Every MMORPG recruits from places like this forum. They recruit players from wherever players exist. Where else are they going to get players from?
I have no issue with Funcom recruiting players. It's just that everything they do spells LAZY. TSW is a decent game to pick up if you find it at bargain price (Steam for example). The same is said about Destiny.
Anywho, I think its just retarded. For a game that wants to show off smarts, it shows marketing strategy but really, just a direct link to the funcom site where you have to buy the product for 30 bucks? Really?
I know most people do research before purchase but cant you at least, like, entice would-be players into a purchase? The GW2 comparison also fits in this case.
GW2: 50% off for $20,- including some (temporary) starter items or extra inventory or a pet or whatever. And an option to choose the $40,- digital pass.
TSW: Buy. 29,99. See the difference?
And its not like its not there. The basic package includes what, the first 3 issues? You get some social, pet and boosters perhaps? I forgot. FInish 10 missions and you get FC points for free?
If you press "learn more" you only get "Progress, explore, trade, group, quest and battle in PvP - it is all included in your purchase!"
Thats suppose to be the tagline to buy? It really deserves a facepalm.
