@Miles - If only Outspark can sit back and look at the whole picture like you!!! They might actually improve dramatically... (esp with ur bots point)...
Cant say i completely agree with ur inflation scenario... gold sellers have bots that continually grind and farm and they're machines that is constantly getting kills, drops, and money.... and they build up a bank that they advertise and sell off to players...
As you said, inflation occurs when ppl get money from quest and NPCing drops... Gold sellers are increasing the number of gold floating around on the market... of coz, it doesnt contribute to the inflation until someone buys it from them... but the gold sellers are potentially there with the gold to increase inflation... there wont be that risk if they didnt exist...
And i have heard about ppl buying gold from them so it does happen!!!
But i have the same view as u regarding Point 4~

However, what I disagree with, is being denied the ability to participate in events simply because I dont purchase things from the cash shop.

Well... I look at it as an extra opportunity for those who use cash shop to get something extra from the game... the clover event isnt the only event quest implemented... there's also the apple cider quest for non-cash shop players for a chance to get a cash shop item....
Like Miles said, what's wrong with rewarding ppl that's keeping the game running? I dont think Outspark is doing too bad in that aspect, there's been a few event quest now (and achievement quest) where non-cash shop players have a chance to get cash shop items too... (provided that the quest works LOL!! but that's a different matter)
Yeah i cant say much about the patching issue... i guess they're getting better at compensating us... (exp event after server down, rolling back our cash shop items etc) but yeah they should start looking at testing the patch... rather than waiting till it stuffs up and compensating us... prevention is better than treatment... but... i'm not too fussed....
