This Just In: Your Opinion Does Not Matter!

[Gutsy]

I dunno, I would like to assume the the Asian player based is complaining about a lot of the stuff that we have been complaining about.

Post release, the amount of QQing on the official forums from people who truly expect anything different and any sort of major changes is going to be an amusing site to see.

I concur with this post.

Changes are made around the Korean audience as they are smarter and much more massive in population size than the U.S. audience.

So, do you see all of the things that are bugging you in game right now? Well, unless the Koreans have complained about it, it will stay that way. There is no changing based on your perspective. The only thing the NCwest team will do is "localization" (ie: translations) and bringing you news about changes and patches. That. is. all.

Please don't think that you can change this game from voicing your opinion or griping about certain things. This is not the WoW developers we're talking about here. These are overseas developers who cater to their intended audience and you are, in fact, just a side audience. Imagine a parent that buys the older child all the newer clothes. Then, when the child outgrows those clothes, they are handed down to a younger child that gets no say.

The Koreans are the older child. You are the younger child. Do I make myself clear?

Your opinion doesn't matter.

Historically, games developers pay no attention whatsoever to any of their players and do whatever the hell they want. Why should they, we are not their freinds, we just buy what they make. Their aim is not even to make good games, they say so but they are plainly lieing. The driving force behind all business is money. If ignoring the players and not wasting money on improving the game nets more money in the end that will be what is done.

Even if EU/US are a secondary market I see no point why NC should see us as irrelevant. By this logic they wouldn't even launch the game in the west. Anything that goes on market nowadays needs customer support and if a growing number of those arent pleased changes are in order no matter if its east or west.
If something in the game has been made as it is it is so because a majority of players thinks thats better.... If 1 or 2 ******s don't like that they can go play something else just as well.

Good thing I don't ***** about every spelling error and bug in the game like some people do then.

You mean Korean game is Korean?

:O Nu wai?

I would have said it nicer, but OP is correct. There's no way in hell the devs here in Korea are going to change any programming based on something the US market wants, unless the Koreans have asked for it first.

The game as a whole being more westernized, quest based and less of a grind was actually done for Koreans in the first place, after they witnessed how well WoW did over here.

All that being said, don't worry too much because Koreans want pretty much the same things as western gamers. 99% of the stuff in the suggestion/bugs forums has already been covered in Korea for the past year. Some of that has been fixed/added in patches. Some hasn't.

Well how smart do you really have to be to be smarter then an American?

PS: 90% of what the player comunity sugest is just a load of crap anway... So it does not really matter as if any developer start to do everything that is sugested on the forums we would end up with the crapiest game ever.

Your made-up numbers are wrong.

It's 95%. It's always 95%. (Except for Mondays, it's 96% on Mondays, but it's always 95% for the rest of the week)

But you're forgetting to factor in the oranges!

Indeed, not many americans have actually grasped the concept of reading and writing yet. Especially not on the internets.
