I have yet to see a single staff member post anywhere, once, in this forum. It seems they have yet to hire a community manager or intend in never doing so.
What I don’t understand is… that the people at kToS CREATED this freaking game. They probably have a much bigger staff that knows a lot more about the game than iToS… then why will iToS not follow their balance patches? Seems like plain arrogance.
“oh no, WE know what’s balanced! not the players, not the beta testers, not the creators of the game! hue hue!”
Honestly I don’t think anyone on the iToS team plays swordsman without peltasta on high level. They don’t understand the pain. Well, tbh, I’m not sure anyone in the team even play the game or browses the forum at all. I think all they do is fix bugs. If they played the game they could have 1 guy at klaipedia 1 at orsha banning gold sellers 8-10 hours a day. That could not possibly be easier, and yet it’s not done.
Maybe after they start selling TP they make some money and they can afford to hire a community manager, a team to deal with balances and some ban-hammer GMs.
Right now the community is about 100% ignored. I’ve personally sent private messages to the Staff asking why they don’t participate in the forums, and of course, I didn’t get a reply. It’s pretty damn ridiculous. They are not in the game, they are not in the forums. Where are these people? Is the entire iToS team programmers that only fix code and hate the game?
