressing, not you or your comment personally
3. Said statements about "paying someone's salary" are what I was commenting on, and my views about the whole assertion that money is the deciding factor in these circumstances, still stand. Spending, or withholding spending, will not make issues be resolved any faster.
4. Anyone who presumes to claim they pay someone's salary had best be their employer, otherwise such statements are arrogantly false.
I am not sure how you weren't addressing me or my comment yet chose to respond to the specific part of this thread that my comment was the most recent part of using a quote instead of just making your own standalone post in the thread or going off of someone else's post to quote if it wasn't about what I said. I don't quote people's posts to not address what they are saying and I don't know that I have seen many other people do that either.
I have the setting to hide super long quote threads turned on so I may have missed it further back but nowhere in my comment or the comment I was responding to was there any mention of anyone but the employer being the one paying the salaries so again not sure why you would bring up an issue specifically off of my post that wasn't something I said anything about.
Saying spending or not spending doesn't affect the speed at which issues get resolved is not something you can know without insider knowledge of Kabam and Netmarble. It may be the case that they are working with absolutely 100% of the effort they can put in to it but it may also be the case that they also have other priorities at the same time that they have some people spending some time on that could be reallocated if they chose to adjust their priorities. People have been pointing out that they have many vacancies and I think even DNA said something like we would probably be surprised at how few people they actually seem to have working on the game.
You can't know that things couldn't be fixed faster (some, not all obviously) if they had different allocations of resources or if they chose to spend more money on hiring more people to work on the bugs AND to test for bugs in the content they are releasing. How do you know that they already have the maximum number of employees that could possibly work on all the different bugs at the same time? In fact, mods have commented on other posts about different bugs that they have had to be put on the back burner due to the parry and related bugs they have been working on which would show that you are wrong about that in so far as if a decrease in revenue got their attention they might choose to invest more to get the game working better than it has been lately which could involve hiring more people which would enable more work to be done.
Most people on here disagree with most of what you say but you are generally just expressing an opinion. What you said here about the resolution of problems and spending's lack of impact on it sounds like you making an assertion of a fact which is quite likely not correct in the specific scenario you were commenting on.
Most businesses that see a meaningful drop in revenue (and I am not saying that some people not buying these upcoming deals would accomplish that but there is obviously a certain threshold that would be significant enough to get attention) look to find a cause and address it rather than just ignore it or shut down their business so it isn't unreasonable to think if they see people are upset about bugs they will put more money into getting more people to fix them and prevent them in the first place.
It is perfectly logical for people to think that more could be done if Kabam had more resources and that affecting their revenue could affect the resources they are given to address the decline in revenue. Without complete knowledge of Kabam and Netmarble's inner workings and financials you can't make the assertion that this line of thinking is absolutely incorrect, it may or may not be (but most likely it is correct because most businesses can do more if they are given more money to work with and as has been pointed out Kabam isn't running the game off our spending, they get funded by Netmarble who could spend a bit more now to make even more back). I am sure Kabam mods could never admit they aren't adequately funded, or even just could do better with more funding, because it would make them look bad but you have to be being willfully closed minded to not be able to admit the possibility that they could do more with more money from Netmarble.
This is too long already and may be a bit of a mess because it is late and I keep rewriting parts to try to explain my point better so I am done now.
Give a meter, they want a mile. Sigh
