I confess that I hate what SOE did with the Planetside franchise. I've been playing PS2 since beta, and while the game itself is well made, I finally have to come out and say, I think Higby's vision for the game is shit. There, I said it. We have Freemium store style customization, yet it took 2 years for knives to mimic the PS1 stock equipment. We finally have Spitfire turrets (requested by nobody, ever,) yet we still have no continental lattice, no battle islands, no drawing on maps, no logistics, no command structure, no [name your pet ps1 reminiscence here.]
Look, I know a lot of you never played PS1, and that's totally cool. Hell, it's not like PS1 was some magical world with no problems. But PS2 was supposed to be the successor of it, and instead we get MLG BITCHEZZZ!!! People I used to play with who used to care about taking bases and winning for the TR, now only care about Auraxiums and Directives.
Don't even get me started on the shitty, greedy way they made you jump through hoops to get the station cash you already payed for with your subscription. I opened a ticket for that (having been in a motorcycle accident and in rehabilitation,) and they sent me a stock "how to reclaim this month's station cash" form letter and closing the ticket. I assume I lost about 5 months' station cash, but in the bigger picture, do any of us really feel any surprise from that?
OK I guess I'm ranting now, but seriously, fuck you SOE. You turned something good into a glorified Combat Arms, and somehow tricked your player base into paying you to do it.
