This thread is about Glomdoring, not Magnagora. If you want to discuss Mag and it's strategies, please make a new thread

One of the major points in the thread was comparing the synergy of the orgs. It seems prudent to correct the errors the original poster has posted in regards to that and how they failed to notice synergy in the other orgs.

Also snub is not 100% effective. And if you happen to emote in the same room as someone who snubbed you, they issue you so it's a no-win situation!

Re: Why People are leaving the game

Maybe I should have issued for my alts being outed on clans and the vile things being said that filtered back to me but instead I quit the game because some battles are not worth fighting and I was tired, physically, mentally and emotionally. I still am. There's so many things I'd love to say but I'll leave it at these few things (yes, I will take your very obvious bait) - telling someone who reveals some of their past struggles and what triggered it that it's a cop-out is really, really low. Saying you've never quit over it - well you're a freaking hero, good for you - but does it make the behaviour ok? Should I have to call the authorities over someone bullying in a game? Or is it really so outrageous to expect and hope that people might have empathy, a little remorse, and maybe even a hint of human decency? I think maybe it is.

Yes, Enadonella, you are a shining paragon and that's exactly how, as a community, more players will be retained.

I am so glad that was sarcasm...

Re: Why People are leaving the game

I remember you ranting and shouting at me Keegan when you died to a toad and I pointed out you didn't use your healing scroll and if you'd have done that you wouldn't have died after I reviewed your logs.

I received private messages from you telling me how stupid I was for suggesting that.

I can easily choose to play bard instead of mage if I think bard is better

(It does costs either 1-200$ or about 45 hours of grinding to swap classes, so it's not exactly a finger snap either)

Re: Why People are leaving the game

I don't think that's true.

I work with Glomdoring because I like them. They're fair, they don't throw their fighting weight around in the alliance. They offer combat advice when asked.

Maybe we can just remove the mana cost from clotting. Make bleeding a singular affliction that is cured by something, and that's it. Maybe dust.

I also personally think, bleeding and poisons are well fitting thematically to Glomdoring's edgy forest roleplay. And if the ultimate goal will be for other orgs to strive for Glomdoring's level of synergy then I'd rather have those temporarily disabled/hard number nerf'd until everyone else can reach the same playing field through revamps. So at least new players wouldn't wear out while waiting, as most of us had in the past.

Re: Why People are leaving the game

You just did so in the post I was replying to, in fact. You lumped us all together with the term "vocal group" (you even made an explicit term for this), and then went on to say that this group is universally telling you to "git gud" / etc. Again, we are all different people.

As far as ample evidence: I just cited three entirely different threads where I supported changes to how things work to help game balance become better. I specifically have said time and again that I want these changes sooner rather than later.

I have also never denied that I had no interest in paying $2 per coin. I did not then, I still do not now. Mentioning it simply led to further investigation, it was not changed on that alone (nor should it have been). As far as I am concerned, asking the people who invested what they preferred to get from their investment was a good idea, and that is precisely what they did.

Re: Why People are leaving the game

Why do you keep saying that, Lycidas? The February promo came out, and it was mentioned that paying $2 per coin was not appealing as an investment. The administration asked people who had already invested at that point what they thought and made a change, and yet you continue to insist that they did it at the behest of a minority without talking to anyone. It just makes no sense why you keep asserting something that simply is not true.

This month you can get a coin for collecting 6 shamrocks, every day. That's awesome. Would I pay $2 for that same coin? No thanks. Apparently other people felt the same way.

You also lump us together for some reason, despite us all being different people. I fully support adjusting all three of the current wonder items without delays, and have made multiple posts on that front. If you don't care to read what each of us is actually writing and instead assume that we are always in lockstep... well, I am not sure what to say there. I disagree with people on my "side" too, and I am more than happy to say so. I want Lusternia to be full of people as much as anyone else does, and I am indeed very passionate about this game, hence my outspokenness.

Saying that I am trying to protect a "very clear advantage" when there is ample evidence to the contrary is a bit over the top, as well. I would encourage you to actually read posts and not just look at us all as being "the unified opposition" -- because we are not, we are players each with our own opinions and experiences too.
