Elaborate. I should maybe download it. But last I checked you just buy a couple of guns with real money and you're set.

Read through the rest of the descriptions of how terrible PWE is, it's pretty much exactly that.

From what I specifically remember, you start with one piece of S#&$ gun, which is severely outclassed by everything in the game you can buy, which is everything. You get some kind of currency akin to credits that you earn per match that you can spend to RENT PER MATCH attachments and other weapons and gear. In fact, I believe that even with real money, you still are renting weapons and attachments, you just get an extended period of time on your rental period. The only way to really win in this game is buying things with real money and then you absolutely wreck everyone who is playing free.

Anybody else playing other games until we know exactly what's going to happen with Warframe?  I already have extensive first hand knowledge with STO, that's more than enough incentive not to sink any time into something that Perfect World controls.

 

Trudging through my Steam backlog.

 

Getting back into Path of Exile and Diablo 3.

 

Practicing for EVO 2014 next week (wifi is making this hard though :/).

 

And attending to real life commitments.

TL;DR: do not log in to Warframe for the time being, thank you.

DE probably cannot stop PWE from buying it. But you can.

 

I think this is the crucial first point to start with. This isn't necessarily DE's fault and even if DE doesn't want it, they probably can't stop it. The shareholders decide DE's fate, and if PWE is paying them a lot of money, they are going to sell. They don't care about Warframe or its community, they only care about the capital gains they make on their shares in the case of a buy-out.

 

This means that we cannot focus our rage and anger at DE, we have to focus it at PWE.

 

PWE shops around for games based on a number of faceless metrics, such as logins per day, average session length, peak concurrent users, average revenue per user, etc. They are not buying DE because they think players will like it, and will not be dissuaded from their purchase if players complain. Words are worthless to PWE: metrics are all that matter.

 

Forum posts do not matter to PWE. Complaints do not matter to PWE. Petitions do not matter to PWE.

 

There is only one channel through which we can voice our displeasure about the PWE takeover, and that is metrics.

 

The only way Warframe players can send any kind of meaningful message to PWE to have them call off the deal is by causing a sufficiently significant change in operating metrics that would have to be reported to the potential buyer during the process of lawful disclosure during the MNA (mergers and acquisitions) process.

 

PWE will absolutely drop the deal for DE if Warframe activity metrics falter significantly.

 

This is a challenge between the power of the community to stand up for their game (by refusing to play it at all) and the apathy that PWE is banking on.

 

PWE probably expects a few people to protest or to quit, and if a few of us do then they go ahead and destroy this game.

 

This is the community's chance to prove that it can't be ignored. And I'm not talking about some symbolic 1-hour walkout or a 24-hour boycott. I'm talking about not playing at all, even if they release a massive content patch, until we are certain that PWE is out of the picture.

 

Everyone who logs in to Warframe, for whatever purpose, is currently supporting the PWE buy-out of DE. Period. If you want to keep the game PWE-free, do not log in. Clan leaders should log in, set their MOTD to a notification about not logging in, and log out again.

 

Stay on the forums, stay active and make yourselves heard here, but absolutely do not log in to the game. Show DE the empty desert they'll have if PWE buys them out and then you can all return to the lush oasis of Warframe once this 11th plague has blown over.

Yes I completely agree to this. I wont be logging on either until all this is over.

I've never seen this much concentrated hate before. Why does everyone want PW to die a horrific death?

 

If you'd play a PWE Game before, You'd know.

 

They downright ruin so many games they come into acquiring by P2W Mechanics for days.

 

Also their support.. Ugh.

 

Just. No.

How is it so different?

Well in the beginning there was a lot of content updates, nerfs, buffs, etc. but since about a year, the game is dead. No content, exept one or two maps from Blacklight Tango down put into the game, but thats not content cause the maps are S#&$, no anti-cheat updates, the list goes on.  

 

But everything began with the day when PWE made a change to the market: no 1 day weapon rents, exept for zen.
