    Exclamation

    I agree. It's definitely not beyond any game I've played. Many a nerf has been handed out on exploits and sometimes if the exploit is very black and white, retro active changes made to correct and/or punish (instead of letting the exploiters run off with their booty).

Their forums are so much more productive. Evony needs to listen to their player base, but they need to not listen to those who complain, simply because there are players bigger than them, and listen to players who want the game to be balanced and last. Otherwise, things will always be changing on a drastic scale.
    Evony needs to listen to the ones who want the game to be balanced. Of course, it's the old problem of pessimists, optimists, and realists. Most people think THEY are the realist, and everyone else is one of the other.

    I too am an idealist.

    MSI, you're so right though. Many times forum posters are on the extreme end one-or-the-other. I think its because of the soapbox. I know my views tend to be very optimistic and can be construed as fanboish with the company, but I do know of the big gap in the customer service area and like I said, I don't approve of the wall buff.

    I blame politics. We are too busy trying to balance something by tilting on the far side and hoping it slides more towards the middle. This just leads to mass confusion on the actual implementors of the change.

    WoW (Ghostcrawler a liason) specifically said, that they do NOT listen to the forum posters. They take things into consideration on the merged threads of proposed changes, but they do not make the game the way the player wants it. Simply because big booming voice or not, the player has no idea of the life cycle or vision of said game.

    It's the Haggler's Dilemma. They start with a high price, and hope to end in the middle. Course, with too high a price you insult/scare off the attention of the one you're after. Exactly.

    That's why I advocate, thinking like a game designer, when making a game suggestion. Gotta think beyond (but not forget at all) the simple concerns of a day to day player.
