    OP , you assume zen gives a damm.

    If there is one thing the thread about the dog proved , is that they dont.

    Only small thing i get from all this , is that now it takes me less than 5 minutes to convice someone im talking about the game to give up buying.

    Yes, we had that discussion on the other thread and am wondering if you will be canceling your sub since you aren't interested in getting your friends to join.

    Pfff , if i would cancel my sub because i made my friends avoid the game , i would have to go back in time to the first month. 4 friends of mine wondered about this , all 4 i made give up and to this day if they ask , the answer remains the same , those 4 i trust wont be joining heh.

    The people i refer to today i would not call friends , more like people i know and that i talk with.

    The reason i keep my sub , is because i very rarely return to MMO once i leave it , hell i think only once i did this of all the MMOs i played (which is a big list) , so before i quit ESO , im making sure i gave it the chances.

    ..its real simple. Just ignore the whining and it will go away. So you have a crab instead of a dog. Eventually 95% of customers will have real life trump the need to cry about a vanity item and all this will go away. ...I'll give it one month.

    The Secret World rewards an item of the month, every month! They also reward Veteran Points monthly (to use in their cash shop), and some items are only obtainable via Veteran Points. Also, they retroactively gave Veteran Points to players who had been subscribers for all of that time before it was implemented.

    Honestly, they may be a smaller MMO, but they have one heck of a rapport with the community... more so than I've ever seen for any online game whatsoever.

    I think it's more that you enjoy being unhappy and and making others unhappy. If you don't like a game to the point where you trash it to others, you aren't going to be of a mind that will have a positive effect on the community and really shouldn't play.

    Loyalty rewards are a good idea. Rewards for being subbed on a particular date are nice. Rewards for being subbed a certain amount of days are nice, too, as long as the offer stays open perpetually so everyone can get them as long as they stay subbed for long enough.

    As to "puppy-gate," I've said in another thread that ZOS could have avoided a lot of brouhaha by making the Steam pet a Kwama Scrib or something else that would be as unwanted as a mudcrab. (Not all brouhaha, mind you. Somewhere out there. somebody is pining for a Kwama Scrib pet.)

    I would love a Kwama Scrib. In all seriousness, I love things that make me nostalgic for my days of exploring Morrowind. But, you know, whatevs.

    Unfortunately , playing only if i have a positive effect on the community is not one of my concerns.

    Heh , if i could not see anything positive about this game mate , then i would not be playing it. Despite what some may think , i do have better things to do than spend time on a game i hold no interest in.

    If anything , it is because i see what it could be if they had a little more touch , that pisses me the most.

    The dog issue could have been avoided , they could take more time when testing the patches to avoid adding more bugs than fixes , which makes their test appear irrelevant , they could spend more time making sure the patch notes actually tell each change and do not make appear like they lack internal communication...

    So many details they fail at , one after another.

    There are ofc bigger issues , but if they did not disappoint so much in the details , perhaps their players would be more forgiving.

    How did they cave and what problem did it cause?
    Firstly we dont actually know if they intended to elease the Riften hound anyway despite the complaints
    If the Riften hound was just a reaction then so what, it simply shows that Zenimax made an error in judgement which they imediately fixed by showing they do appreciate their players.
    I just wish other companies would consider their players that much and react that quickly ! (Companies like EA could learn a lot from what Zenimax just did)

    I don't even care that they offer something as a free extra for a new sub, it's the fact that it is exclusive and not made available for existing customers to at least buy in the cash shop. If it's vanity stuff like that, that is what a cash shop in a game like ESO should be for and if used that way, it still gives a bonus to a new customer (being free) that others are paying for.

    Solution: (and I am sure this will only appeal to the more sensible of the rabid fan-base) would be a loyalty program. A lot of MMOs have it i.e. once you have subscribed for X amount of time you get a free pet, mount, trinket, dye etc. FFXIV was actually very generous with theirs, giving stuff once a month. I would rather have something a little less regular, perhaps once every 3 months - but have the gift be more meaningful (pets and mounts for example).

    Discuss!
    No.

    And enough with the puerile 'puppy-gate' crap.

    IF ( that's a big 'if' )... IF they do a loyalty program it should be something useful. Like an extra 5 bank slots or bag slots per character. Something of (virtual) value. Maybe be a 3, 6, 9 months and a year, and every 6 months thereafter, for everyone who stays subbed that long. Under this proposal, if you stay subbed for a year straight you'll have an extra 20 bank slots, that's a pretty heft sum of gold coins saved right there. On the 1 year, a vanity pet or something to show everyone else your loyalty to ESO.

    Honestly, I'd like them to have a pet / trinket / trophy bag that doesn't count against bank or bag slot count first, more pets second.

    You give loyalty for loyalties sake, not because you act like some cheap person that needs to have some give you something to keep you loyal. again grow up

    Loyalty should be earned, especially when a company is operating a subscription model in an environment that has become quite hostile to that model.

    Do I still believe in the subscription model? Yes I do. But companies cannot take subscribers for granted anymore, they just don't get that option in 2014. Whether you like or not, whether I like it or not, it doesn't matter because B2P, F2P and Freemium has changed the way subscriptions are perceived.

    Companies doing things to let their players know they value them for continuing a subscription at a time that that payment model has lost the popularity it once had makes sense, it says "Hey, this is why we're better than B2P/F2P/Freemium."

    A lot of people did not believe that ESO would release with this payment model and a great many still believe that, within the next few months, it will go F2P.

    ZOS has a great IP here, a fairly solid game and devs with a lot of experience but it cannot just rely on those things because there are other games that had all those things and still had start offering alternative payment models.

    If you need a "loyalty program" for a game you were never loyal to start with. Giving little perks and all is nice, but it doesn't really buy loyalty. Unfortunately, we are in an era where people have gotten the idea that loyalty is something that should be sold to the highest bidder with the flashiest gifts. If your loyalty can be bought it is worth nothing.

    Loyalty programs are more a f2p thing, like a monthly stipend if you stay subbed. Subscription games generally don't need them.

    This game does need a better way to store pets though.

    Indeed. To troll the cool dog past all the poor original group stuck with stupid crabs, scuttlers and monkeys was a bit stupid. Because we get a brown dog I have refrained from griefing those with the dog. I actually made sure one guy with the dog made it out of a dungeon alive the other day. If they had not coughed up the brown dog he would have died many times. My crafters inhabit the lower levels. I see this stuff. None in Rawl'kha so far.

    If it really was a bigger issue you would not also be expressing the selfish sentiments that come along with it.

    Selfishness is a terrible trait, and very problematic in society. Not being taught to share as a child can ultimately lead to some very bad and criminal behavior.

    TBH, that fact that you are completely unashamed of it says volumes about your upbringing.

    Pfff , if i would cancel my sub because i made my friends avoid the game , i would have to go back in time to the first month. 4 friends of mine wondered about this , all 4 i made give up and to this day if they ask , the answer remains the same , those 4 i trust wont be joining heh.

    The people i refer to today i would not call friends , more like people i know and that i talk with.

    The reason i keep my sub , is because i very rarely return to MMO once i leave it , hell i think only once i did this of all the MMOs i played (which is a big list) , so before i quit ESO , im making sure i gave it the chances.

    I think it's more that you enjoy being unhappy and and making others unhappy. If you don't like a game to the point where you trash it to others, you aren't going to be of a mind that will have a positive effect on the community and really shouldn't play.

    That maybe so, still , that is a call for me to make and i dont want to quit yet.

    Unfortunately , playing only if i have a positive effect on the community is not one of my concerns.

    If i dont like the direction zen takes things , i will voice it , if it has a negative effect , so be it.

    you really would be better off playing a single player game if you intend to only detract from other peoples' happiness and not try to improve the game for everyone.

    It's just selfishness and it drags down the community with you.

    Again , my call , but i will take your advise into consideration thank you.

    What i intend to do , is speak my mind about the game , that is all.

    If it is positive or negative , so be it , if it adds or takes from the overall happiness of the other players , so be it.

    My general concept is selfish indeed , i have no intention of changing it either , still ,i do support some ideas that add to the whole concept of the community.

    When i complain about the dog for example , you may see being something selfish , it is not , i see it like a big issue for all the players like who keep paying month after month that zen seems to have decided to make content for only new players.

    Personally , like i said in another thread , i would probably never even use the dog myself even.

    If it really was a bigger issue you would not also be expressing the selfish sentiments that come along with it.

    Selfishness is a terrible trait, and very problematic in society. Not being taught to share as a child can ultimately lead to some very bad and criminal behavior.

    TBH, that fact that you are completely unashamed of it says volumes about your upbringing.

    Mate , like it or not , here im and here i will stay until the time comes when i dont feel like it , that simple.

    And i will remain on the negative side of things, i do believe the best way to make a company understand is costing them money and creating bad PR , reason i do what i do.

    Who knows , maybe if this story actually gets back to the devs a few times in the future by luck , they will even think twice before doing this crap a second time heh.

    OP , you assume zen gives a damm.

    If there is one thing the thread about the dog proved , is that they dont.

    Right and I don't intend to move you. I really can't. I'm just commenting on the unfortunate circumstances that led you to this line of thinking.

    My suspicion is you tend to hang around where not wanted out of sheer spite. I doubt you would be positive about any game you play.
