Did trion pull the rug over ALL founders just now?

[Zeronium]

Rug from under us gheez these english sayings GOD this day is not getting any better is it?
Well I feel like I paid for nothing. As a loyal customer I got the shortest end of the stick there was and I think the stick is burnt too. This is a real kick in the teeth for someone who didn't get land as I sat in queue for hours and hours and hours just to find a bugged quest (floran) and not get my gilda stars in time until all land was lost.

Now Trion releases packs which have superb value compared to the founder packs (I'd take the silver pack any day rather than headstart silver pack...)

I demand retribution!

I run a guild, I brought 100 people to this game. I feel responsible for cheating people by trusting Trion myself from past experiences... Out of 100 people I can't say any of them are happy here. Trion you better do something before you're worse than EA.

"Brilliant" Response from Scapes on the subject:

A more accurate title is that they're different than Founder's Packs in a number of ways. Let's look at the contents of both.

Founder's Packs contained intangibles including Alpha and Beta access, Head Start, titles, unique gliders, and capes. Comparatively, Starter Packs are collections of existing and future Marketplace items. Both Packs contain Credits and items but Founder's Packs contained a lot more Credits and some of its items were exclusive. For instance, the mount in the Archeum Starter Pack will eventually be available on the Marketplace. It's literally a collection of items useful to new players.

Yep, definitely. First the headstart was a disaster, then on launch day they add starter packs which are better than founder packs of the same cost. On top of that we still can't play.

If they cared about their founders at all they'd at least make a 3rd queue type "founder" and give these people a priority queue over patrons for the first week or two.

[Duane]

I think charge backs are in order. Unacceptable all the way around and the only way companies learn is when it hits the pocket book.

[heroicfish]

Duh, people should have been getting refunds weeks ago.

[Veldan]

I think charge backs are in order. Unacceptable all the way around and the only way companies learn is when it hits the pocket book.

Though very true, you can only do this if you intend to quit the game, because charge back = deleted or banned account.

[Vivaxo]

If this is not sorted by the end of the week, I will be pulling back my payment without delay.

I feel absolutely disgusted by them doing this. They know the servers are ♥♥♥♥ed, the queues are long, the problems people are having. And they do this to the very people who supported them from the start?!

[heroicfish]

Or just do it now

[RP4Lyfe]

Kind of a slap in the face that they get double the value in those packs than what we got as founders and for the most part it is all the ♥♥♥♥ you spent credits on anyways.

[Lingwon]

I feel for the people who bought founders and legitimately recieving patrons. You guys got boned.

[Zeronium]

I really do hope they come into their senses and do something about this mess they've caused...
