You folks do have valid complaints. If you ever got the impression that we’re ignoring them, I’d like to dispel that right now: we are reading what you write and taking it to the developers. The Q&A we’re working on should help explain some aspects of the Honor System that were confusing to you.

Yeah, because the Honor System is “confusing”. Not completely broken.

We are not going to take rash action when it comes to the Honor System. This is a major feature that has been worked on for quite some time… it is not something we threw together in five minutes and pushed out there to you. It’s been meticulously designed, tuned, and tested over months. It does change the game somewhat — I won’t deny that — but it is not the disaster some believe it to be.

I say “we’ve seen this before” because we have, with every major feature addition. I’m not throwing your opinions out the window with this remark. I wasn’t here for the Rest System (as a CM; I was as a tester), but when the Durability System and Paladin changes went live, I was in discussions with the development team about your initial reaction to the changes. It’s no different this time — we’re here for you, but at the same time we’re not going to remove the system completely after less than a week of it being live.

Oh my fucking god.

GO READ THIS. It’s MY rant against the RETARDED durability system.

IT WASN’T BROKEN? Again, IT WASN’T BROKEN?

Yes, it was completely broken. In fact it was fixed. But why the fuck these GLARING MISTAKES are NOT ACKNOWLEDGED *BEFORE* a widespread revolt? Is this, really, the result of something “meticulously designed, tuned, and tested over months”?

It’s not possible.
