Not that bogus. The game is worth playing. Is it worth paying for? If you asked me a month or two ago that would have been a firm "No". I'm kinda on the fence now but still leaning against. The thing is I play enough that I generate enough IG currency that I don't have to spend RL currency. Note: This is not just Wildstar, I am highly averse to any sort of subscription. I detest "wallet remorrahs". The only debt I carry is my mortgage and car loans if the rate is small enough (mine's currently paid off) On the other hand if they come up with a lifetime subscription at say 2x or 3x the annual sub cost and committed to keeping it running for that long I'd be very tempted.

TOR is all about monetizing their cosmetics. Their cash shop is virtually the exclusive source of new pieces. Yes there's a scant handful of things that get introduced outside of it but they're horrid looking some of the worst costume design I've ever seen.

TOR does this and it's a disaster. They don't have CREDD so instead people willing to spend RL cash will purchase those items and stick them on their IG market. Win-win right? Bzzzzzt. Very few of the items are available for direct purchase. You can only buy gamble boxes and hope that you get the item. Of course they use a rarity model (gee THANKS WotC). Of course the rare items go for stupid amounts of credits. How much are Blackhole Black and Supernova White going for now? Super. Now imagine hundreds of items that can command the same amount or multiples of that amount.

On one hand you say it's not that bad and then you are saying ONE person is influencing the whole EU CREDD market.

This is sad, but true in the same time...

It's simply going the same path and so far it is not working... they need to do a 180 with their PvP but they won't.

If you read back you see comments about other games that are free to play and release more content then Wildstar. As for the fluf... 55 pets in the next drop ;)

Yeah, that was an interesting video, thanks for the link. Very sensible runthrough of the various purported advantages of the sub. In the end, it always comes down to implementation. It's why being "for" or "against" any broad class of model without paying attention to the details of implementation is so silly, IMHO.

Actually, most of the people I play with, including myself, went running around collecting costume bits the instant Drop 4 hit. We're all very excited about the pets too. So I'm not sure where this "most people here don't care at all about fluff" is coming from.

It fits the story, it starts with you being an apprentice at a Dojo and you are getting your first weapon and all of that and then suddenly the dojo gets raided, and that's where the adventure starts. It's overall quite anime like and the combat and story goes along with that. This the intro scene to give you an idea and there are numerous of these kind of cutscene it really sets the mood and story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zoy8yQSe0qI But yeah Wildstar is lacking end game content really, how strange that might sound... there are enough instances and they are really good but it simply gets boring after 100 timed you do them. In gw2 i often roamed around doing random things discovering places on the map and things like that, doing dungeons to collect tokens for the outfit and pop on pvp or wvw if i wanted more action. there is always someone there to play with. In wildstar you are more often then not waiting in thayd for a queue to pop... As for people not subbing, like Fevir said in his video, the 1 week trail simply isn't enough and then end content is very different then leveling in this game.

Many don't share your thoughts. Previous players who left, I being one of them(only on because of 10 day trial), do not find this game worth paying 15$ a month. When you go from 2 million sales with over 2 million ACTIVE people the first 2 months then suddenly the game goes less than 150k subs at most, something is wrong with what the game presents, not with the people who pay(or paid) for it.

Nothing will change for the open world pvp so I won't expect any chances with the pvp servers. Also the PvP changes are more... evolution of the same concept to make it better what they have now, it's not a game changer and it won't really help with low level pvp.

Transfer to the PVE server and give it another go. Seriously. Population on PVP servers are shite, PVE is loaded.

exactly how i mentioned i would. by burning everything down so that it can be rebuild anew. let go of trying to holding to it. fall from the sky and learn to fly again. nothing can save it in its current state. it needs a system reboot. fortunately they are lucky enough to only have to reboot the system, and not the gameplay/graphic/sounds.
