I'm beginning to wish I didn't spend so much on CE.

The patches are really getting to me. I don't even know if it will affect my gameplay all that much, but I'm pretty sure we're gonna lose a bunch more players to ragequitting. People who were doing these exploits are probably all good players. That means more lame PuGs. As it stands, I only have 7 or my 100+ friends list log on with enough regularity to run with. Even my guild is on hiatus.
I'm getting to the point of offering my character's stuff for whoever wants to pay the debind and walk away.
We'll see if Candlestick Park, or whatever it is is worth it.
I feel bad, guys. This depresses me, and I'm tired of disliking a game that I find so much fun when it's working right. I just want to play the game and fight the monsters. That's all. DOdge-battles with Devilites and playing chicken with Lumbers. It's fun, but there's so many bad points to the whole process up to actually playing.

Item magnet. 400 CE for 7 days. Doubles the pickup radius.

I'll take the leftovers BigFootM won't have here (IGN Arca).
Also, I know that feel. The game is crazy fun, but only when you're not limited senseless by the cost on everything (even sending mail: it's worse than making a phonecall, what the heck). Pity the way the game runs on a pretty solid system it won't change for that anytime soon.

Sending mail has a cost? I didn't know that, having never sent mail myself...
Anyway, I'm with joe2. I don't like the 90-second rule, especially since there's that part in the Scarlet Fortress where you have to throw pots at kats. But aside from that I don't see anything in this recent update that would make the game less fan, except maybe the 1 UV ticket is 20k now.

@joe2
Well, it started with the crafting patch from a while back. People were making a brisk business working within the game mechanics to sell good armor and weapons, so they jacked up the price and CE cost...but at the same time letting the Auction House run unabated. As I was a fresh T2 knight, that hurt, as gear became a lot more expensive to craft.
The AFK patch was installed specifically for people (like me) who were protesting the exclusivity of certain items via non-SK gameplay. In doing so, they've also stuck it to the players who've got bad connections. (also me). I still maintain that the only reason AFKers hurt the gameplay in Bomb Network was the flawed, and useless, leaderboard in which non-players could rank. I didn't want leaderboard power, I wanted a triglav.
Also...why on earth does this game lag so much? Blame router problems all you want, but when the ultra-fast FPS games can run at full clip but an overhead chibi game can't, something needs tooling.
So, On to this latest patch. Seems like a "bigger hammer" solution to the exploit problem. It seems that this is the modus operandi of the devs...which makes me wonder how the game will continue to evolve, then get smashed down again.
I don't think this game should have been an MMO. SHoulda been a hack/slasher with a defined XP system, not a gear-based system built on a public economy run by truant pubes.

Dark Ritual is a lie
Don't give anything to BigFootM. Check his inventory out, he's like kitted out for every occasion. :<
You're better off just letting the stuff rot in your inventory or sell everything to the Strangers and cash out (via TF2).

Heh, yeah..
Dilbert77's got it, and it's absolutely ludicrous.
Well, whatever. tengu, I have no idea what makes you think so, but AFKers in Blast Network don't deserve a thing. If you AFK'd 100 Krogmo Coins they should take them off you, and if you purchased something with them... Well, let them remove the recipe from your list and remove the item. How's'at.
AFKers won't get my sympathy, so I might as well support the "get-the-suicider's-stuff" movement that's been going on. Strip him, folks.

People who were doing these exploits are probably all good players.
Depends on the definition of "good." Besides, the players who were exploiting would:
1) go solo
2) loop
so they wouldn't be found in pick up groups.

This.
These players sure as hell don't fit in my definition of 'good'.

"I don't think this game should have been an MMO. SHoulda been a hack/slasher with a defined XP system, not a gear-based system built on a public economy run by truant pubes."
Thanks for saying this because it puts into words feelings I've had pretty much since I started playing. I would love nothing better than an environment where I can kill monsters (with the same fun combat system) for hours WITHOUT worrying about profits before all else. Moneymaking isn't a fun part of the game, but it's the only part of the game that is rewarding, by design.
I'll take your stuff. Anyway, I'm Moreso mad Bout that 90 second Rule, think Bout like when your in a last room t3 arena with no time to grab anything and such.
