And by the way, those 'people' you're referring to? Welcome to my life the majority of the time. Please stop talking about me, I can speak for myself.

So, how would your "the customer is always right" philosophy resolve a demand that involves violating conventional laws of spacetime?

I'm getting really, really P.O.ed. I think I've tinkered with every damn thing I can think of on my computer to make sure it's not me, and I've searched the forum to make sure others have been having the issue (sure enough I've found some threads). I've even gone so far as updating my video drivers and opening up the computer while its running to take a peek inside.

The lag remains a constant thorn. Sometimes it'll even stop and I get a few fun moments of clarity, but then the lag starts up all over again.

So, yeah... post here if you have lag.

You have got some serious blinders on, buddy. I know how it is; the idea that your group (whatever it may be) is the real, true supporters and what is good for them is good for the game... it's very appealing. It's also wrong. Base builders are no more the "most loyal" subscribers than marketeers, PVPers, or RPers.

Do you really believe that people don't develop attachments to their characters, as strong and stronger than your attachment to a base? You're as crazy as you seem to be if that's your honest belief.

Bases are not interesting to a large number of people, either.

Look. You really enjoy bases and they seem to be the best part of the game for you. You gotta understand that base building isn't the core game and won't ever get the kind of attention that other parts get. I wish the tools were better. I really do. I don't expect them to ever be made better, because once you step outside the circle of dedicated base builders, you realize that many (most?) players just don't care that much about bases. They are not going to bat an eyelash if their SG base is a perfunctory, ugly mess that has a couple rooms full of porters and some insp storage. They just don't value it enough to put forth the effort, so they are happy with function over form. That doesn't mean they are bad people or somehow less loyal than you are. It just means they enjoy and value different aspects of the game.

If your schedule is so busy that you can really only play in those 2-3 day time slots, I don't really see how this is NCSoft's problem. Most people get more then 3 days off a month, and so they're catering to the majority.

I disagree with some of what's being said in this thread. And I have zero inhibitions about saying so. If you interpret that as an attack, that's entirely your hangup.

-the insane ambush spam in Praetoria
-bad writing in arcs and the railroading in the likes of Dr Graves
-the lack of revamps instead of new shinies, because someone still hasn't twigged that revamps are a two-in-one package, since you remove old tripe and get new shinies BY DEFAULT.

Not whining and kvetching about a damn physical server move which we're lucky took 9 and not 12 hours and they had the good courtesy to tell us when they are under NO obligation to do so.

What was your point again?

It's used so that you don't spam a thread with replies to single posts. It's used so that you don't have to waste so much time loading pages when you could just go down the page clicking a button, then replying to all of them at once. :/

Your violation of forum policy has been noted.

I'm simply saying something you dislike, and therefore don't want to hear. It doesn't mean that what I'm telling you is wrong or incorrect or offensive (or intended to be any of the above).

Sure, this intolerance of certain types of behavior doesn't always make me a lot of friends.

Ask me if I care.

Forum rules prohibit me from expressing the appropriate response to this notion.
