While I agree with the sentiment that this isn't a charity, I hope anyone using this phrase on the forum of a MMO is doing so ironically.

11. Everything a dev does or doesn't do is a slap in the face aimed personally at you.

Dark Age of Camelot

Every time someone plays the "Founder" card, Santa drowns a baby reindeer. Think of the reindeer, and get over your whiny, entitled self.

Double XP...LOL. Maybe people can hit 65 by Tattooine now without even trying! There are probably FB games that require more thought to play now.

Elitist!!!

It was always a single player game with a sub as far as I was concerned. The few stretches I've played since F2P, I've been subbed just for the QoL stuff free/preferred players have to unlock (same with LotRO), but I honestly can't justify subbing to this game ever again once my account expires on the 7th, unless 5.0 or w/e makes serious changes. Between 4.0 making the game so stupidly easy now that it's no fun, and having ZERO interest in this KotFE BS, I have no desire to play even for free. Posting on the forums without getting infractions is more fun and challenging than the game in its' current state.

Way ahead of you... I'm happy to disappoint you.

...aaaaaaaand people are making rage threads because they set stupidly high expectations for the big announcement, despite 4 years of experience telling them to expect otherwise lol. Also to no one's surprise, every special snowflake needs their own thread to cry about it.

I know right? People read what they want to believe instead of what is clearly written.

The fact these threads continue to occur is a sign of laziness of players, not a sign there is a problem with the market. *Some* have grudgingly accepted *partial* blame, and yet instead of learning from their mistake, are asking Bioware to waste time changing market code so they can be extra lazy or careless in the future. TBH I don't care if people rage quit because they didn't pay attention to what they were doing...they'd probably rage quit the first time their FOTM spec got nerfed, anyway. If there was an actual scam involved, I would be for fixing it, and punishing scammers...but there isn't. Not a scam. It's called "Market PvP".

I actually never do this. I play EVE (where it's a way of life) and I don't do it there, either, but this thread is making me want to. Use the tools you're given, and it's literally impossible for this to happen. If you sort items low to high price, how does this even happen?!?

Because I'm effin sick of nothing being anyone's fault, even in a frickin video game. No one wants to take responsibility to take a couple seconds to make sure they're buying what they think they're buying and for how much, that's why... Instead of asking devs to change the code for the market when there are actual bugs to hunt down, how about pay attention to WTH you're doing?

Someone's inability to differentiate 8,000,000 from 800,000 is not a scam. There is no deception involved. The item being sold and price are clearly stated. There's even a frickin confirmation to give you a chance to review your purchase FFS.

WOW dude get some perceptive. They aren't getting their identity stolen IRL. They aren't buying a level 1 white piece of vendor trash thinking they just bought a BiS mod or implant. They overpaid for a clearly defined item because they didn't pay attention to how much they were spending. If making a mistake like that in a meaningless environment like this prevents from losing real money IRL, then take it as a cheap lesson learned. Not having sympathy for people not paying attention spending fake money <> having joy in people screwing up. You're posting a helluva lot for someone that doesn't care about 8M credits. New, inexperienced players don't have 8M credits to drop on one item, and should be paying attention, regardless.

Hard to ban credit sellers in a F2P game, unless you want to keep free/preferred players from using general chat and email. I've reported email spammers and have gotten an email from the same toon a week later. BioWare doesn't care. Even when they do get around to banning sellers, as soon as they're banned, they just make a new account.

Uh, no. They said it's not an exploit, and took no position on whether or not it's a scam. Either it's a scam or it isn't. If it were a scam, it would be actionable. Go ahead and file a ticket if you accidentally pay 8M for something, and see if they refund your credits. The fact they won't says they aren't considering it a scam. It's a "buyer beware" situation. So AFKing the game isn't bad enough, people want to be able to AFK shop as well. Great... I don't scam the market. I barely use it, and am more likely to buy than sell. The solution is frickin pay attention to what you're buying, and quit expecting to have your hand held.

In most cases, I'd mock the OP for being condescending, but there are idiots that will say it's a slap in the face whatever the announcement is.

See green highlighted portion of full quote. Not a scam no matter how bad you want it to be.

BioWare disagrees. It took me about 0.5 seconds to tell the difference between the items selling for ~5k credits vs the one selling for 4.4M in your example. 3 decimal places on prices are NOT common (in America at least), so that should be an extra hint, even if you fail at math so bad you can't see an extra digit. Learn to pay attention.

Sadly, QFT

Ultima Online and Dark Age of Camelot are both EA properties, and both have fewer than 5000 subs left, no F2P option, and both are still running. I don't know about UO, but DAoC is still getting updates. It's safe to say this game will be around until the license expires and either Disney or EA choose to not renew. It won't die from lack of players regardless of how bad they eff this game up by making so easy a 6 year old can beat 95%+ of the content.

Not a scam. You agreed to pay a certain amount for a certain item. You got your item for the agreed upon price. I went to a sporting event the other day and paid $6 for a 16 ounce beer. Is that a scam? NO! Is it a rip off? Hell yeah! There's a difference. If it was colored water and not beer, then it would have been a scam. Learn to pay attention to what you're doing. I always sort by unit price when I use the GTN...never paid more than I intended. It's virtually impossible to scam on the GTN in this game. Go play EVE Online, where it's not only encouraged to scam people on the market, but where there are tools and market skills that actually help you scam people. In case you missed BW's official stance on this...not a scam Cry babies in this thread wouldn't last 5 minutes in EVE.

With the avalanche of tears over removing God mode companions, can you imagine what would happen if you have to gear them again?

You'll get to pick which two are active. Yes, you keep your progress. IIRC you can buy an unlock for that 3rd slot, too.
