In her defense, this is really all she was complaining about. Whether it be quality or quantity. (Sorry not trying to provoke you, just putting that out there.)Quote:

I would be great if they have a good mix of open and instance content. Some people love fighting over claims for mobs. Others don't. It does not have to be one or the other.

It seems like we have "I want a balance of the two" and "I was instanced only" From a viewers standpoint it seems like those that only want instanced content are the "bad guys" so to speak. Everyone just wants a balance, it keeps the game fresh...get burned out on Open World, jump into the nearest instance. Get tired of the hum-drum style of instance content, jump into an Open world dungeon.
Its not what is it that really matters here...its having the OPTIONS of play style available 24/7. -
12-06-2011, 08:59 PMVixDid you play 11? Im not doing this as a snide comment or anything, but rather to convey by example of personal experience as to why I disagree with you.Quote:

I cant find anything ever that has meant such satisfaction in a game.
My point is, if anything they need more of it. That was the charm of 11 that everyone can remember. -
12-06-2011, 10:15 PMWiiSamI understand that feeling but that's too intense today. I didn't play XI for too long, at level 50 thf I was strong enough to kill some dragonfly NM in...Dunes? He dropped emperor's hairpin, and with treasure hunter 2 I thought let's give it a shot. I camped him roughly 8 hours a day for 2 weeks. Only managed to claim him like 3 times and no drop.Quote:

Other than that though, not my cup of tea. -

If you were at all concerned with being the best player or geared out correctly I doubt you would have a problem with it. Yes, you have budged a little. But most of us on the open world camping NMs side have agreed that we need all sorts of content and you refuse to think letting us have content we enjoy is right. You know how dumb that sounds? You're basically excluding part of the player base. We want to camp NMs, we want fierce competition, get over yourself with this attitude of competitionis bad crap.Quote:

Open world provides a sense of... wait for it... a populated virtual world. Being able to run into people in the open world, choosing to help them, or not, I think is a HUGE aspect and positive of an MMORPG. I mean if everything were to be instanced, why not just make it a single player game with a multiplayer lobby a la Starcraft.
