I appreciate the feedback and responses so far. It's very comforting to see that people care, no matter how the fashion. I do want to also, reiterate some of the points being made in the thread - this is not a place to exude complaints about the game's level of difficulty, but rather to provide perspective on the different type of players that exist and how to better cater to a potential larger majority, while retaining the "things that we have going for us".
I also notice that my post's been modified for clarity and formatting purposes, so I appreciate the kind gesture. Again, shows that you care and that's enough proof that the game will continue to improve. Not all my suggestions may be "best for business", but I believe that I come from a logical standpoint for most of them - though I clearly don't represent the entire spectrum of the player base, I believe I have worked with enough people in the gaming industry to at least formulate educated opinions.
Anyways, as my season concludes today, I wish everyone further happy gaming and achievements of whatever goals they had set for the remainder of the season. As far as the thread goes, it has pretty much ran its' course, and I believe by now that the powers-that-be have at least pondered on some of the ideas listed. Will definitely return for future seasons regardless of what changes are to be expected, and whatever other feedback or suggestions I have, I will return to the suggestions thread for. Do not hesitate to reach out to me for any thoughts or ideas also.
I appreciate everyone who has read, commented, or directly reached out to me regarding the listed subjects. I sincerely, especially appreciate the moderator/development team, though our communication may not have always been optimal or on a level field, I have nothing but respect for the people who continue to devote their time and passion to ensure the best gaming experience for newcomers to this project known as Median XL. I wish everyone here the best - it's a game, so enjoy and have fun. And if you like, $upport the project.
