Everyone got into beta, and is paying a handsome sum to do so, lawl.
protip, no one has paid ***outside of buying the game since release, it's free indefinitely
The question is, was the game worth it? I could have easily gotten a code, but I thought the game would be @ retail level @ retail launch.
Miracleworks, protip. You paid money for something advertised as a game, but in actuality is now nothing short of a giant pay to play beta (EDIT: by pay to play I mean the cost of buying the game itself, obviously). $80 for something you could've signed up for free for 5 months ago. Flionheart got my point it seems. I paid £50 for a beta key, in basic terms. Can any of the people who are blindly defending the game at this point seriously say with 100% certainty that they were happy with their purchase and the game itself
from day one?
Myself? No. I paid my money for a video game that is supposed to have been completed to a somewhat acceptable standard. What I received for my money was, in short, garbage. My point is, I didn't pay my start up costs for something they will "hopefully fix and sort out soon." It's not unreasonable, as a consumer, for me to demand a product that works out of the box. I don't buy a brand new TV that works only in black and white for full price in the hope they add the colour feature later. I expect that stuff out of the box!
To even try and let this ***fly is nothing short of a scam at this point. The game had little to no content at launch outside of two things (guildeves and crafting) and with the current timetable, new content and fixes were not even seen as an urgency. Three months for the first major patch for a new MMO plagued with issues? Are you freaking kidding me?
This is the problem with first impressions. You only get one.
