Why I decided to quit Lost ark After having 3 characters in T3, and having completed the most recent "Argos" content

I’m starting to develop severe rashes from posts with CAPITALIZED random words for EMPHASIS.

oh that’s nice and good to hear.

Lol, you really don’t understand how human beings work very well, that’s for sure.

You’re not mad at the game.

You’re mad at yourself for being bought in by the honeyed lies of Shroud, Rich, etc.

They did the same thing with New World, made out it was the greatest game ever when you could see on their face they would rather do anything else.

Those of us that have listened to the Korean playerbase/kept up to date/played knew Argos was not remotely worth what they did, not forgetting these guys are literal millionaires so throwing mad money like that for them is a drop in the ocean.

They decieved the playerbase as they did with New World

They fed you a false narrative that you have to whale to enjoy the game

They went against everything the Korean playerbase has said for 3 years.

For “Content” hits and revenue over an accurate portrayal of the games systems and how you can progress at a decent rate without ever dropping a dime.

They got you, hook, line and sinker along with so many others.

If anyone should be apologising it’s the Streamers for the con artistry they pulled for the second time while doing an AGS affilate sponsored stream game.

That’s what grown adults do you see.

There comes a time when you finally realise, it’s wasted breath and nobody is going to listen if you’re screaming loudly. So you do the adult thing and take your business elsewhere.

Now, that’s the interesting part because yes, so called grown adults still do that, because maturity is a mindset with no age limit. A teenager can be incredibly mature and a grown ass man can be a massive man child.

Maturity is when you realise the power is not your voice, but your money.

Walk away, you deny it.

I love this game but the down trend of players logging is pretty extreme according to the charts we have available and it going pretty much the same route new world it if not a little behind. Theres one connection that links the 2 and with lost ark being successful in other regions we can blame amazon. Theyve been far too slow on the button just like new world.

that’s just wrong materials you are using then :slight_smile: Nothing can match NW relative fall. And this game is on average with other “popular” MMO releases. (Popular = known and anticipated. The ones that nobody knows of when they are released are an exception as their curve is different.)

Lost Ark NA is a classic server release of Lost Ark KR. We know all the content of the full game, and see how much we have gated. You then spend 10-12 hours a day rushing directly to the end of the released content and complain there is nothing to do. Rusher hit the content wall in WOW every time there is a new expansion because they want world / server first bragging rights and this game is no different. D3 when a new season is released has people race to the end, get high on the leaderboard and then quit. Even Elden Ring now has speed runs of under 30 mins.

AGS fumbled the ball by not having their roadmap laid out on how to release this game. They should have known beforehand how content was going to be released and when. This “collecting data” before reacting isn’t a good business model and doesn’t build customer confidence that you know what you are doing.

p.s Make your own guild and only invite people with 1370+ ilevel to tackle the content you want to do.

Almost every endeavour is an attempt to make money in one way or another. That’s not predatory, that’s survival.

Exactly what I started doing from the beginning. Slowly creating a casual environment for the folks that want to play and progress steadily, but not be pressured. Once we’re at the end game, we’ll slowly move away from the matchmaking and start playing together more often.

Why do anyone should care about it?

May the other games suite you better. You deserve to have fun as a gamer.

Oh no! Anyway…

I knew as soon as the people who rushed the content got to end game they would bail, no amount of content would ever satisfy them, blaming the game instead of the way they play, have fun in WoW and FF14.

same I got bored too… I do my 2 chaos dungeon and alt+f4 the game just can’t be bothered anymore

EverQuest and Ultima Online want to have a word with you. Probably more but those are the two I played prior to WoW.

World of warcraft will never be forgotten.

When you quit, you should delete your character aswell. Just so you won’t be tempted to comeback to this horrible game.

Plenty of MMO’s before wow. I played EverQuest from 1999 to 2006 before I even tried wow. And half the spell names and classes were ripped off from some other MMO or fantasy genre.
Wow was the first one to dumb down and remove the penalties that made most other mmos just too difficult for casual players.
