Well I as a New Player can definitely see where Dainan is coming from although he seems to be very angry about it which is not something I share. I'm trying to be more of a 'When in Rome' type of person here.
Although I might be failing as reading back at my previous posts I could maybe had written them a little better. My problem is I tend to get frustrated very easily which is believe it or not, a complement to this game. It means I like it and want it to be better but I think I could express it differently and I am sorry if I insulted anyone or came at this subject in a bad way.
(when I say 'Vets' I mean old school players ;))
I don't think its really about the Vets not wanting their game to change as its more like they really don't want another World of Warcraft. I can understand that as that would take away from the charm (being the uniqueness) of this game. Now I would argue that there is a reason that 10 million people play WoW but again this is a different MMO. ( I want to make sure to be clear here. I am not a WoW fanboy. My total time playing WoW in the last 8 years is about 2 total months of playing. But I do play other MMOs and the first thing I notice in any game is its mechanics ).
Maybe some kind of compromise needs to happen with the Vets and the Noobs. I have definitely noticed that any suggestion from myself is basically answered like "No, we do it like this" and I really think that mentality could be better.
For example one thing I would like is for the name of each member of a Team to be a different color (when looking at team boxes on the side) and then tiny arrows (like the compass arrow but smaller) added to the compass with those colors so that you can easily head towards any member of your team at a glance.
Now the answer to this will probably be: "you can right click the compass and select the member" which is fine and that does work but IMHO is not the best way to do it and could be better.
Thats just one example of what I'm talking about. I would like to maybe see just a little bit more of "Ya, maybe there is a better way" rather than "We can already do this albeit in a less sufficient way"
I think I will try to check out the features and suggestions part of this and see if I can contribute positively there.
Take care and I look forward to seeing everyone in game.
