Re: New devblog: September status report
I guess you haven't be here long enough, when a surge of new players show up, vets show up, when POE feels threatened they show up in numbers (when needed) to say who's boss and spoil it for the new players. I have seen it all happening time and time again.
Those who last 6 hours not sure how many those are not seen any, from my experience they last a few weeks, then there are countless more who have left after 6 months to a year playing, which you are right probably tired of the devs doing too much absurd tweaks for far too long.
POE, being evidently the largest and most powerful alliance in the game, has never had problems with new players.
Our members have started many initiatives on Norhoop, Kentagura, and Alsbale to incubate newbie corporations and help them grow and enjoy the game. Cons, who are now a part of the Partnership of Equals, is a product of our incubation programs on Kentagura and later Domhalarn. NSE is also a product of our incubation programs on Alsbale.
As part of our community outreach, we take great pains to contact and assist new corporations that come into the game. Our knowledge is shared freely with newbies, and every newbie corporation is warned against allying up to our enemies or to us, as no newbie corporation (or indeed, any other vet corporation) can dream of sustaining a conflict against us.
Some newbies listen and prosper, some newbies don't listen and die. At the end of the day, your vet corps will never have room to play and re-establish yourselves in the game because we will make it so. For reasons X, Y, Z. Accept it and come to terms with it.
