Saying Goodbye to POTCO? Read on Friends...

Well this thread took a left turn at Albuquerque. I like the discussion though. Back to my original point, I still think it couldn't hurt to send this info to Disney. Let them know why you're upset and saying bye.

What everyone here is failing to realize is that the REASON the linked accounts got removed WAS DUE TO ALL THE GRIEFERS WHO WERE GETTING OUT OF THEIR VACATIONS. If you guys want to be mad at some one, blame the girefers that ruined this for all of you with linked accounts. Stop blaming Disney for taking some what of a control over all the griefers. If a person made enough calls and sent in enough emails to Disney, they eventually get the point and do some thing about it.

As Bart said back on page 1 of this lovely thread, those that complained to Disney about all the girefing, Disney DID just that. They took away the griefers ablity to get on their main pirates that were on the vacationed account. Therefore, that pirate cannt log into that pirate to grief others.

Yes, it put alot of families in a tight spot with their pirates and their kids pirates all on the same account. But as Basil also stated, you can call Disney and have them moved to another account that was linked to that main account, THEREFORE families can still play together.

All this talk of wanting to protest and boycott the game will accomplish nothing. There are too many peeps who do enjoy the social aspect of the game. Many peeps come on to chat with friends and guildmates. Yes, new content would be extremely nice, but it will arrive in game when it gets here.

For those who have grown tired, then just go then. Stop crying about it and just do it. Leave the game to those who do enjoy it and have fun. Sry if this post offends any one, but that is how this pirate feels and just her meer opinion.

Look Li, no matter how optimistic you are, it all comes down to Disney. They already lost a few hundred members due to their greed. If this were a matter of security, like its been said a dozen times before they would have done something else like ban all the linked accounts, or have a limit on how many linked accounts there can be, etc. As I said before, I've been ignored a few times to many when I went to Disney telling them this. To be honest, you're right in a way. Both the "griefers" AND Disney are at fault. But because of them, and because of Disney's greed we are paying. It was not right to do what they did and they should fix it. But again as I said before, Disney is looking out for their pocket not what their players want.

Yes, it put alot of families in a tight spot with their pirates and their kids pirates all on the same account. But as Basil also stated, you can call Disney and have them moved to another account that was linked to that main account, THEREFORE families can still play together.

Yes I tried the transferring pirates thing before I quit...... it's one of those too good to be true deals. You need TWO Unlimited Access accounts in order to transfer pirate. Funny how Disney doesn't mention that they don't let you move pirates to a Basic Access account. I thought transferring pirates might have been a fix to it, ITS NOT. This goes back to the whole money-hungry thing. Disney isn't dumb, they are doing everything they can to get money from their players. I don't know about the rest of you but if ONE family was sharing ONE account that had FOUR pirate, and they wanted them transferred, I don't think anyone is willing to pay $40 for it to be fixed so everyone can play online again. All of it is a scam to get more money to Disney.

All this talk of wanting to protest and boycott the game will accomplish nothing. There are too many peeps who do enjoy the social aspect of the game. Many peeps come on to chat with friends and guildmates. Yes, new content would be extremely nice, but it will arrive in game when it gets here.

I guess you must have a lot of patience or started to get more involved in RL distractions. AGAIN, like I said in a previous post, unless you are in the same boat, you do not know what its like. There were 8 of us that sent e-mails to Disney when linked accounts were removed. We all got the same response, or we got ignored. If they cared about their players, they would take the time to go through the e-mails instead of replying with an automated response. As to the updates, yeah they will update when they are ready, but how long are you guys willing to wait? I waited a year and some months, and that was a year to long in my opinion. ALL the new updates are geared towards NEW players not EXISTING players. How can they ask for player's opinions if they don't even listen to them?

For those who have grown tired, then just go then. Stop crying about it and just do it. Leave the game to those who do enjoy it and have fun. Sry if this post offends any one, but that is how this pirate feels and just her meer opinion.

Good long time players have quit the game for a petty reason, and the majority of the fault lies with Disney. I'm glad I quit, I left this pitiful game behind along with the true trouble makers and instigators that it has. Sorry if my "crying" bothered you or anyone else but that's my view on it. If you can speak your mind so can I.

I guess this thread took a turn in the opposite direction but it didn't seem like players that were leaving or players that had left were posting on it. If the rest of you can post your opinions we certainly can too. I refuse to send my opinion to Disney. They only make decisions on whether or not they will make a profit, not if it really affects the "small number" of players. Guess I'll be "crying" a lot to get my point across.

YES, thank you, I wish I'd written that.

It IS all Disney - sure, maybe people complained about people avoiding bans by linked acounts, but DISNEY COULD HAVE HANDLED THE SITUATION MUCH BETTER. As has been brought up ten trillion times on here since the tabbed account updates, it would make loads more sense to release a SOLUTION, one that solved the problem WITHOUT screwing over hundreds of innocent people. There have been several logical, reasonable solutions proposed right here on POF.

Let's face it - there are VERY few people who are optimistic or satisfied with where this game is going. Even players who have decided to stay with the game are complaining left and right.

Has anyone else noticed how many Disney complaint threads there have been since the tabbed accounts were removed? Even threads that weren't intended to be (ie this one) have turned into bash Disney threads. Why? Because there's so dang much to complain about! No one in the Pirates Online community feels like Disney cares about their wants and needs. Reporting "feedback" to Disney is commonly thought to be a joke. Nobody knows what is on the horizon for the game - Disney has called island makeovers "new content" and has lied outright about content releases and game updates - Disney said the tabbed accounts would remain on open, which they obviously haven't. We can't trust a company that has so clearly lied to loyal paying customers and apparently has little or no respect for the playing community. Why should we, the customer, support and respect a company that has so little respect for us?!
