WestWind wrote:And I'm going to let it.

I'm tired of playing a system that is simply no longer fun to play. Maybe it's truly random, I don't know, but it's simply not fun anymore. I did a little analysis of my own rolls a while back that showed how far I was from what would be considered a normal distribution, and it was WAY off. Unfortunately, I had to reformat my computer and lost the data I've gotten since then, but just based on what I've seen nothing has gotten better.

It might just be coincidence that I dropped 350 points since right about when more of the dice bitching threads started popping up about the new system. I really have no clue. All I know is that it's no longer fun to join a game and not be able to win a dice roll for 5-7 consecutive turns. No amount of strategy can compensate for that, and it happens very frequently for me.

Simply put, I'm not having fun anymore. So...that's enough for me. I'm not going to keep paying for a product that I'm not happy with. Maybe I'll do freemium games to see if anything changes, but we'll see. It was a fun 6-7 months before my "luck" turned to absolute shit, but now it's over.

Thanks for that useless little nugget. Sometimes less is more. Totally sucks when your mouth opens and the best you can come up with is ok. Neanderthals have had more intelligent grunts.

I'm not saying the administrators of the site are bad people or deliberately trying to rip people off, but that they might be becoming out of touch with what at least a good portion of the player-base on this site feels about the current system.

Also, if I left right now I'd drop out of the 5 games I'm currently in. Even if I'm leaving, that's pretty god-damn rude. Also, I'd like to keep my 99% turn completion rate.

I'd like to know where you got this figure from. I think dice satisfaction is something like 53% against and 46% for it
