Edit: We know the tabs are currently throwing errors when you try to click on them. We also know the Bounty MP paragon task doesn't complete and that the timer is on the fishing screen.


Edit 2: The above bugs should now be fixed.

Good ****ing lord I've had spyware less intrusive then this stupid leaderboard thing that's showing up in missions now.

agree with avy on this.... ur making my decision to quit alot easier

Tsukasa I have to object to your use of the word microtransactions. More and more in this game they're just transactions. A set of clothing here costs the same as a game on Steam (better ones than this too). The whole point of microtransactions in games is to tempt people into small purchases, not bleed us dry.

Im running out of ways to say "I told you so". I have tried to explain on these forums and ingame chat many times how all this was coming, and will continue to get worse, and yet there were still people who kept defending CNE because of their other completely unrelated games.

To Eric and Justin. You both have directly lied to the community many times, again here, and in game in chat. I called you out on it directly Eric, and yet here it is only compounding to get worse. You can no longer hide behind BW/BW2 and the commmunity. I hope you have protection from all the pitchforks. :P

I respected some wise words here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEjzSnSR2xY#t=492

"I think that video games can cut through discrimination." "When you play a game, it doesn't matter what your gender is, it doesn't matter your sexual preference, your social class, your ethnicity - the only thing that matters when you play a game, is how good you are at the game - Nothing else”.

- I agreed with everything he said there... and I had massive respect for Eric Jordan (aka Lethmonth) for highlighting all the good things about how games have evolved.

Except... your 'social class' does matter in a MASSIVE way in a game built like this... In how much spare disposable income you have to waste on a ‘free-to-play’ game... But this 'pay-to-win' structure the game is being built around, is de-evolving all the good things games have grown into.

I come from a poor family, and I'm poor myself... Normal household bills are a struggle to keep up with, and money is always a deciding issue for any situation... In the UK, I'm considered 'below the poverty line'... But I'd be happy to budget something like $20-30 a month for spending on a game like this. It feels insulting and discriminating to try and compete with players that are willing to spend upwards of $100 a month on the game. (I know of some players that have spent a total over $1000 for advantages in the game).

How developers choose to monetize their game can spell the difference between an enjoyable, competitive experience and 'pay-to-win'... I had faith in CNE for a long time... But I now feel lied to and betrayed. It's now clear to see that you guys are going down the wrong path of 'pay-to-win'.

Eric, you need to re-do your TEDx talk and change that line to "The only thing that matters when you play a game, is how much you spend - Nothing else".

For a long time I believed that CNE were a game development company that 'made games for the love of games, but still needed to make a decent living'... Now you're quickly turning into the 'pay-to-win, greedy, capitalist, exploiter developer' :(

I've posted this video on the forum in the past... But it seems very relevant to post it again - "Doing Free to Play Wrong - How Bad Monetization Harms F2P Games": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mhz9OXy86a0
