if they want to play by themselves then why did they buy an online-only game?

hey guess what

it's their game

so deal with it or quit

or i guess you could come to a forum and whine that's good too

Yep and much like the official information put out by the company, much of it is misinformation, out of date, or just wrong. Prima is a third party who makes money off of writing guides and is not affiliated with ANY of the companies that they print guides for. They must also obtain rights to printing the guide as well, which is why you get all the anet stamps all over it.

But in all seriousness, you could be better off just reading off the homepage here and get a better picture of how the game works. Unless of course you dont know how to look at things like the game's keymapping, or know how to click the mouse.

I'm not quite sure how often i have to quote the several interviews and comments and screenshots to get it through YOUR thick skull. I'm in doubt a billion times would be enough.

This is where we differ.. I speak the truth of my gaming experience ( i have seen no change in drops and so thats what i say), you pin point out one pesron and disagree with them... Sadly your attack has failed, but i thank you anyways you droped what i was looking for, I now have +30 armor against trolls. So next time please keep your pesonal flames to PMs.

Anyways time to get back on topic..

Seriously, the deserter quest chestrun was the best example that they can change drops without doing an update for it alltogether. It just stopped spitting out rares from everyone of those 4-5 chests.
There is a difference between the typical "everything is getting nerfed" paranoia which is equal to the "everyone leaving a city is a bot" paranoia AND the true fact that some drops WERE changed due to balancing.

And a sidenote on stylistic means:
The word "you" can describe one person, but it can also describe a multiple of persons. And i'm quite sure it is quite clear that i was referring to everyone who is a antifarming fanatic. Don't think you're that much of an important troll that writing "you" and taking a piece of your trollbluberish (thick head) will point out i'm solely referring to you. Guess what? That's not the case.
And for the peace of all and the topic...

If you can not tell im trying to ignore your comments so i stay out of trouble, i suggest you do the same. This thread was fine until you had to point out the one person who dose not believe in the top secret nerfing, I dodge nothing, on any other forum id gladly express my feelings on what you but im afraid i must hold back here,unlike some people. Odd.. the one person who disagrees with the secret nerfing theory is the only one accused of trolling. And yet no one mentions how this is like the 100th thread on unmentioned nerfs.

I still think all these "phantom nerfs" (not the monsters in the game but rather a term) are just bad luck, ive never had good enough luck finding "omg 100K gold felblade" but that does not mean anet is beating me a bloodly pulp with the dreaded bat of nerfing. I have my good drop days and my bad drop days, simple as that, no nerf bat included.

Thats silly, If I payed 49.99 for halo and I wanted a traditional CRPG should I be able to moan and complain it's a first person shooter? Of course not, it is a first persons shooter, was designed that way and marketed that way. Like wise guildwars is a team game - if you want to play with no other human characters there are henchman. Based on the box art/descrition you may be pissed that the henchman suck on several missions (box did promise otherwise and they do suck on some missions), but nowhere did it even give the impression that one can solo the game. In fact it was quite clear that it was a team game, that put me off for some time (thankfully I decided to give it a go anyways).

To note for your future gaming purchases, do not purchase an online game if you want a solo experience - bad idea. I've played games since the first pong game. I've seen the advent of online gaming and I have yet to see a commercial online game that stresses, or even makes easy, solo single player online gaming (why incure the cost of servers when it is easier and cheaper to just make it local?). In the future if a game requires an internet connection assume that solo play is going to be hard or impossible, and if found to be easy quickly nerfed. You will be a happier gamer if you stay away from those games and focus on non-internet based games. If you continue in this thought process of wanting online coopertive games to be solo-able you will be a VERY unhappy gamer.
