    And when they steal stuff, they should target HESS items only.

    If you make people lose their HESS items, they'll have to buy more Simucoins and grind out a new one all over again! /revenuestrategy

    But will it eventually end up like plat? If it keeps going this way, I think so. But it won't be dead.

    We also have to be careful what we ask for. I think the whales and their god items have to stay. The fixes from now on need to cater to them to some extent, and not just nerf them. Otherwise, we'll lose the whales. And if we lose the whales, it would take some smart dev to reign things in - smart devs we don't have.
    I really wouldn't give a shit about the whales if P2W events weren't sucking up most of the dev resources. I don't give a shit what Simu claims because no company is ever gonna come out and be like, "Yeah we're moving most of our dev to P2W stuff, we'll finish a spell list one day, maybe." that shit is cutting into normal game dev, both in a resource way and in a game balance way like what someone mentioned earlier about high end items indirectly stonewalling fixes that should have been done years ago because people would cry too hard over their expensive items not being worth as much anymore.

    Obliterating the in-game economy doesn't help things either, but Simu doesn't seem to give the first single fuck about that.

    Agreed, this is my main issue with it.

    But when I have brought this issue up in other places, I have not only been vehemently disagreed with, but have also actually been made fun of.

    Going to official forums or Discord, is basically like going to a flat Earther convention.

    I don't have much of a problem with the Simucoin events, and I enjoy some of them. But it's very clear that almost zero actual dev is happening outside of them. What does happen is a LOL-fest. Collectibles? Boss/pack creatures that are just annoying/avoided? Disarm/item loss update coming one day maybe, but we still don't know for sure it won't be tied to Simucoins in some capacity. Spell lists? Well they did release a bolt spell for monks recently. Oh what's that they also released 1206 SK items? Woah what a coincidence

    There IS the shop fix. But as I said to the flat Earthers - SOME dev is happening....just very little.

    Stockholm Syndrome for most, and the rest still haven't realized that sucking on Simu's diarrhea filled asshole won't get them any special treatment.

    Seriously, how many people on average play each night? And by people, I mean actual people, not one person running three accounts.

    How dare you patronize him, Roblar!!!one

    Never mind there's even a gigantic rogue fix in that ( 403/404 experience ), the gall of you to actually reply to him.
