This isn't going to be positive and not necessarily meant for the person who reads it, so...get the gummy bears and a pillow. I need to get this out.

On average, I get dropped from one in three games (my internet is fine), and almost always I'm playing against insufferable lag. I was kicked from a game for low fps the other day, but my computer can run the game at a solid 60, no issues. I don't know where the problem is exactly but it is definitely connection related, players stutter around the gameworld and I'm always encountering Synchronizing pauses that interrupt my fights. I run into people in chat who encounter the same sorts of things. Almost every match at least two players are dropped (you could use the Rage Quit reasoning, but I've never quit a match, I've been disconnected due to nonsensical errors an uncountable amount of times, so I'm inclined to give other players the benefit of the doubt). Nothing quite like getting a connection error message in the final minutes when your team really needs you in the game. Thanks Ubisoft, it's a special feeling I can get anywhere else.

I originally thought I could be patient and quiet and wait for the (hopefully) inevitable patches that will be released in the coming months (I'd like to affirm that this is unacceptable for any ethical business), I thought I could tolerate it (please take a moment to consider my very deliberate use of the word "tolerate": I've spent $100 AUD, and I have to "tolerate" the often unplayable nature of the product as it was released. That is utterly disgusting. Be. Ashamed.) But things seem to be getting worse, not better.

But before my final point, I need to address something else: the abhorrent micro-transaction fever infesting the game's economy. It is in so many ways a slap in the face to paying customers...oh wait, my mistake, every purchaser of this game is a "paying customer". You're literally capitalizing on the ignorance of your consumers; ignorant because no self-respecting earner gives away their money in the fashion you would ask. You are conducting psychological warfare to make money, priming your users to spend, using every trick in the book to ensure you siphon as much out of us as possible. And don't you dare deny it. You can't accidentally construct something this manipulative and exploitative. How do you sleep at night when the only thing your game does in its released condition is beg the user for more money? From one human being to another: You disgust me.

My final point is simply that I'm losing interest in the game. As of writing this, I've lost interest for the evening. The new characters are something I'd like to try but I don't even know if it'll be feasible for me to get any of them, I might need the Season Pass. I haven't searched it up, and at the moment, I don't really care. The recent balance changes have made my 100+ hours of play pretty worthless in some cases. Even when the game does actually function, it doesn't respond the same way. I'm disheartened and disappointed; looking for a reason to not put the game down permanently.

In any case, I look forward to hearing nothing from you [Ubisoft], seeing the same horrendous business practices repeated in whatever else you release in the future, and I go back to college in a few days, so I'll be back to playing on weekends, which means I'm also looking forward to having the Steel for those new executions in six months.
