If you don't like the released game ... don't pay to play it.

If you have payed for future games, they will refund your money for unused games if you ask them to.

No one is making anyone play anything they don't want to play. Nor has anyone payed for anything in the future at all (at least not that isn't refundable).

If you don't like it, then quit.
Missed the boat completely with the original post. The point being that the beta testing was rushed and not thoroughly done. With stop and go testing, people lose interest. Now, we are paying for an UNFINISHED product

When we signed up, we had 5 viable defenses to choose from. Now we have 2.

Oh, sorry, I thought this was a thread for reasoned argument, not hysterical shrieking. Carry on, Chicken Little.

Stop injecting logical, truthful facts into the equation. If you keep it up, you'll be one of the WIS payroll guys .

The terms of use have already been posted. Even if the game is changed and it absolutely sucks, that is still what we paid for. They can make changes and if we don't like it then we can be refunded monies that are for future seasons if you are not happy. We agreed to the terms when we signed up.

People can **** and moan and whine all they want, but this is a standard services agreement.

Did I use any !'s or unnecessary caps in my reply?

So, you are willing to go to a restaurant and pay for uncooked food? Or go buy a car with only three tires? As consumers you pay for a product that is PROMISED and nothing less.
...or buy Windows Vista

Very few companies would deliberately issue a product that isn't perfect. But, in reality, it happens.

Toyota's had a lot of negative publicity regarding their cars and has recalled many of them. But they're not alone.. In 2010, auto recalls have also been issued by Suzuki, GM, Ford, and Honda. Certainly, these cars were tested before they were sold.

If my car were recalled, would I feel that I was paying to be a beta-tester? No, I'd be a little irritated about the inconvenience but, overall, I'd feel grateful that the problem was being addressed.

Knight is on the old engine not the new one ... one issue has nothing to do with the other one.
100% wrong... you really have no clue do you.

The games played in Knight this past season were played with engine 3.8.3, the same engine as Naismith which has not rolled over to the new engine.
