iaxil, Please tell me that’s a joke. I know devs opinion is based on majority of players (which means - RU players), but to be honest I was suspecting something like this. We tried very hard to convince our people to NOT donate iridium to speed up the process, as there is no point doing so. A long LONG time ago, some of the corps where allowed to increase their iridium storage. No one said why or anything. The thing was - someone, somehow knew why the iridium is needed and in what quantities. Possibility to increase the iridium storage was then removed. And so at this time we have some corps with over 100k storage space, fully prepared to spend their iridium to have a significant advantage in this competition. If the prizes were for top ten - then yes, there is a possibility to other corp to get those prizes, but now I don’t see it. And announcing the “Arms Race” and then defining the prizes in the second week AFTER it started?
As other pilots said in this thread - maybe you should think how to get more people playing this game and less about how to glorify a few corps more? It doesn’t work that way. Names of those corporations are synonymous with “cheaters and exploiters” amongst new players, which almost immediately kills the joy of playing this game. With lowering loot value in open space, people don’t want to fly there any more. Changes to matchmaking leaded to situations where three T1s squad was met with ESB two people R6 squad. Guess what was the reaction from those newbies? Yes, they’ve heard of ESB, DNO and whatnot. They just said “f…word cheaters again” and all three disconnected. Is that the direction of this game? To get more people disconnect?
and to end this OT rant:
After 15 months of active playing, spending proper amount of money to show the support for this game instead of going to nice, tropical holidays, I reached the point where I just can’t see this game can improve any more. With all those unsupported promises and stupid changes based on imaginary “majority of players” (sorry I just CANT see that REALLY majority of players - which means T2s T3s and occasional higher tiers would ie. requested the 80-90% nerf in Open Space loot value or 10 fold increase in resistance or requested a mission like below: )

I know most of you don’t give a rat’s xxxx about it, but I resigned from the position of NASA officer. I will play the game as I like flying in space in nice ships but I’m sorry - I will not support the game any more unless something drastically will change.
So true, where can I sign?
How in the name of the devil can I honestly tell a recruit that everything is fair and square when we KNOW about those things. Until now, we mostly accepted the fact. That was, until some joker came along and did two things:
Why did I even like the post below? I feel so ashamed because I was falling for this April’s fools joke.
It is true.
Some people, which paid with GS currency, got the possibility to increase their storage of Iridium Corporate supply.
That option was later removed from the game. Very similar like some tier 3 equipment then got removed and put on higher tiers, but those who had it already, they have kept it.
Same goes for some Invasion made modules or equipment. I must say, that I wouldn’t mind, if there would still be the option do so, but since there were no options any longer, only people who must have known about this, used this for their own gains.
True that as well. But we didn’t complain because it was promised to level the playing field before dreadnoughts would be here. Promise? Broken. Again.
I am sad, I am frustrated, I am disappointed. Worst of all: I feel betrayed. And I ask you, managers and developers and kin alike: Why. Why do you do that.
I wonder how long this post survives. :008j:
It might have been before I joined the game, but I have honestly never heard of it.
