What I'd love to see in a monthly update is Genele giving us her take on the new player experience now and where she wants to see it say a year from now.

The economy in this game is screwed up. I'd like to see some open/honest communication regarding the devs view on why it has happened and how you plan to address it (if at all).
Check
As for the game and what is driving me away this time:
1. Beast reflect shield change. The screw up with the beast's reflect shield is a prime example of me feeling like the devs couldn't care less about the playerbase.
Check
2. REALLY messed up loot system for endgame instances. If you want to take something from games like WoW then take a look at how they handle loot.
Check
3. Primetime USA is a joke.
DOUBLE CHECK
4. Clanside PvP.. what happened to our bots?
Uncheck...I am neutral after all this does not affect me.
5. Multiboxing. Mentioned above but it needs special mention not because I think it's the end of the world but because I can't believe Funcom actually came out and endorsed it.
Hrm This one is a pretty big RED CHECK- I can't say how long I sat with mouth agape when I read this. Multiboxing is legal. Totally the opposite strategy to promote "teaming". I would say it's a judgement call of current game director, but I dare say I could read minds and I do not think former GD's would approve that multi-boxing is even remotely in the spirit of AO team play and most likely would have banned players who did. (I could be wrong though)
6. Too many exploiters in game. Its easier now for me to count the people I know in game that don't exploit than the people that do.
