The rockett said: As much as I Love Marvel, if it was not for the LINE community, i wouldn't be playing anymore. That is what keeps me here and I have spent a good amount of money on this game as well. Too many major changes to the game recently (some good most bad) the loss of trust in Demi/D3 to take care of ongoing issue (token exploit/bugs/etc) non testing of events at a high level (we will find out soon enough for Thanos if we are Beta testers) it is just sad to see this happen. It seems the player base it's self is shrinking at a shocking rate.
This is SO TRUE. The awesome community on LINE is 99% of what keeps me logging in each day even if just for the DDQ ( which I can barely muster up the motivation to play anymore).
Playing the game with real life friends, some of whom are my fellow officers and military buddies along with amazing people on the other side of the planet I may never meet is infinitely cool. D3 has no idea how lucky they are for LINE, without it I doubt this game could survive.

While I don't particularly care about OML, I don't like the idea of nerfing anyone, it's better to boost the weak ones (plus their rational was total tinykitty either a deliberate attempt to mislead us or they are totally out of touch with the game).2. Vaulting is the worst thing since vomited bread. It's clearly a love note to mega-whales at the expense of the majority of the community. It 'fixes' the vaulting problem in the same way that cutting your arm off fixes a problem with an in-grown fingernail.3. They continue to get lazier with the characters, now variants aren't even getting new artwork. The 5/3 releases were bad enough but it looks now we're gonna have 3 versions of Star Lord with tinykitty near identical artwork and 2 Gamora's.4. Major bugs every new release, they typically stay for at least 2 weeks, the countdown bug stayed for what 6, 8?It honestly feels like they've done some major changes internally for the worse and/or they are trying to squeeze the last bit of money out before this goes under.
I used to be in the "decent to spectacular" demographic but recent changes have all, and I really mean ALL been for the worse:
I mean, MPQ used to be on such a roll: the advent of champions and champion rewards was such a great innovation to the game, we got new events like Dr Strange which was actually really fun to play, we got some interesting characters and then ... all of a sudden the downward spiral started and thus I went for paying happy customer to disgruntled non-paying customer.
Either something went terribly wrong in their internal organisation or the game is starting to lose steam and they try to squeeze as much out of it as they still can before the ship sinks. It can only be one of these two issues.

Starfury said: While that's true, the forum is certainly quite representative of the paying player base.
I don't think that it's remotely "certain" that the forum is representative of the paying player base (I am skeptical of drawing broad conclusions from any self-selected data set). And even if it is, as I've pointed out numerous times to seemingly no effect, the results of this poll are not necessarily even representative of opinion on the forums (because those who are unhappy may be much more likely to respond, etc. etc.), which is one of many reasons (along with the low response rate) why they would likely be dismissed out of hand by any polling expert. Not to mention that I don't think that there were enough choices offered (my choice doesn't accurately reflect my opinion, but was the closest of the limited options available). I am also not a fan of the wording, which could also affect people's choice. I think the wording also too-closely mixes two things : how you feel about recent changes versus how you feel about the game overall.
I, for instance, certainly do not love some of the recent changes (nor do I absolutely hate them) and think there are MANY things that could be improved, but overall I love playing the game and find it far more than "decent" (maybe that's because I've only ben playing about five months and it's still fairly new to me.
I would rather have seen a poll that asked us to rate the game on a 1-10 scale with no descriptions and let people discuss (even though we've already discussed all of this ad nauseam)
