I won't go into details about the specific really really bad decisions made in this patch that NO ONE is happy about, but the majority of the community is PISSED and people have announced that they are quiting, giving away their gold and items to other players before deleting their characters for good to never come back.
Spark Play 8.6 Patch has angered the community that had once thought it would be good, but they are dissapointed at what has happened. In short of what happened, everyone got FUCKED.
So far, complaints and opinions of players and having some very well know veterens quit have only gathered a small number of responces from Spark Play, and they do not seem to realizing that thier attempts to "Balance" gameplay have failed epicly.
Hopefully they will see their bad choices, and it will be fixed. If not, I'm sure we will be seeing a few more people quitting and the rest of the normal players will be gone or just be continueoulsy upset. As once they reach a certain point in the game now, there is no longer any point to play.
