Hello team,
I have been playing your game for about two years now. I have really enjoyed it. It is one of the best ideas for an FPS out there. I have sticked with you through it all, cheering and rooting for you when everyone was saying bad things about you.
I have stuck with you through Essence and VIP points. I have bought skins and various boosters. I purchased the Founder's Pack way back. I have bought a lot of crystals from you. I have reported bugs and tested the game on PTS.
I have mained Mal'damba since his release in OB30-something, can't really remember that far back.
I have made up excuses for OB64, so I could explain to myself why would you turn Paladins into a pay2win game, and posted on every social media "RIP OB64" when you took it down.
I love this game so much, guys, that is why my advice to the developing team is to sell Paladins to the highest bidder, so they can continue what you so curagiously began, but, for whatever reason, can't seem to take a hold of, and finish.
I would gladly pay $50 bucks for a bug-free and balanced Paladins any day, over a free2play buggy and frustrating one that it currently is, which pains me to even write.
I do hope you don't take this as criticism by any means. What you made is a beautiful and imaginative game, which is nearing a state of un-playability for many of your hardcore fans. Be brave and admit you don't have the means to fix Paladins, and give it to someone who can. If you can, hire a studio who can recode the whole game altogether, preferably in Unreal Engine 4.
I wish you guys all the best, and I hope you don't take this thread down. However, if you decide to do so, that would only confirm that you saw it, so maybe someone there can get an idea or two from this message.
I really wish you guys all the best out there in the entertainment industry, it's tough...
Kindest regards,
A Wishful Thinker
