I'm also disappointed. I don't see how making money harder to get is supposed to improve the fun. Let's recap this:
1) Money was easy to get
2) Everyone got reset
3) Money is now hard to get
Now imagine this being put into a real world interpretation. You're working at Burger King. The manager decides to take away all your paychecks. Then the manager cuts your salary.
YAY!
If you're going to lessen the money earned from jobs, then MAKE THEM FUNNER. I don't think people would care at all about how much they make, if the job was fun to do. You changed NOTHING with the jobs. They are all still the same, and people can still cheat with macros, and it's still nothing but tapping one button.
Nothing else was added. I am also wondering what was done while it was in development. All I keep hearing is that bugs were fixed. Big deal. People play regardless of some bugs. What good is a server with less bugs, when it's not fun anymore in the first place?
I don't mean to slam the development team, but I mean come on. The server practically makes new content on it's own. You could add little things here and there every other day, and everyone would be happy. You don't need to be making super mondo quests, or putting up kingdoms. You need to be adding content that can be used NOW.
I'm sure you guys were very confident and full of yourselves when you had nearly 300 players on at the opening. But you sure aren't getting those numbers now.
