Quoted from "Lemurk"

Hello RoMmunity!

We have listened to your suggestions and are now permanently offering the following items in the shop starting tomorrow (01/22/2014) at 2pm PST:

• Advanced Armor Driller
  
• Advanced Accessory Driller
  
• Advanced Weapon Driller
  

These drillers increase your rune slots from 1 to a maximum of 2.

We also look forward to continuing to implement your feedback into the game and hope you enjoy the new items.

Your RoM Team




I already see those in item shop. So how is that a change? I hope someone goofed on this.

It has got to be a goof, those have been in the IS for as long as I can remember. I'm hoping they meant advanced jewels or ABL's...

uh.. yeah.

EDIT: looks like these are 5-packs... just went to the website

DOH!!!! must be a typo

Yeah, looks like 5 packs. Announcement starts out with more rune slots for your equipment so I initially thought they were adding another unique item which I had mixed feelings about since I expected a hurt with the cost. They also say this means they are listening to us which gave me quite a chuckle.

The additional text has been added on our boards here: New items in the shop – more rune slots for your equipment!.

wow, seriously, thank you guys for listening so well to the playerbase

wow, guess i will just buy them with phirus coins still...

wow

OTOH, a 5th rune slot would have been interesting...

Don't shoot the messenger

This be the response when we done clearly been askin fer ABLS an RAEs? sigh.

I've looked around on the forums on both EU and US/AU and don't see where this was demanded. I'm not sure how this is good? What's the savings between the 1 packs and 5 packs? If there's a small diamond savings, sure, might be worthwhile, but if there's no savings, this is a major fail.

The bank I use where I live, about 2 years ago moved their atm
machine from the far end of their drive thru lanes to an internal one
that is accessed from the drive thru lane closest to the bank. The one
businesses making deposits at and most people go to first. so after
you either wait in line and then go past the tellers to the atm or you
park your car and walk up to it while others are going thru the drive
thru lanes doing their business. They had this statement on it..
For your convenience we have relocated the atm to this new location.

The actual fact it is not conveniently located at all. It was for the banks convenience.

GameForge is doing nothing but the same. It's for thier convenience

After all what is the definition of listened....?


lis·ten intr.v. lis·tened, lis·ten·ing, lis·tens
1. To make an effort to hear something: 2. To pay attention; heed

I think the people in charge of the RoM Item shop listened quite well to what we wanted.

Then they simply said We don't care what you want. This is what your gonna get, and we are gonna say it was your idea.

Its my understanding listened would have meant they heard people say.

ABLs permanently put back in IS
+16 jewels permanently in IS
a larger variety of costumes for people to use permanently put in IS

At least this points out for all one key thing about listening.
It only means they will consider it.. Not implement it.

They may think they will make more money this way. Don't see how honestly... but then i'm not an economics major.

Oh because, yknow, we need 5 weapon drillers at the same time...
It's like they went with the grocery store model and have you buy 5 quarts of milk when you can really only use 3 before what you bought expires because its "on sale". Granted yes some people aren't fooled and know 3 would still be cheaper and not be as wasteful

Ok someone at sales department need to wake the hell up and stop imagining what we want from the IS, Show me where the thread was made that we needed said items in packs of 5?? i dare anyone to put up a link to that thread. A lot of useful things have been asked and those 5 packs were never mentionned anywhere. Unless it's on the Italian server LMAO. Might want to send a memo to ThePit and tell him to bring out a stick at their next meeting sales. I do understand that they surely do not play the game, at least listen to what REAL PLAYERS want, not some pencil pushing moron who has no clue and really not helping the player based community.

Sales departement -10000 baffled players +1000000000000000000000000000

This is just retarded. This is in no way the direction sales should have been going.

Finally the day has come where the much needed 2nd rune slot driller for ALL of our items can now be bought in a unwanted package of 5. This is just awesome!!!! I remember back in the day when we used to come here and make threads constantly about how the item shop lacked the 5 pack driller, but now those days are just a long distant memory.

I've waited for this day as all my gear ever has only had 1 drill hole, the wait has been strenuous and I've put myself and my guildies at risk constantly by not be up to par with the other 3 drill slots. They will be so proud of me today when I obtain that 2nd hole for some truely magical runes (get it...magical runes...runes of magic!! hahahah!!)

I logging in right now with much anticipation not matched since the very first time I logged into this game.


Thanks so much to the sales department, the community correspondents, the mentors and everyone involved in this game-breaking change!

You know they don't understand sarcasm, and in their eyes you just made their choice the right one...

We have listened to you and the chocolate ration has been increased to 25 grams. Enjoy.

At least our EU brethren are as confused as we all are. http://board.eu.runesofmagic.gameforge.c…ms-in-the-shop/

It also seems there is 4 pages already on this on the DE side.

Now...I don't see this thread on the EU News. It was there earlier...

lol... just lol...

I have never seen anyone ask for these items to put in packs of 5, but I've seen pages after pages of posts demanding for other items.

The miracles of google translate... where 99% of the content becomes lost. There goes half a year's worth of player feedback on IS items.

Don't shoot the messenger

What is irritating about this isn't the "new" items. It is the completely disingenuous part of "We have listened to your suggestions." This is newspeak and is insulting. As others have pointed out, the items are already in the shop, NO ONE has asked for 5 packs of them and we have asked for LOTS of other things.
