Progressively worse every year since the inception of Epic Ottoboxes. It's like a game of inflation, but the inflation is how little can we get away with giving them before a riot breaks out. 

I'm pretty sure SSG just hates money.



Srsly, there have been MULTIPLE threads of people just suggesting things they'd pay for. Not on sale, not on special, just "make this and we will give you all the dollars".

And they get completely ignored.

I went back and looked a while ago.. And if i remember correctly i think i bought a bunch of fate tomes last year.. and some learning tomes..

Accumulated quite a bit of TP from TR's. It get's difficult to spend them. I never thought I would say that.
To be fair I was saving for Ravenloft but the Dark Side was more powerful.

Close. I'd say 2010 was the last year with decent deals.

The marketing department is probably Cordovan and he's too busy figuring out the exchange rate of how many blowjobs equals a dozen donuts.

Pretty much this.  Other then putting in shit to try to get us to buy Otto's boxes they have no idea how to market their own game.

Any time you suggest otherwise you get the white knights going, "they haz all the data I'm sure they know how to market themselves and what generates the most revenue."

They assume everyone else that plays DDO works at Burger King like they do and couldn't -possibly- have ever worked in technical marketing and know what the fuck they're talking about.  They think that someone gets a job at a game dev company they're no longer capable of fucking up.

Anyways...

I've made several posts on the motherboards about the things I would gladly spend gobs of money on and usually get a pretty good reaction from the community.

But instead of selling me new skins for my dimension door spell or an eternal 20/rest heal scroll or a feat that grants me perma-airship portal or a perma guild banner people can click on to get airship buffs when they join my group etc...etc...

We get uh...bigby's hand.  Which sounded neat but in typical Turbine fashion instead of doing the smart thing and making it a perma ability unlock for like 1500 tp and thus -everybody- eventually getting it, they make it stacks of 50 or whatever such that nobody ever buys it under any circumstance ever.

They bring this shit on themselves man.  It's so depressing to see.

You're welcome  but I'm not really saying anything about whether Obama was a good president. Just using it as a barometer for how long it feels since we've had a good sale. Maybe I should've said "no good sales since Obama's 1st term."

And they still managed to somewhat shoot themselves in both feet.

Guildie was complaining earlier that they finally put the adventure pack people are least likely to own and most likely to want to buy on sale (aside from Ravenloft) less than a month after theysell the Ravenloft packs bundled with the VIP codes.  Now a bunch of people are on VIP and can't buy the pack in the store.

LOL, that's some pro level trolling right there and some epic fail level marketing.
