No MMO will make it far if there isn't pride in getting uberleet awesome gear that acts as elevated status. It's one of the major drawing points to MMOs. The trials and tribulations, the stories, the drama, and the legends are what make an MMO good, once you take that away, you've got a dying game. MMOs are mainly interactive soap operas. Once you take the drama out, it's just a lame waste of time.

There's no epic feats in this game anymore. SE is trying to cater to easymode play, and when they try to go back to give actual MMOers a challenge, they don't know how to do it, so they just slap an unrealistic time limit on the event. This is a really shitty practice too.

No one's cleared Neo-Nyzul without third party apps, because of randomness and a retarded time limit. No one will clear Legion without PD/Embrava rotations and 2hr zergs, because of the retarded time limit.
