Yeah but unfortunately who do you think makes up the majority of Funcoms AO income Hardcore RP, anti-twinks or over-equipping-is-the-way-to-go and exploit-all-you-want mentality people,Originally posted by Tedric
Well, on the other hand you also have a lot of roleplayers and anti-twink people leaving right now because they are sick of the current over-equipping-is-the-way-to-go and exploit-all-you-want mentality in AO. I for one would love to see changes to the rule to stop all over-equipping (as defined by "equipping stuff that has requirements that you cannot *continually* meet with your own stats/buffs"), and would not miss the people who gave up the game as a result. Good riddance.
That said I imagine that the RP'ers and Anti-twinkers would play the game longer so be a more stable income for longer, whereas the others would quickly ruin a game and would cast it aside once it lost its appeal which lets face it it would after a while.
I guess that leaves only one choice Bite the Bullet, Balance the Game and take the losses. I for one Funcom will allow you to keep your grubby hands on my money. :)
