It's not discrimination, it's simply a requirement.
Just like you need to have experience at something for certain jobs.

With the highlighted bit, could you make a sticky/announcement thread in the suggestion/idea part of the forum and comment on it at various times about specific ideas that you want? For example announcing in say September that you'd like newer ideas for the Hallow's Bane seasonal event, or even just outlining what sort of suggestions you'd prefer to see that month (Currently combat related ideas have been mentioned with zero actions/unable to bump certain players).

Or even just stickied threads about topics to keep them together and easier to comment on (for example each week we get numerous threads suggesting new CT Lab ideas, having one thread for all ideas related to this would make it easier for others to see what ideas have already been given and what advice and criticism are most common.

By the look of things, I have absolutely nothing to look forward to anymore playing GL besides talking to the amazing friends that I would have never met if it weren't for this game.

eh, to me they are all minor issues. Its really hard to see past just the plain whining tbh...just my opinion....

Just Gonna Lob This Out There:

Dan created galaxy legion, he puts in time and effort to add new stuff to the game and fix bugs etc..
People complain there isnt enough content being released- ie 2k+ npcs etc.
People compain and complain.. instead of using manners, these people ignor the ToS and bring it to the forum and blatently rip into dan.

People get banned and its there fault, dan is doing his upmost to keep this game running with new content, and that takes time and what he doesnt need is people like icarium causing trouble. If you have a problem take it to PM's instead of making a thread about it.. (basically look at me thread)
Some people say to stand up to the problem and it will be resolved quicker - your wrong as it slows production of new content.
Oooh you spent thousands on the game... so that is your choice, and then telling others not to spend money on the game to make dan realise what the players need... (that action will not get you anywhere plus get you banned... and its your fault!)

Dan is always polite when on the forum, but only few notice, the rest choose to see it as an opotunity to have ago at him for something in the game.. what happened to the old forum where everyone got along.. you all seem to have turned on each other and dan and all the other mods...

DO YOU ACTUALLY REALISE WHAT DAN AND THE OTHER MODS DO FOR US ALL IN GL?
as i see it not many do, your all too negative to even see the good things these people have done for us all..

If you dont like the way GL is now, Theres always FarmVille...

Thanks

Why isn't this thread locked so it can die?

Issues at hand have their own threads already, and are more productive

Lmao, off topic but I frakkin' love that GIF of IceDemon's, laugh everytime I see that thing... That's a true flop.

Here's my opinion (since all of us were asked to come read this):

I've played lots of MMOs. Yeah, there's problems. Yeah, a lot of us have spent money. It *is* a free game, though, and Dan is just not a fantastic coder. Dan does need money to operate the game and he does need money because it's his job. I've definitely played better free MMOs that had stuff for purchase, and have spent much more. We know what to expect in this game when we buy things, for the most part. Buying things isn't going to make this not a Facebook game that is poorly coded. If anything, he'd be better off starting Galaxy Legion 2 or another game. I don't regret spending the money that I've also spent because I rationalized whether it was worth it or not and even if it wasn't really worth it, it was in that way at the time or I would have spent it on some other #&$# that would have been wasted. I didn't think my pizza yesterday was an outstanding choice for my weight, but it was good at the time and I am not gonna #$&*@ to the pizza guy. Adding content to this game takes a LOT of work and all high level players are going to burn through it quicker than it can be produced. I've made friends and had fun on this game and that's what my money went towards. There are some things in this game that can not be fixed in a fair way, *ever*. The money I paid did provide entertainment for a long time of play.

People threatening to not spend money on the game and to quit shouldn't really inspire him to add loads of content, it should inspire him to make another game. The best potential customer for Dan is a lower level player, *anyhow*, and that should really be his target market, business wise. Sorry, guys, but it is true!

I'm not gonna post anymore about this, cause I'm sure this will be picked to bits and I really don't care I only logged on because of this.

The reason this arose was not for lack of new content it was the Removal of existing content for some ranks and bugs that have plagued the game for years.

If I did it, I'd feel obliged to keep my mouth shut a little more.

That actually doesn't sound too bad...

: P

I vote for Ferrus!

I never spent any money and I do well for myself

So those radiant cannons and fathers just appeared? whether or not you used real cash for them they are a gp only option.

Few thoughts and keeping them brief for a change:

1. GL is best game on Facebook
2. The game is Dan's intellectual property. He can and should back out of any book deal he doesn't like.
3. I have spent money and time; and I am a loyal customer.
4. I like the mods and owners to respond; even if I disagree with the answer, at least do me the courtesy of giving me one.
5. I dislike rudeness and impatience. The Op was out of line and we all know it. Perm ban might be a bit of over reaction though.
6. Used to be against Darth, but he won me over. And he is right, all players will have some bias.
7. Mojo fo sho!


"So those radiant cannons and fathers just appeared?" I literally laughed out loud!

"waah wahh i paid money now give me what i want"

If you dont like the service, stop playing, if you dont like the updates, stop playing...
if you dont like the fact new things are being released you have to pay for, stop paying for them, or, of course, stop playing.

its really simple, Dan and his crew are providing a service, if the service is sup-par he will lose income, which of course, is his, friggin, loss.

Thanks to the fact you have more money than sense, you are already at the top of the game content, that's not Dans fault.

.....the ignorance in this post is something we should all endeavor to avoid repeating ourselves.....

I will explain why this is faulty logic, see if you pay for a product from a company you long went to for their product and then they have a sudden change of the quality of said product would you automatically go "ok nice knowing you good bye" from the first couple slip ups?

No you would have a little hope and trust that if you pointed out the change that it would be rectified in a somewhat timely manner, now if they did what has happened with GL and only addressed tid bits of the issues here and their while hardly having at all any customer feed back the people buying the product would start to become annoyed and vocal but not yet ready to abandon what was once a good company.

Yes dan is the one who made the game but who is the ones who made it possible? Shut out or alienate those people and the game dies just as sure as if dan pulled the plug out of the wall for the server.

In the end though the major issue here is the lack of trust the player base has issues trusting dan his latest actions have damaged that trust even more granted new mods are a STEP in the right direction, but it will take more then that to fix the issue on hand.

thats a pretty poor analogy, if you want to compare it to a shop, he has brought a product, he has enjoyed that product, but now the shop has different things in stock and he is pissed off about it.
"oh the products are lower quality than they used to be? lets continue forking over money for them in the hope they get better again."

Also to add on to what everyone is talking about with the mods, picking players to be mods will be....tricky to put it bluntly yes you will need people who are calm level headed helpful and most importantly not bias with their dealings, these might be able to turn the forums into a state of organized chaos but they will need to do more then just that.

The mods will also need to be able to freely communicate with dan and act as his mouth pieces so to speak and that will be the hardest part I'm afraid. All I can say is I don't envy the poor sods who get the job because to say they have a mess to sort out is the understatement of a lifetime.

its funny the timing of this post when new content coming in june has already been announced by dan. im sure it wont fix all the problems but at least its something
