Actually I'm paid for several months, since Sony doesn't offer refunds I'm stuck until then. If issues aren't resolved by then yes, I will be quitting. I'm paid up on EQ and EQ2 until March, nothing I can do until then. Give away my stuff, never, sell it... quite possibly.
Its not just this issue, there are many. Today stat food took a huge hit in its duration... Many equippable items have had their skill level raised or slot changed, causing all kinds of headaches for players. Honestly, its childish development **** that the biggest player in the field shouldn't be suffering from. Fix the ******* problems Sony and maybe you can retain people. If not you HAVE gotten the last of my money.
But, in this genre, "Balance" is the name of the game.
Seriously. There is, quite simply, no humanly possible way for a relative handful of developers, QA staff, and a few thousand beta testers, to get it all nailed down before release. If this was a "Quake" or a "Half Life 2", it would be a different story. But no development team can anticipate every trick, exploit, etc., that 500000 motivated paying customers can think of.
An exploit, imbalance, or bug in a standalone game is an annoyance. In an MMO, however, it is potentially catastrophic. I'd rather be pissed off for a little while that my pet item was nerfed, then have the game brought to its knees and totally ruined.
