The people defending Jacobs both in the thread and in this comment section, have obviously forgotten the pompous ass that is Mark Jacobs. This is the same guy that claimed he "invented MUDS and hence all MMO's"...this is the dude that instead of listening to his community, decided to drop kick customer service onto the VN boards, installed some pissy 15 year old moderators as the "message keepers", then told them to fuck off after all. A mate and I were actually discussing this trend. Back when DAOC was fresh, the dev's didn't give two shits, they brought out expansions, patches, items, changes, class balances that no one wanted, needed or could even possibly see a reason for. All in the name of allmighty Jacobs and Firor, that piece of shit shill. Now looky? When Jacobs and his lackeys fucked off to do the drop kick that was their little Rome in Space headfuck, the Live team actually managed to implement some OKish changes. When they started to do WAR full time, the live team actually started implementing things that people have been crying for 4+ years (Hello Warden shield spec, how are you?).
You can't have a constructive discussion with a narcistic maniac and expect to even get through, much less achieve anything.
