Yeah, uh, the reason I dislike Eternal Crusade is that they scrapped the Open World entirely and scaled back the Persistent World to literally just the Campaign Map. If those two things were still on track, I wouldn't have such a negative opinion of EC. But... they literally scrapped features after 4 years of development promising those features would come eventually, that were crucial parts of the reason I was so interested in EC.
I think you enjoy both of those games and clearly you found some value in them. I know a lot of people, but I don't really see what my social life has to do with anything.
In total I payed a little over 100$ and won a giveaway, ending up with 250'500 RTC. I have spent zero RTC so far, because none of the available items are interesting to me. So I won't be needing any more RTC any time soon, which in turn means no money. As for putting more money into EC, simply to raise the chances of the game becoming a success... Why would I?
No. What I said was fact, not opinion, as Steam tracks my playtime on EC and STO and the /played function in WoW provides total playtime on any character you log into. And frankly, I'm not the one who said that money spent to length played is an accurate representation of how enjoyable a game is.
