I believe that if the GM removes Ely ore, people will still find something else to complain about. These days, we don’t have players we just have people who are good at typing.
It's like always GM do this or GM, please do that.
Mir people have always been like this.
How did you feel about GM removing bound items? Were you all for it? Did you agree that 'bound items' were 'killing' the server? If so, why was it OK to remove bound but not reexamine what Elysian Orbs have done to the server?
Buddy, many people have given up, but you put it down to 'moaning' or (bizarrely) people who would rather type than play the game.
How about asking why such a large number of completely different people, with different playing styles and from different guilds feel like this.
I completely agree with Roy's post (never thought I would see the day) that a few of the 'top' players seem perfectly content to have things all their own way and will be blissfully happy sinking with the ship.
It's easy to post that people are just 'moaners' or lack the 'leet' skills to play the game, far harder to get to the bottom of why a once thriving server has lost so many long term players.
For me, I really think some of the fun has gone from the server. This seemed to coincide with the introduction of Elysian Ore.
I personally will not play if I no longer feel I am achieving. Note, I do not want to achieve instantly, I do not want my achievements handed to me on a platter, nor do I wish to spend considerable sums of money. I have now lost (and hence why I barely log in anymore) any sense of achievement when I play. Thats my reason.
Maybe the new content will address this but I still get no sense that there is any understanding as to why what once made so many people happy now only sates a few.
