What Brad designs cars? What a car that floats that isn"t quite ready yet, and looks more like Fred Flinstone"s car than a Delorian?
Brad lets be serious here for a moment without the spin. First you had 30 million dollars here to spend... and you wind up with this shitty game as your release product.
Now how did it come to this:
Lets harken back to the days of Sojourn (Toril) which I too played. What made that mud so fun, and last for years and years and years? The community. What community building tools does Vanguard have in its game? Very little, even back in beta we screamed for a LFG tool, things to get us together quicker (and there was only one continent at that time). Here lies Vanguards biggest problem. What little community you have now is made up of dire fanboi"s, or seeming to me to be people just looking for something different than WoW for the time being. Not only did Sojourn have that but the gameplay was second to none imho. Not only was the spell system (circles) and the actual playstyle one that kept you on the edge of your seat (unless you had a bot going ), it was one that really required a decent amount of skill and practice to use effectively.
Secondly, simply stated Vanguard was a game that promised to be 3rd generation. Again spin aside tell me what elements (besides a card game of diplomacy) is third gen? Originally there was alot of thinking outside the box, the game did play very different from what I personally was used to. It involved a combat system much more like playing MTG and really did have something, yet the combat was way to slow. So instead of modifying and fixing it, you decided to try something different. Fair enough, and the modified system (esp when global refresh was .9 seconds) was really actually kinda fun. Then only a few months from release you change everything again. Class design after class design and still the classes suck.
Lastly and more importantly all the broken promises you made, especially this one:

What really gripes my ass is the way you spin shit it sounds like George W Bush. Come clean tell the truth, be honest with your community. From what I understand the game is gonna now be changed quite considerably. What next, make it even easier than before? Its sad truly sad what has happened with this game that had so much potential... so much more can be said but ive already wasted enough of my time in Vanguard...
Instead of this:
You give us this:
