This game is supposed to be fun. If you take Notum Wars into account, it isn't anymore. It's now full of cheating, name-calling, backstabbing, griefing, ninja'ing. The whole gamut of what used to be confined to that damn dragon. Only now you can't hide from it by just opting out.
Honestly, I wish they'd just roll back the Notum Wars patch and give me my 20 dollars back. I thought it would be fun. But, all it's done is put a cloud of tension over the entire AO community. What used to be friendly competition is now ugly. AO is becoming an ugly game. Reminds me of the terribly dark days of UO. Only in AO, you have no chance for retribution.
The god damned towers were supposed to be about PvP. With the blasted XP-bonus and incredibly over-powered tower advantages, we have no chance of having the Notum Wars be about PvP for pride and fun. It's about forced PvP exactly the same as forced PvP for Dragon loot. I'm sick of defending towers because I have to. I wanted to fight and defend because it would be fun and I wanted to. Now, my damn palms have to sweat because I risk losing life/nanoskills/weaponskills and the like.
Honestly, I don't know what they were thinking when they implemented what could have been a great diversion in such a terrible fashion.
well said, and I agree 100% with what you say.....
