The sensible fix IMO would be to make decos non-aidable. They did it for the rank reward decos, they could do it for all of them.
Jaelis,
Honestly, there is just ONE SIMPLE FIX, FIRE THESE INEPT DEVELOPERS or those that claim to be developers. What you fail to understand is one simple thing, TRUST. TRUST once broken is gone and to re-establish it is a very hard thing to do. Now you ask, what does TRUST have to do with any of this, well simple. WE players, TRUST, that the Developers come up with an idea and then test it on their own. Then it gets to enter the game on the Beta Server. It then gets implemented onto the LIVE servers. You see there is a chain of events that any one item must go thru to enter the game. NOW, said item, goes live and we all can either use said item or not. You see, us players who use this item "TRUST" this item will stay as it is, instead of being changed after we make it or build it. This is TRUST. WE TRUST.
The worst part is this, once we build something and these inept "developers" decide OPPS we made a mistake, we have to change it around, we lose that TRUST. Then WHY WOULD WE WANT TO PUT OUT ANYTHING NEW.? We, us players, would then say why would we want to replace items we know are providing us X, only to add something "the game" deems NEW and better for us. Only, we would then question WAIT, why might we change things around, when they decide to change it again. You see, this has a major snowball effect, whereby, us players would be afraid to try new things JUST IN CASE, these inept "developers" decide later we have to change things yet again. This is also called the Integrity of the game and these inept "developers" are NOT only hurting the integrity of the game, they are destroying our trust in the game with new items that they claim benefit us. Maybe the real question should be, for how long can we really benefit off of these new items, UNTIL these inept "developers" decide to change then and NERF them, Nuke them and/or destroy the value of these items to us, the players of the game.
I know you are a player too, here on the game and I know it must be hard for you to keep on defending such incompetence. I know you and I are players and there are many things we see eye to eye on and that you are still stuck defending these inept "developers", where I can openly say how much of a horrible job they are doing. If I was management, I would demand re-payment of the wages I have paid them as they clearly not only have their heads up their "****" (you know what I was saying there, without actually saying it, hehe). It is sad that these changes are the real priority for them and NOT what US PLAYERS Priority is.
I believe we can all agree, our Priority is a nearly FLAW FREE, ERROR FREE and NOT BROKEN Game for by which we can all have fun and enjoy the game we like. Rest assured, you keep on pissing us all and you will see what happens. Right now, you have a lot or people screaming out, because of frustration and being upset (I am one of them), BUT you need this and want this. This means we speak up, as we want the REAL ISSUES ADDRESSED. What you do not want is people to shut up, for once they do, they leave and they NEVER COME BACK. Therefore, you want a dialogue and you want us to tell you how badly you are screwing up and believe me, these inept "developers" are screwing up over and over. One time is an accident, the second time could be a slip up, the third time is a pattern of how unqualified someone is at a position. You know where I stand on that and in my humble opinion, they have screwed up over 10x's that I have personally seen. FIRE THEM ALL and HIRE the right talent, you cheap ass's over there at HQ. Leave these DECO's alone and FIX what is REALLY BROKEN and what we want FIXED, the GAME. PERIOD.
