What kind of nonsense is this?

You should reward everyone that votes!

Also, to further my earlier point made back on page 11, horrendous customer service. Nowhere on page 1's original post was it mentioned anywhere of "limited quantities" of prizes, now R2 has dug itself deeper into the hole with its player-base by doing what they do best and "phantoming" an important event. Getting everyone worked up and hyped to vote expecting a prize, but what's this? Only the first thousand benefit? And there was no mention of this prior? Tsk tsk.

R2 should gracefully bow Crystal Saga out of the competition and go take a serious monkey wrench to a lot of things. Their player/customer support being among the highest priority, if I could count all the complaints, ideas, suggested fixes, and more that have been listed by players of this game for months on end that went completely ignored by R2 Staff in favor of events and fixes, etc., that served no purpose except to further break what problems were already pre-existing, on one finger per, I'd be Shiva.

You guys at R2 need to seriously re-think everything before you think about accepting rewards for being "Best" anything. Like I mentioned previously, I worked on Final Fantasy XI, and I saw what happened to it as well as XIV. As negative a press as both games have gotten, I'm sorry to say, Crystal Saga has been wholly worse. Favoring commercialism over balance and regulation, breaking everything in favor of fixing a few typos which are not a legitimate fix that should be bragged about in Patch Notes as they do nothing to affect overall gameplay and should be ignored until real problems have been fixed, there is an entire list of things R2 needs to do before it can request of its player-base a vote for any award, and that list is the typical comical type of extended-length unfurling scroll. If you want to win the award, or keep a competitive edge toward winning it, here are a few fixes you can make to show players you're worthy of our vote:

1. End spawn camping. It has even become a problem in Wartune's Guild Battle arena, before that of course it spent months as a huge problem prevalent in Crystal Saga, in both Sengolia and Land Grab. Yet, for whatever reason, Wartune's Battleground has a protective barrier preventing opposing teams from encroaching on the other side's spawns, even with all NPC Guardians defeated. I dare and defy anyone from R2 to explain to me how/why it would be considered even remotely "difficult" to implement the same type of barrier in Guild Battle for Wartune to do much the same as it does in the Battleground, and in Crystal Saga's Sengolia and Land Grab where anyone who attacks over the line misses every time, and anyone who encroaches beyond the line is subject to Silence and thus becomes fodder for the opposing team to murder. I'll say now, any counter-argument is, as I've said many times before, moot laziness, as it's the simplest piece of coding to implement.

2. Punish problem players. I'd sent in several Tickets about players who entered Dragonspine Battlegrounds while equipped with the event Dragon Swords from the St. Patrick's Day Beer Tables, those players aided their Guildmates in repeatedly claiming the Dragon Sword from the Battlegrounds in spite of rule 4, which states clearly "Players already holding a Dragon Weapon may not enter the Battleground.". Yet they were clearly able to from the screencaps galore I and others captured of these acts, reported to R2, and were effectively ignored and brushed off and nothing was done to fix the issue until after the St. Patrick's Day event ended. As well, one of the same players responsible for violating that rule also openly accused me in-game and in Forums of having been responsible for an alleged hacking which all evidence states clearly I was not responsible for. When I sent a Ticket about that as accusations of that manner are a serious offense in themselves if stated falsely, what happened? Nothing. Not. One. Thing. I was all but told by the reply to my Report that nothing would be done and I should simply grin and bear it. I got slandered, the accuser didn't even receive a slap on the wrist. It comes as no surprise though, as one rumor I had heard is that any player who heavily donates to R2 as a cash player can essentially do as they please and R2 will look the other way because they want more of that cash players' money. Another I've heard is that the merges between S25/28/30/31 (Falling Stars Bluff, Bloodfang Village, Altar of Sacrifice, and Tree of Life respectively) occured, within only a month and a half of prior merging between 25/28 and 30/31, because they were the four "most notorious" servers by sheer volume of Report Tickets filed against illicit player behaviors of one sort or another. I cannot say for certain that these rumors are fact, however from what I have seen and ascertained, it is almost completely immutably probable.

3. Speaking of server merges, lag is a large issue. Some time ago, R2 Staff stated they would take measures to greatly reduce lag for players. This was back in July/August, as I recall, and now here it is December and there has been almost no change. The reason? Servers are not only merged together, lumping droves of players into one map area, but those merged servers are placed upon the same Towers as innumerous other servers that have mass-merged as well, and additionally several Wartune servers share those same Towers, causing further lag in both games. Clearly there is a lack in sensibility and insight on the part of R2 to realize how much overall data they are forcing their Towers to intake and process. Well, when you shove several cheeseburgers into the same person's mouth over and over along an extended period of time, they eventually become excessively obese and lethargic, unable to properly function, and eventually they can die as a result of heart failure. Crude analogy, but it fits the situation perfectly, so placing each merged server on their own Towers separate from other Crystal Saga/Wartune servers is a much smarter solution than compiling all into one Tower that will eventually suffer "heart failure" and crash completely.

Oh, there's much more, but I've said enough for the time being, if R2 wants Crystal Saga to win the award, take my advice to heart and hop to it. And hurry, the time to keep competitive in the race for the award is running out.

I am FarFallen, I have spoken, let's see if you listen this time and show you're worthy of our praise and our vote.

Give me incentive to vote, from what ive read there is no more keys available and i do not feel as if you even belong on any sort of top list

- fix your lag issues, get some servers for crying out loud, you guys make so much money from players everyday for PIXELS! use some of that to get some decent equipment

- customer service, need I say more? you guys dont listen your answers seem to be automated

- BAN THE SCAMMERS, theres like 20 people running server to server hacking and scamming their way around and you still havent done anything at all to reprimand any of these suspects

Total *meep*! voted and got nothing! Pure *meep*!
