	Lelouch wrote on Jun 21^st, 2015 at 8:16pm: I dont really know where it all started to go down. For me the "Jump the Shark" point was when they started to sell chunks of XP. I know that before that XP pots were essentially 'selling XP' as well, but to me there is a huge difference between selling a bonus to what your earn, vs flat-out selling levels. I mean, how much trouble are you in when folks are paying to bypass huge chunks of your game? Also, we used to have a phrase for certain campaigns bay in my P&P days: Monty Haul. DDO has definitely gone Monty Haul. +6 Tomes FFS - just retarded. Or are they up to +7 now, I've lost track...

	archon wrote on Jun 22^nd, 2015 at 12:45pm: I'd rather be able to equip and see all gear, rather than just limited to helmet/armor/weapon/goggles. Yes... be nice to put on a cloak and actually see it. Have the option to turn in on off like the glass's etc. There was a thing about the cloaks a few years back but cant remember what exactly it was all about. I do like the graphics that tend to realism rather then cartoony but even with that said they are horrible.. It would also be nice if they didn't spoon feed the quests. I find most are to linear. I think one of the best packages they came out with was HH just because there was so much to do in it that didn't relate really to the primary quest. I think that is what they were trying to do with TOEE but ran out of time on the side quest part of things. Hell just think how good HH would have been if they treated it like a wilderness and added in a few more actual quests into it. I do agree that raid timers have ruined part of the excitement of loot. And that is from my perspective considering I haven't duped any. Was on a break from the game when all that fun happened and never got in on it other then some folks passing the occasional timer to me. So essentially my toons are uncorrupted. I don't have 4000 stacks of every mat in existence so I can automatically create whatever TF or whatever weapon/armor I want. The items I get I have to grind for so take more satisfaction in them then someone who just pops down to the forge. Don't get me wrong I don't begrudge those who did dupe and chances are if I was around during that time I would have probably done my fair share of it too lol. I will say that it would have made the game less satisfying if I did dupe however as the "loot" aspect goes out the window when you do.

Sadly, your whole point is invalidated due to turbine making years and years of loot invalid in motu, then they proceeded to make that a pattern. Then feather started a loot revamp and was laid off during the revamp. Many many items I have had for years was nullified, icy game recipes applied years prior suddenly were no good. The only thing left to do in ddo is to dupe and exploit. Turbine even shifted their sales marketing target towards those using bugs and exploits.

	Dupping saved the game. During the height of dupping, we were also dealing with Single Window Fighting, and several other "Fuck You For Playing" strategies, including a launcher that caused game-freezes. Those were the shit frosting Turbine layered on top of Feather's arbitrary BTCing of loot, arbitrary ML changes to gear you had for years, and then being thrown "burden of sin" upon log-in, for having the temerity to use said hard-won gear. Saying "Feather'd" is a deeper, hate-filled invective than maybe you actually remember.

Saying "Feather'd" is a deeper, hate-filled invective than maybe you actually remember. Ah, Burden of Guilt. What a genius idea that was. I remember those times. I reckon the dev(s) responsible were laughing themselves silly at sticking it to the players (this was around the same time as Tolero's "Extreme Prejudice!"). And it was an amusing way to punish "cheaters", but the culture of hatred/distaste toward your customers/players is truly shocking. However, it was implemented in typical Turdbine fashion - flawed and error ridden. It affected innocent players too - thanks to FoS's revamp of existing ML's. And after a few hotfixes, the Guilt stuck permanently -even when you removed the items, relogged etc - it stayed. You could get around it by tumbling, but that became tedious and pretty obvious. I found this out the hard way on some bank mules who had low ML gear equipped for storing. You had to get a GM to remove it, which they could do easily enough.

I put a lot of my low ML gear, farmed from the madness chain, onto a mule and haven't logged in to it since. Thinking at the time maybe it was an active change rather than automatic, and it might be possible to wait it out. Now I just don't log in to it from habit.

Because 4 Years of Codemasters.... from 2006 to 2010 European players were not directly in contact with Turbine. The important things that changed when CM sent us to Turbine : - loss of an almost crashless game. - loss of the Kraut and the Frog client ( Think of it : Turbine had to restart from scratch on that.... when CM had the fucking clients all along ) - loss of a lagless game. ( yes even during winter games, and stuff ) - loss of a Pack of GM that actually helped players by fixing problems. Now as a good portion of the Europeans jumped ship when F2P appeared, that makes it 6 years... ( compared to the 5 of those that stayed until the end )

There were a lot of us who weren't very happy in 2008 and 2009 (before september). We went a long time with no new content and just a lot of empty promises. 2009-2011 was actually a high tide time for Turbine and DDO as far as I am concerned.

Too bad I was at work when they shutdown the servers, or I would have been there standing in the Harbor ( or in the Vale Viewpoint... well anywhere with a nice view ) waiting for the shutdown to take one last screenshot of the European server.
