Text: Getting a quest out of Kallon Ebbtide on the docks of Sinking Sands is like playing a pornographic flash game written in Japanese with blocks where the words should be. I've been through his text for five minutes, and not a quest yet.

Text: I think on the creature conjuror that you can place in your guild hall. It would be cool if people could summon epic monsters

Text: Surface water walking boots would be a cool LON item

Text: Nice face on the highland stalker kitten. haha

Text: Please add a way to diable all bonus xp for accounts.
Levelling up is the part of the game I enjoy most.
I do not appreciate having that fun reduced by bonus xp weekends
The normal rate of levelling is too fast for my tastes anyway

Text: I'd love nothing more then to see a marketplace item that is a Nurse's hat. The traditional white hat with red cross on the front.
---
Text: there should be station cash house item-dice. When you roll them, you get a random fabled item, once a week.

I usually criticize developers for not listening to their player base. Now that I think about it, the playerbase is usually all over the place with their wants, and only unifies when you do something that the majority of them did not want.
ReplyDeleteReading through nightly feedback submissions really highlights this. For everybody asking for one thing, there are several others asking for mutually exclusive things. The post I made specifically with battlegrounds feedback highlighted this really well I thought: http://tradeskill.blogspot.com/2010/04/what-do-players-want_23.html
ReplyDeleteAdded on to this, many of the things that people say they want either wouldn't work the way they think they would, would be ridiculously overpowered and break the game, would infuriate other players in large numbers, or just aren't possible. (Example: free fabled item once a week and severe rate of leveling reduction as mentioned in this post.) Or then there's the ones (also as above) that loudly say FIX FIX FIX but don't actually even say what they think needs fixing - it's obvious to them, but not necessarily to us!
Of course, I tend to cherry pick the ones I post because they're amusing, or interesting, or unusual, or make me say "huh?" and I don't post the rude or hateful ones that accuse us of being baby-raping followers of Saddam Hussein (yes, those words have been used). But I still think they provide at least a little insight into just how different are the wishes that different people have, and how diverse are the things that make someone type /feedback and take 5 minutes out of their day to send us their thoughts.
