Atenção Amigos! Fui suspenso dos fóruns por 1 mês pelo @patrick! Vejam aqui o motivo !

boring! The major drop in 2010 is the clean down of inactive team, now had you mentioned the continual drop since then.....no still boring.

Try again.

I can't remember what it was particularly about, but the person you mentioned has previously referred to complainants on another issue as mainly being "stressed office workers, drunks or children". Lately he's determined they whine, they're nay sayers, "there is no point listening to those who shout the loudest, or repeat that we are rubbish" and in fact managed to be the first Crew member I've ever known pick up an "*edited* removed implied swearing" badge.

Pah.

For me the sim is indeed an ongoing issue. I must say I personally also found the User Interface and layout change absolutely awful. I still hate it in comparison to the previous setup, which I found quite intuitive. Not only was the change bad, it was also pointless because yet again the community has a "new feature" imposed, which just about no-one asked for.

The sim, the User Interface and menu layout, the astonishing unwillingness of Crew to take basically any interest in what people are asking for, their months on end of invisibility... None of which would be as bad if there wasn't such clear potential to the game. I must also say it's clearly noticeable people drift out of the game, for these sorts of reasons, so I miss seeing them around or playing them.

The whole situation is boring and tiresome.

Looks like a "coalition for implementation of the old design" is in order, the sim can wait.

again? how many of those kind of topics i will be reading everyday? just shut the hell up and quit the game!

I guess this thread is a desperate attempt to catch Crews attention, before they go into their 3 month hibernation again..

Yeah Jaime, Patrick's tone on the forum lately seem quite aggressive, and doesn't quit fit the image of a CEO in action. Him being edited for implied swearing says quite a bit.

Agreed, the user interface isn't very user friendly at all. More than one year after it was implemented, I have still not gotten the hang of it. Often I go "hmmmfff!" when I try to maneveur my mouse arrow horizontally across the screen, only to miss the invisible corridor and having to start over again. On the forums there were a lot of upset people when the UI was released, and many of them said they would quit. I thought it was just empty threats. But looking at the numbers, it is quite clear many did just that.

New UI back in 2010, the simulator we have had since 2008, and the lack of communication from Crew, even at the admin level. All those factors are in my opinion key factors for the serious decline in users across MZ. And the decline has happened despite Crew running several "invite a friend" campaigns.

@marciocha_20:
No one forces you to read this thread. If you don't like it, don't read it. You see what I just did?

hazinho didnt you say good bye 2 months ago? why are you still there?

** edited implied insults ** - darkline

Haha! This is the hanzinho I know! Always complaining and being a **** in the ***!

I say as moffdacoach... it's really about time you rage quit for good if this game is so shitty as you say.

Would be nice if some FA could remove the personal insults from the users above. Thanks.

This is a thread for discussion, and if you have nothing better to contribute with than insults, then please leave it be.

I am not worried about any SIMs anymore because i have just sold almost of the old team...Still got a few more to sell
I am worried about the financial problems that MZ are facing because of the drops in the user numbers.

I just hope that they will survive and not pull the plug too soon.

Personal insults? There is non whatsoever.

Some people is actually tired of all the complaining.
Ok! The game needs a new sim and it needs a new and better transfer market, I totally agree, but come on!
You've been complaining for months, maybe years already hanzi.
Isn't it about time to quit? Or at least relax for a bit?

Crew needs money to develop this game, they're not magicans.
So... go ahead, play H2H matches, be a club member, be a happy MZ-manager for a while and maybe one of these days crew will surprise us all.

It's apparently hard for people to understand. I hate the User Interface, I dislike the sim, I dislike that because of the UI, the sim and other things a lot of people I like are either very rarely seen or have disappeared from the game altogether.

But. The game has such potential. It is like a badly injured animal, where there is a chance with the right care and attention it could be brought back to good health. It's not enjoyable as it is, it's better as it was, it has the potential to be far better than either in the future. For those who can see that, it can be very disheartening not only to not see improvement, but to sometimes see it go further downhill.

There are few more stupid sentiments imo than "If you don't like it, QUIT!" That's the lame give-up option. "If you don't like it, try to do something about it!" is much better. I don't understand the seemingly aggressive defence of two things in particular (the UI and the sim) which any fool scanning the forums can much over the last year or so in particular will have noticed countless (ignored) complaints about them. Each to their own.

"I am worried about the financial problems that MZ are facing because of the drops in the user numbers."
That is a good point. All who care about the game should be. The drop is inarguable and those people haven't left "because of the complaining", they've left because of the things complained about not being addressed.

Don't kill MZ now, I'm only just getting together / training a half decent young team...long live MZ!

1 thing I don't understand. These people who are arguing that the crew needs money to develop. WHY? Isn't this what their work is based on anyway? Aren't they already getting paid to work on what they were working on before? You guys are assuming they did H2H for free? You must be idiotic to think this way. It boggles my mind. If you're too stupid to understand:

1. Crew pays whatever money they pay to Marcus.
2. Marcus writes shit on the computer.
3. SIM changes.

No extra money. Extra money would be necessary if they were to get someone other than Marcus, which wouldn't be a bad thing. So unless I wasn't informed by Patrick, the communication guru, that they need money and you were, my bad. But otherwise, please stfu about crew needing this and that to develop shit.
