    This argument happens with nearly every game.... Bottom Line is that BB is a company, first and for most. Their product is a game that people pay money to have more stuff or things faster. The developers (lots of times) have no real control over the direction of where they move. Make PvP? Science System? More Decorations? All of those decisions would have been made by the another team that determined how they can make more money. People can complain all day long about PvP. If BB does not see it as a profitable move than it will never happen.

    How much money does BB make from a lvl 50 with 5 gem pits bringing in about 535 gems per day? I am not 50 yet (45), but i can already tell you that i haven't had to buy gems since Xmas when i got my 2nd pit. Technically, these level 50s that barely play are already not making BB any money (not saying they dont care about you but their bottom-line is more important). If they can get $20 from a few lower level players while the 50s that are not spending money are mad... I bet they will go that route.

    Just some thoughts... Personally i still like the game. I do adventures when i have time. I like the science system even if it will take a while to get guys maxed out (gonna take a WHILE to get 11 Exps leveled up. heck it is still taking a while for my 4 Geos). I am looking forward to the Fairy Tails thing has it will bring some more variety to the game.

    I can tell you as a level 50 player, it doesn't bother me a bit what they decide to do. I enjoy the game and hanging out with people. I did not invest many books into all my geos. I filled one to the point of finding faster mining copper ore and gold ore and have now built endless copper mines on it and new gold mines in the works. After that is done, I will WASTE my gems to get the books back to use on the explorers. I do wish that the book binder was faster but I get why it isn't. We can't always get what we want. If you don't like what they are doing, quit, so that I don't waste my time reading your post.

    It seems like there's been a lot of negative reaction to this, to which I disagree. This explorer science system looks great. I hope the percentages of each skill will be ensuingly appropriate.

    It takes a lot of creativity, game designing, balancing, etc, to create new features. We should be grateful, happy, that we're actually given new playable and reasonable features instead of another event. I am so event-weary.


    Thanks to the BBs and devs for your hard werkitty werk.

    I agree with most of this. One way to get us spending again would be buying beans with gems 1-1 Im guessing its gonna happen. I would spend the gems over doing Valiant 90 times.

    As a side not 90% of the MMOs Ive played have been ruined buy devolopers bending to the PvP groups. Its why I dont want it here. but PvPer will spend the gems so they can pick on others to make themselves feel better about themselves. " loser in real life, lets go find someone to pick on in game"

    I totally agree with your thoughts, and hope that others will rethink their negative reactions to new content in a free-to-play game. Especially when the content is something you can choose not to do with almost no affect on your gameplay experience.

    You have just blatantly speculated on something Myself, Artillerist, Driller, Corona, and others as urgent guide designs were posted by us, none of which except for Mine are listed as final, due to the fact that BB_SlasH isn't done with us there on these, and if a 4th Version is handed to us, this 4th Version I do not think will be Major. Our massively huge and full of VIPS are testing this thru like nothing else has ever been done before... what are u saying? Dude...

    Art I believe is the only other one with a Final Guide to one of the Adventures.

    Now your statement saying "but yes i can see that all the Dev's are doing is extending the time TSO can exist, not making it a fun experience to exist for..." !!! Are You Slapping us in the face ? For working endless hours to test something so Grand and Worthwhile, that I personally have spent over 100 hours on to help BB's lunch be a total Success!!!

    Art stated fact- about your levels Currently you are not earning respect from us... We are Giant Players... The Biggest... Zeus Guild on Prestage has players even Bigger then me, we are all testing...

    You haven't Earned the Right to Pass Judgment on something You know absolutely Nothing About...

    And I want to BE Totally Sure this Server as well as any others that should happen to read these postings know this. Also, know this- I am creating the final design to the 5th Raid Adventure... and this has pulled me away from it. I Currently Have 13 People watching me make it... Now they too are waiting...

    Please stop posting comments on the future of our game that u personally have -0- experience on, your showing up whenever it suits you, doesn't justify your posting false opinions.

    That is all I have to say for now. Director Please as my new friend here, take back what you said.

    I work my hardest for the Testing Server and the Dev's there, as they work even harder then me...
    Regards;

    All right everyone, calm down.

    Its true that I have a option on everything GFM, stop rubbing it and help.

    As for you Asia, you are 100.00% correct.

    I do need to slow down and start double checking facts.

    Also I am not dis'ing the work you and the players on the TSO Testing server, you do great work.

    Ill have to slow down now guys, time to refocus for me.

    I still think PvP will be a great help to bringing TSO back to its former glory, and I do have a right to share my option, but not if I infringe on everyone else's rights to talk too.

    From the Bottom of my heart I say Sorry, and Sorry again, some of the things I have said lately have been heartless and rude.

    Thank you all for putting up with me,

    The_Director,
    *Exit Stage Right*

    If they dont change how book costs increase....my ******* issue is with the tome/codex requiring more of the previous book.

    I dont mind paying a king's ransom in resource cost, but dont increase the time anymore then you already have
    More of the same "new" content with a different bow? I will give more of the "same" towards my gem accumulation.

    It will take me 7 years to upgrade all my specialist and then there is island. I have one geo upgraded as far as I can go. I doubt i'll do the other 17. The island and the explores are more important.
