Hello, Im angry. Im very mad. The updates to the game to me stink of SEGA-ron and Three Rings sitting in Mordor squeezing USD$ from people and laughing about it. Im interested in trying to force back my closed midned view of this update and giving either of you two the opportunity to speak for the DEVS. So I invite you to tell us what the developers were hoping to address. Please, we deal with politicians every day of our lives, no run around a simple point to explanation on what has been done and why. In doing so, I hope that you will quell the on going speculation from the community in regards to greediness of SEGA-ron and OOO

I would also like to know what kinds of statistics you look at in regards to the success or failure of a patch/update.

Thank you.

Its a frikkin game.. the

Its a frikkin game.. the point of a game is to play the game, not just get some CE and let other ppl do the playing and make your stuff..
This update made it so that YOU yourself have to acctually play the game to get the stuff you want..

that's nice,

"Its a frikkin game.. the point of a game is to play the game, not just get some CE and let other ppl do the playing and make your stuff..

But some of us like hoarding and crafting things so we could collect/craft some more, this patch just killed all of us who like playing that way.

Rule one of game

Rule one of game development:

Don't force a style of play on the player.

What Three Rings just did:

Forced a style of play on players, broke a rule of development, and got rid of Spiral Knights' end-game. There's literally no end-game anymore. The second you kill Vanaduke, there's no reason to go on. You can just quit. You won the game at that point. Accumulating money will no longer have ANY POINT TO IT.

Certainly would like to see some stuff addressed by the devs...

In particular, the so called balancing. The term is generally understood to address gameplay imbalance, so I would like to know what gameplay problems were posed by affordable high level crafting.
