It is what they do, it’s dishonest marketing philosophy, not only with that survey and the change to money milking bazaar items (10 bucks for a ■■■■■■ camp fire? O_o), but also with, for example, the “art contest” they had this year. When you do not want to pay hard working artists but have all the rights to their content for free, and pay them nothing but with made up currency and reward them by using their content to sell to yet other players, you just call it a contest and profit.

The survey did not really help us, I haven’t bought a thing from Funcom since they stopped bringing out DLCs (except for trying the battlepass once), I simply cannot afford their bazaar items and the battlepass is never worth it, it’s tedious labor for crap as a reward.

I agree that the age of sorcery was interesting, thought it only gives magic in return for corruption and that doesn’t really help RP, if that is what one is interested in. I am all for balancing and everything has a price, but what Funcom is the worst at it just that: balancing. They are totally out of touch with their own game and its design. Age of War brought horrible balancing with it, the game is underwhelming and the stamina regen is so quick, it turns PvP and PvE into a no brainer even for someone like me who is horrible at it. Access to server settings and mods to set up something more challenging to fight be blessed, and that tells you once more that without mods, this game would be nonsense.

I also really do agree with your commentary on the golems. For very few RP scenarios they’d work, but they do not really fit into actual Conan imo. Plus they do crash servers, so our team has them entirely banned, too. °-° We tried having them used Season 1 and the crash sure as hecc came, I do remember the logs as if it was yesterday. Very sadge.
