"Well, bye bye game with a messed up open pvp system, hello long wait for TERA. Hopefully they'll fix this stupid one sided open pvp and then I'll come back. And it would be sort of ok if that was the only problem in this game, but it's not. There are no where near enough quests, and most of them give an insufficient amount of exp and they are boring and repetitive to start with anyway. And grinding gives even worse exp and its even more boring. To add to that, here's a major problem. My friend payed $25 straight from his credit card to buy some diamonds, and they didn't come to him. Is that stealing? Or just a bad system, you guys tell me. Bye."
As far as Tera is concerned do not expect much from it. I have played ont eh alpha and closed beta servers and their PvP syustem is a lot worse than it could ever be here.
I can name 4 games that have no open PvP and they are doing great. The only PvP they ahve is pretty much called guild wars.
Yes I called people who PvP noobs, mainly because the vast MAJORITY of them are jsut that. Little teenaged turds attempting to show their so called superiority by killing another person who most likely was minding their own business. I do not completely dislike PvP but open PvP has no reason to even be allowed.
As far as a server dying the main reason servers die is that noone wants to be constantly HARRASED by some scumbag out to flex their so called "E-Peen". When teh word gets out that everyone is fair game what do you think will ahppen? No new players want to join a server where they cannot even do a simple quest without getting ganked by an idiot.
I ahve no idea where you are questing at but it only took me 3 weeks of playing to get from lvl 1 to the original lvl 50 cap JUST DOING QUESTS. Yes grinding is a pain but if you are careful and do not let the mobs gett eh better of you it can be done. When the lvl was again raised to lvl 60 it only took me less than a week to hit it. And again when they recently raised it to lvl 70 less than a week. All my leveling is done through QUESTING. I have only ahd to grind maybe 2 or 3 bars of exp to hit a lvl where the new quests were available.
As far as credit cards go they ahve a rather painful system. First you will not get your diamonds immediately like with the RoM cards, Zeevex, or by using paypal. With a credit card their is a waiting period and sometimes they will send you an E-Mail confirming that you were the one that wanted the diamonds. Your friend should have sent in a ticket and checked his CC statement to see if he was actualy charged. Some Credit Card companies will not allow you to purchase virtual currency at all.
You leaving the game is not worrisome it just opens the world to someone who can appreciate it.
Several posters here told the reason for Grimdal dying. They admited to camping new players. Doing this creates a hostile environment for new players and in turn drives them away froim what could have been a good game.
Killing people to show superiority? What so you think noone kills people because its fun? You've obviously never played a game that takes skill to win instead of time like most mmorpgs. So not fighting people for the fun of it and instead staying within the border of safe zones and safely doing boring repetitive quests is what seperates you from these so called "noobs" that actually go out to the non-safe zones and have fun and pk. Hmm. And open PVP has no reason to even be allowed? Lol you boring person, I think a 3d facebook mmorpg would be more suitable for someone like you.
Now to the questing, yes you may of reached lvl cap with 3 weeks of time but who wants to do the same boring repetitive quests for 3 weeks? That may be ok for you but it sure isn't for me. And me leaving the game making it worrisome would be pretty flattering but i didn't really expect it.
Oh yeah, last thing, I was gonna say this first since you said the thing it's replying to first but I thought it would look better under all that stuff I just said. You think TERA's pvp system is bad because it is an
ACTION-PVP-BASED-GAME with 100+ vs 100+ man pvp that actually takes a bit of skill to play and even if you stay in the safe zones all day you still have a pretty fat chance of losing. If you said open pvp doesn't even have a reason to be allowed then of course an
ACTION-PVP-BASED-GAME with 100+ vs 100+ man pvp game wouldn't be suitable for a person like you.
