And the negativity grows... and understandably so!!! But is anything going to change? Yes! They will make it harder and even more impossible to finish the third or maybe even the second stage (if they stay true to their past according to what i have read) So i think what we have to realize is they simply do not want anyone to be able to finish the FA unless we pay for it, plain and simple! This was my first FA and i enjoyed it for what we did, nothing spectacular, we only did the first level and stopped cause members had other commitments coming up and when we saw what stage two needed we realized there wasnt any hope anyway without having planned ahead better and having more members able to stay to the end, BUT i was looking forward to tackling the next FA a bit more organized till i read everything here about how futile it is to expect any chance of completing the FA (and some suggesting it even got harder! I wonder who complained that it was too easy in the first place?) ,as we didnt get to see the third stage, so I assumed before this that it was going to be a "fair" challenge but doable. So if they are not going to take the suggestions and complaints seriously (that statement will get a response i'm sure) then how do we get the message across that if it isnt a Fair Doable challenge ( you may not succeed but have a chance at least) then nobody will be interested. Do we just not participate? will that open some ears? Maybe we just do the doable first stage and then stop? I have been told both on forum and by other players it is a waste of time complaining or suggesting anything, and that is very discouraging, cause it has the potential to be an Amazing game!!!! War games are a dime a dozen online but i havent (till now) found a co-op game with the potential this has (at least in my opinion). The ONLY way it has any chance of reaching its potential though is if complaints and suggestions get heard and addressed!! It is the potential of the game that keeps me in it, NOT the games as it is, but as i read forum and see players saying things are actually being done OPPOSITE to what is being complained about (ie: FA's getting harder instead of more doable with a challenge) i find it harder and harder to turn the computer on after work. Right now things are going back to business as usual, building the city and helping fellowship but each disappointing thread i read is another nail in the coffin because i just dont see any threads (yet anyway) where complaints seem to be taken seriously, I know... i am going to get a msg saying changes do happen and they do listen, question is then why do i keep seeing the same general complaints? To be honest i dont even know why i am typing this, guess it has to do with the games potential i mentioned and basically a plea to moderators to get after the dev's to start making the game more fun and doable instead of a Pay or get lost game....
