*Update 22/4/2016 : Ironically, due to the increasing number of Indonesian hypocrites who doesn’t really understand stuffs, i had to change the title from “…Indonesian players” to “…Indonesian Steam players”.
Did my best to explain the situation but more of them are just keep coming, so i had no choice but to do this. Hope there is no more off-topic comments.
Before i go further, i just want to note that i dont have any intention of badmouthing or something similar to that. This is just a quick-exposure on what actually happens on the field which is 100% based on fact.
Despite on being one of the biggest gaming publisher in Indonesia, Gescol at the same time is also one of the most P2W and probably the worst in term of community management.
Here is some of the big points :
1) RMT
Real money transaction is just UNAVOIDABLE on every single game they published. They do prohibit RMT and warn players about it, but after like 8 years the RMT is still happening! Yeah, the huge RMT market it is still going smooth even today! Can u imagine? It is like they re kinda stuck on how to resolve this issue. If you have a chance to visit Indonesia and ask some of the players here, i wouldnt be surprised if they can clarify my point here.
2) Scam
If youre playing one of their game called Drgn N*st, the amount of scammers there is just ridiculously unimaginable. The ironic part is, most of the scams also involve RMT around it. And like i said, its been going like this for years and still zero solution.
3) Game-exploit, hacks, script and other illegal program activities
I have no words for this. Like…literally…not…a…single…word.
One of their FPS game called Pint Blnk is well-known as the title with the highest cheater population in our country. Almost every single of their game is playable with hacks.
There is even a group page called Pekalongan Community https://www.facebook.com/pekalongankommunitycom/?fref=ts
They are basically the one who provides the illegal software and stuffs…they sell those things in public, everyone can see, and everyone can use (even most of them are free). I dont know exactly how this is happened, but their security aspect is just below standards. I couldn’t imagine how the “BOT things” will do later on their server.
TLDR, for any IMC staff who read this please consider my point:
Some of us Indonesian players REFUSE to play on our local server for A REASON! The moment we know you guys are about to open a SEA server was more than just a “fresh-wind” to us. We’ve been anticipating this game since years ago and its not about we’re hating our own publisher, they are professional and they did all they can for the best, but they just DONT suit us, thats all! With all their current system, considering from what already happened to most of their games, we just CAN’T stand with that. Tree of Savior is just too awesome to be ruined!
Me on behalf of Indonesian players really have a big hope and trust in you.
We do believe that any further decision that you made is for the best of ToS
You are our ONLY “savior” that could make us enjoy the game the way it should be.
