I am torn between fool me once shame on you rhetoric and agreeing with him.

I am sure I would have been annoyed had I bought the thing.

Btw, that thread as a Dio sighting.  He is MartinusWyllt.

I learned from the first expansion that I wasted money.

They just don't care how much they fuck the existing players.

Nah. I bought MoTU from the ddomarket several months ago, The emailed instructions in no way matched the onscreen visuals in 'myaccount'. I bought on a Friday, spent the entire weekend on the forums, there, here and google trying to get it right and I could not get 'myaccount' to take the emailed digital download code.

On Monday, I phoned WbGames, and I told them from the very beginning of the phone call I wanted my money back, and yet the chick went through every single step of what I had to do to get 'myaccount' to accept the download code.

I let her get to the end, where all I had to do was click the final confirmation box, and I would be the proud owner of the last expansion!!!!! The expansion I spent 3 fucking days trying to get to understand I legitimately bought it, before I told her there was no way in hell i was going to finalize it, I just wanted my my damn money back(while letting her know  that it was totally incompetent to make the emailed instructions in no way match the myaccount options).

She got so pissed off I waited till the end she didn't even try once again to talk me into applying the final click, and just refunded my payment.

I think he will get his money back, but then again, WB themselves don't give a fuck about Turbine. Means nothing to them at the end of the day if Turbine lives or dies, they only wanted the F2P model and LoTRO franchise.

Just gotta call WBgames.

EDIT: Oh, and my game access is not banned in any way.

Turbine's approach to fan service for the past 18-24 months:







Once I saw just how front-loaded the new expansion was with retarded little cosmetic distractions, I knew it was going to have some bitter-pills to follow. Not that I'd pay them a dime after MotU, no matter how many Owlbears they want to toss in.

MotU was a failure from a player's perspective. Oh sure, I'm sure it made Turbine a lot of money - but the players got a big ol' patented Turbine "Fuck You" after giving them our money. Looking at Turbine's past track record of finding new and more aggressive ways to fail their players, I knew the new expansion was going to be even worse. It is inevitable.

Note to any Turbine staffers reading this, and one I genuinely hope you share around the office: DDO has become a shit game because y'all have made it a shit game. Once it was great. Now, it's a festering puddle of monkey diarrhea. No matter how you try to justify it, or pat yourselves on the back for doing great jobs... it's a shit game now because of you. Y'all keep on giving the players the middle finger, and you keep expecting us to reward you for the abuse. I've had it with you narcissistic fuckwads and your myopic policies of ineptitude.

That comment is full of win, Mem.

It's like the Pink Elephant in front of mine.
( no it's NOT a pony, it's an Elephant, it gots two tails one in front and one in the back )

Seriously that's probably the main problem Turbine has at this time when it comes to DDO and the community.

Their track record at listening what the players want and do not want is so abysmal that we take anything they throw at us as something that will be implemented in the presented form whatever we try to do to make them change their mind.

Basically the community is not believing them anymore on that subject.
Add to that the fact that the community managers are community ghosts
The few that interact regularly with the community are a bunch of Kobolds from QA ( MajMal, Squeak, Kookie ) and they get almost all the flak because they are at the end of the food chain, just before the huge predator called the player.

But they have set their sights on Update 20.
If it is still in the formative stages... when are they planning to test it then? Oh yeah... right... Turbine. They are planning to test it when update 20 goes live.

I'm sure some were like "Boy this is going make them mad"

and others were like
