The Fate of Campaign?

[Deifact]

They could call the new points "Merit Points" and you could use them to purchase enhancements for your jobs that would keep their value even when every monthly update brought new "Merit" categories. They could be available to all players. Not just the people who had 18 extremely dedicated buddies that all work the same schedule and speak the same language. It would be glorious...

Ahh but that was not possible. Matsui only had two options. Raise the level cap or make an incredibly convoluted system of gear levels that makes the entire game seem pointless. Those were the only two options. No other viable option existed because there was no other system in existence that could allow players to grow.

And players HAD to grow. There was no way they could continue the game without that. I mean, no game could survive for years on end by releasing new expansions, missions, quests, dungeons etc. without raising the level cap. That's just impossible.

I was going to try and reply with something as equally witty and hilarious, but then I just sighed and thought "When did this game become such a chore?"
