Having read all the posts in this thread I can see the many good points that have been made by those on both sides of the issue. The OP was not a rant IMHO, but rather a statement of concern for the game's ability to retain players that have been in this game for some time.
I've been in this game since the first Beta test and I, as well as anyone who is still in this game from that period, can attest to how far this game has advanced. Anyone who has been in this game from the date of the open release can tell you how much the game has improved. As I stated in a previous post in this thread, for someone new coming into this game now, there is plenty of content to keep them busy for some time.
All of the things that have been added are great improvements, no one is denying that, but they provide little reward for those of us with maxed out pirates. And that is the point I believe the OP was trying to convey. The game is losing people, that's a proven fact. For all the improvements that have been made, little has been done to provide content that will retain players who have reached the games current limits.
And it makes little difference how long it took to reach the limits. I know people who do play 24/7 and have many mastered pirates and I know people who have played from the start who have only just mastered their first. Once the limit has been reached, it's been reached. I know full well it takes time to write the code needed to implement new content and then more time to test it to make sure it's stable enough to run in game and I have no doubt that things are in the works to improve the content for those who have reach the limits. The questions is, will they make it into the game in time enough to keep the games oldest members?
