    It's absurd to complain about info of a game that:


    1- It's public data.

    2- It's not personal info.

    3- It doesn't belong to you.

    Well just my 5cents about this...


    I think its not about if its personal or not. When you browse any webpage, use flash or some other programs, you have the right to refuse/deny/prevent those softwares about getting (and specially storage) any data comming from your activity, in whole EU since 2011. As far as i know thats why you are getting "cookies consent" banner in every single webpage, doesnt matter if its a pacman flash game, a VOD platform, or the National Health Service..


    1-Its public? not at all, its private. Maybe you dont have the rights, but thats doesnt make it public.

    2-Its not personal info? Its not, but i think thats kinda out of discussion, if its about personal info, this guy would have the cops knocking his door right now, however before someone use 'your' (and its quoted on purpose) data, personal or not, there should be .. somehow.. a constent.

    3-It doesnt belong to you. Well .. thats the controversial part , as we are not allowed to discuss about laws, i dont go further, btw.. realice that even if you sign a contract rejecting some of your legit rights... that part could be unlawfull and you could still demand them.


    What about a consent option onthe program, and make it only able to upload the self data instead group/ally on? that way only people who actually agreeded about uploading their data would have it there .. and no one could feel injured about it.


    But i guess that could make those website lose visitors or smth?

    OTHER CASE


    why someone would join a forum if you dont like to share opinions? cant see how the criticism towards this game could prevent someone to have fun with it. It has nothing to do with trolling. If people say it was too late its not even flaming, its just an opinion (actually in my personal point of view, its a fact)


    Many of my friends were loyal Aion players and feel forced to leave after 11 years playing because of RNG and unfriendly mechanics for the common human being from the playerbase. The different actions made Publisher/developer side, and maybe and specially the ones they didnt unleashed on a massive getaway on players side.


    The frustration comes because after so many years playing a game, its becomes something else, and its a pity how its being driven. And its not only about the game its "old" or somehting like that.. you can see some private servers crowded.


    If you become mad reading different or dissident opinions from yours you should encourage yourself about not joining forums instead telling other what they are allowed or not to discuss here. No offence involved, im telling this with all my respects.


    This is Steam chart (ofc not the full aion playerbase but i think the trend is quite representative of whats happening here), 50% playerbase lost within 12 months... and this is not opinion, this is a fact , actually its a CONSEQUENCE :thumbdown:


    Well, there's reason why they don't play anymore.

    Also it's not that you have to play to see how the game is, you get all the info on forum anw

    actually, yes you should play it in order to give a valuable opinion (you can speak whenever you want ofc it is a free world, but dont spect people to take you seriously) because then happens that someone says servers are empty when there is like 200 people on each side, in every server, every siege. You know what i mean?

    Well its kinda obvious it depends on personal POV.. even if there are 400 ppl in total in the prime time (lets not discuss wich % are afk/2nd accounts) you think thats a populated server? I still remember how much ppl complained in past with 3000 ppl online because the game was designed for a minimun 5k playerbase per server, or also the /3 "aion is dead" when the Sillus/Prades sieges been attended with 3-4 full leagues of each faction.. do the maths, it was 600 per side instead 400 in total, then it was horrible and now its 'ok' with not even the half ppl?


    Face it, the only reason you can still see somewhere around its that there is no good(or new) mmos around kr style...atm you can see some ppl afk, few whales around, and not much more.. even the /3 its empty. Its a pity but it had to happen, nothing last forever.

    As a final personal conclusion, the game is missing "fair-play". Taking any sport as an analogy the main aspect of the game is "fair-play". You must compete in the same conditions whit no external "help", like doping. So I can think pw2 is equal to doping, steroids, etc.


    I think this is the main issue of the game now. There is no fair play. We have a category of players that evolved to effort, work, given by game mechanics and we have the other category that is on steroids ( p2w).


    And let's do not forget. Any doping is forbidden and if you are using any doping you are excluded. So yes, GF is selling "steroids" :)

    You are not in same conditions with 25 vs 150ping, with wooden pc vs pc master race... and with 12 free hours per day to play vs 2 h... some people who work hard and only can play 2 hours per day actually boost their chars via wallet in order to compete on same conditions with people who just have a lot of free time.. meanwhile they are paying enought to keep the game running for both .. the p2w and the f2p players. So.. maybe its not THAT unfair. (just my 5 cents)

    Well its in their hand to apply the mechanics they think are better for GF's interests...

    as its in our hand, the players, to quit when we think (or realize) that this doesnt worth our time (money or both) at all..


    Im playing this game since NC soft closed beta, thats kinda a lot of time (09/2009) so i guess i was part of that fixed playerbase that its expected to play aion till 'death separate us' and honestly after the huge amounts of stoic resistance spent on more than a decade (fighting with the unpopulated servers, unbalance, lack of contents, RNG, P2W, cheating, and a huge etc across those years) i always thought it would be like that.


    BUT.. its enought.


    You need 417 attack +5 manastones to socket a 4 slot l50 daevanion shoulderplate? ok..


    You need 618 enchantment stones to make you first legendary pvp weap +15 when the rest needed 30? ok..


    You need 27 try in order to craft this or that item? ok..


    Failed x4 lvl 4 minion 4 fuse 19 times in a row? with no S rank minion result? OOOk


    But when this came to transformation, something so RNG and with a huge impact in gaming gap terms.. cmon..


    I made 70x -yeh, 70! and made screenshoots of any of those - legenday xform fusions, trying 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 transformations (all the kind of those) and got nothing.


    Despite of that did all the events you made that gave a 0.001% or w/e chance to get that ultimate transformation, multiaccounting, doing the instances, farm o r w/e with 12 chars each time, of with 6 accounts... so its a lot of time and effort.

    Also tryed p2w.. with no results at all.


    Meanwhile im struggling for more than 1 year now with this.. i see people, casual players, getting x3 ultimates -the same person!- within 1 month... with not much effort, not doing the events, not playing much, just luck on boxes, shugo robot, or w/e


    Its just dissgusting and maddening. I fought for it WAY MORE of whats reasonable.


    In result, i quit Aion 2 days ago for first time in 11 years? Not expecting to come back at all, and im not the only one 2009 player that did the same lately.


    Aion its a great game, but the lack of /care and how the playerbase is 'dealed'.. makes it unworthy -not to put my money on it nor to wast my time anymore-. Im really sad about this, honestly (as this was a small part of my life or my lifestyle, after playing this game likely daily basis for all this years)


    Afer 15.000+ hours played i feel scammed and very dissapointed.


    At least i dont feel my hands are empty, i made nice memories, met a bunch of awesome people, many friends IRL right now..


    Farewell, my old mates.
