I love this game, the PVP is fun when facing similarly geared opponents, competing on the brackets makes for some fun frantic times trying to grind as many points as possible while still not losing 3 times. There’s a certain bit of management that I enjoy.

The PVE is lacking in that there hasn’t been any true new content for a long time. The small events give some mastery (yay), but we fight the same enemies we’ve fought for well over a year (boo). The big events have a nice little map and a new class and stuff (yay), but it’s again the same enemies and the map only sticks around for awhile and then it goes away… oh yeah and it’s a timed gated event (boo)

I understand that Rovio wants to make money, that’s the nature of a free to play game and really business in general. However, when I pay money into a game like this, I want the stuff I pay for to be 1: fun and 2: doesn’t go obsolete in a couple months. Paying money for the GPM always felt so silly because in a few months the level cap would go up and the gear wouldn’t compete with the high end anymore.

So here’s the crux of the situation. Rovio needs to release stuff that we can pay money for, and that stuff needs to be semi-permanent (in relative terms to the game). Alternatively, we can grind ourselves stupid to get the gear, but even with grinding it’ll still take awhile. So if this new enchanting thing comes in and people spend money to enchant their gear and then whoops 3 months down the line the gear is useless because there’s a new level cap and stuff like that? This game will have a lot of angry (no pun intended) customers and will lose a lot of business.

If a level cap is coming, players need to be made aware so they know that if they spend money on gear that will go obsolete, it’s at their own discretion/risk. Also some way to “upgrade” equipment to the max level through LCs in some form would also be appreciated.

Sorry for the rant, it’s still tied to Season 4 so it’s not completely off topic.
