People who dont do agent missions wont want a rollback, mission runners who have made a fortune wont want a rollback, the only people who will are the ones who feel they have wasted the last few weeks/months in preparation for castor.
Personally i dont want a roll back, but just fixing the problem and not doing anything about how it will impact the game seems ratehr short sighted.
2 things which concern me are..
1, I was able to do lvl 3 agent missions for around 1 hour before the bugs stopped me. In this one hour alone I made well over 200mil from skills. I have effectivly been locked out of this for 22hour compared to those who had no problems.
2, Due to that **** up with the standings, i am now a minimum of 36 hours behind anyone else who has started building up research points in the skills im working on already. With no sign of a fix anytime soon this gap is only going to get bigger.
So not only do a select few get to make many 100mil's of isk per hour for over 20 hours, they also get the added bonus of a jump start on the researching. WTF happened to the slow introduction and an equal chance for all?
I have spent 40-80 hours pre castor working towards being in the right position for when this patch hit. I left a lucritive bistot mining setup in venal to specilise in agent missions, this alone has cost me 20mil per hour i would have been earning instead of doing these missions. The last 3 weeks I have turned my skill training attentions to those skills required for the research skills.
No need to say it, but ive wasted many mils of isk, many hours of time in both misson time and training time, based on yet another promise which has been broken by CCP. To make things worse im now hearing rumours that the rewards for agent mission have been heavily nerfed, wont be the first time we have seen CCP go into panic mode and go over the top.
Dont expect agent skills/CC drop in price anytime soon, the drop rates have been nerfed and im sure those building who got in before the nerf are gonna want to make as much isk as possible out of their stuff, wouldn't you?
The devs knew about the reward problem for over 23 hours before a fix was made. If this was everquest the server would have been brought down at once, and stayed down until it was fixed. |
