It didn't really take a lot of time to preform a single swipe scroll to access a thread that's in the top 5 threads of a board. Wanna explain your definition of "looking up"? Look at the first three threads in "off topic " board. Are you still gonna sit there with a straight face and imply I had to go digging... But for everyones sensitivities, I will edit my posts in this thread so they're more palatable to you(yall). Even a shallow grave is best dug with a shovel. Enjoy your stay here, but again, please be respectful of others on this forum. To answer your original question, no I am not trying to rile people up. I'm just stating an objective truth; Pix doesn't make mistakes. It's like that saying, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. ...but fool me 9 times? I will be more consciencous of my verbiage. |

I will be more consciencous of my verbiage. Ok, to respond to your subjective truth, I'll say that Pix's greatest mistake is fundamental and around the era of the dash bots. Don't get me wrong, the dash bots were powerful but not OP. But, they started the trend to release newer and more powerful content. As someone from Pix once said, "they're in the business to sell power". The dash bots alone weren't the problem, just the trend they started. The real problem started with the Mk2 system. Again, on it's own, not a big deal as there was a vacuum for those who had maxed their gear and were in the "end game". The mistake is that Pix kept pushing this without balancing the game somehow for those who did not have the resources to keep up with all the rapid changes. Their monetization strategy became one that is not sustainable in the long term. They have developed themselves into a corner where they now must continue delivering newer/better/stronger content, and when they can't, they nerf existing content to compensate. Lot's of folks have left the game and moved on to greener pastures. But, more still have remained and continue to play. Nothing wrong with either path, at the end of the day, it's a game. People come here to vent, and there's nothing wrong with that too. That's what a forum is about after all. And that's just my opinion, so take it with a healthy dose of salt. |

Back and read this later. For some reason it's hard to see the words everything's kinda blurry. |

No, that's what I'm telling you, it wasn't a mistake. None of those were mistakes. Their monetization strategy is working as intended. It is working. It is a 100% proven working system, and Pixonic is just a drop in the ocean of game developers who utilize this model. Just because YOU think it was folly doesn't mean they didn't do it on absolute purpose. I fully agree with your thoughts on all those things, it still doesn't change that it was intentional. It was not a mistake. Their timetable has been in-stone clockwork since mail.ru |

At the end of the day, it's the consumer at fault for willingly being duped again and again. And honestly man, the more I read on here, or their YouTube channel or even that reddit, the more I find myself siding and aligning with Pixonic.
They are mercilessly greedy, manipulative and corrupt people, and I'll hold hands with that any day over blind self-righteous idiocy in denial.
Like the guy from Spaceballs said "Evil will always win because Good is dumb"

I think we are arguing semantics. Yes, Pix does not perceive a mistake on their part as it is part of their "master plan". But from the viewpoint of the players, they are mistakes.
