I think the issue here is that the devs are severely overestimating the number of people the new patch is going to bring in. Basically, they assume the new people will spend enough money to replace the old. Part of the problem is the server numbers after a new patch is deceptive, it doesn't include player retention the weeks following the patch. Not to mention there is healthy competition in the MMO space, and let's be honest with ourselves. XLgames patches are already severely lacking in the content department, the "content" is mostly unlikable reworks. Adding custom unpopular reworks on pre-existing reworks that everyone already hates isn't going to help player retention.WHY!? Why is this necessary???
"... further adjusted in the future..." will be too late for some. We do not have much storage, except for in our houses. We have otherwordly chests and the like to store bound items that we can never get again. We have furniture and decor that is bound and unique. We have special houses even. And we have tons of chests full of resources and stuff. If we lose that, we can't get it back. If i lose everything, if i'm forced out, there is no coming back from that, because i've already lost everything. This is taking away my only reason for logging in every day. What am i supposed to do, log in and look at the grass where i used to have a house?
I can barely afford my taxes already. It has taken a long time and multiple adjustments and strategizing and re-strategizing to find a balance to farm resources on my land to make gold to buy taxes from the auction house to pay for the land, balanced with all the farming/gathering labor and the tax crafting labor. It has been a struggle to pay for what i have. Why are you punishing me even more? I can't do more. I'm at my max limit. I can't afford more.
WHY???
Worst yet, this is going to have far-reaching implications for the economy, though it will take a month or two for that to sink in. The Silver-per-labor ratio will be better spent crafting taxes than doing packs/coinpurses. So expect people to craft taxes, dump them onto the auction house, and then log off. A number of people already do this but expect to see an uptick in this habit.
Expect to see a thread close, I think they're done listening.
