Runes of Magic US / AU

Can't help but feel as if I'm not even interested in this game but hey, throwing in my towel and now I see why people would make these threads, sort of as a last hope something might change or issues might finally be addressed, so here's a blog post just to share my frustrations with why I ended up going into retirement

Burnt out, by far many of the features of the game I already probably felt
like I exhausted it more than anything, in fact the only time you have a
decent experience is from level 1-55, you get brand new gear, new
skills (elite skills as well) and able to continuously progress without much halting you at
all, which brings me to the next one

Endgame might as well be referred to as the grindfest to the top or even be effective at all, and top things off is the fact
of how much a pain in the butt gearing is, OD or bust, statting (pulling for stats is still a crap shoot to say the least too), tiering, enchanting, all falls downhill once you
realize you've got several pieces of equipment to apply this to, and
then the worst thing that could possibly ever happen falls into the next
point.

Balancing by far every time something gets "balanced" rather it be buffed or
nerfed it seems to make it either become the next flavor of the
month/year (w/e) or flat out destroys it into nothing (prime example
scouts falling off for SO LONG), so once you've gotten your gear decked
out the next is the fear of the nerf hammer coming your way, it's not a
fear that should even be, the game needs to be balanced sure, but then
you've got people paying/spending time for said gear, for what? Only to
have the character combination they are going for nerfed and having to
switch to something else they either don't even want to play or having
to reroll, and all the time spending on TP farming goes down the drain
just as much as the gear does. I shouldn't have to have a constant fear of having my toon get a nerf hammer because someone QQ'ed on the forums.

Oh boy this one was my least favorite, crashes, bugs, etc etc, everytime I try to report a bug and
then check the forums, I don't even bother complaining about it because
at this point every idiot ever will always say something along these
lines "don't complain about bugs if you're not going to report them LOL
XD" just to increase their post count. By far this game crashes too much for my taste when it shouldn't, a
game released how long ago? And it's STILL has this many bugs within it?
At this point I've had a struggle to even want to launch the client as
I've had it where all I did was type a simple "Moo" to guild chat and
CRASHED, NOT EVEN 5 MINUTES IN THE GAME AND I CRASHED, so literally this
game isn't even outside of beta, hell I'd nearly try to argue that it's
still in alpha stages of development at this point but that's too far
fetched to say the least.

Last but not least, my interest was on a
massive decline a long time ago even before the merge, the game just
became a stagnate pond to me and got boring at "endgame" for me, I've tried to keep up with changelogs, updates, patches, and things didn't seem to change the way I'd like them to so tossing in the towel at this point, so at this point I'm just throwing in the towel, the only thing I might even do is just pop into guild chat and see if things have changed or not or how they are going.

But none the less, MOO! (also what the hell happened to formating?!)
