Whoosh.
EDIT: Yeah, all that work and it's still going to be worse than someone who got lucky on Turn 9. I'll pass.
I still dont know anyone who quit over that. If you do not enjoy a certain aspect, don't do it. Quitting a game over it? Lol me.. whatever floats their boat i guess.
Because that it what it turns into. If you do something you do NOT enjoy, why would you do that? The only reason i see, is getting paid for it.
To put it most simply, because the option is there. It's a progressive goal, something to aim for, and once you get rolling on that ball it can be hard to quit, even when you reach the top of the hill just to find a mountain. It's not always easy to drop something because it no longer becomes fun for a while, but keep at it and many eventually put it down and quit.
Not sure where I said that I'm participating in this content, I personally refuse to participate in this even though it's the damn relic weapon of all things. There's a reason I'm still playing the game while all my friends have quit and it's probably because I choose to opt out of this.
That said, I still don't like seeing my friends quit the game due to this "content", and I would still love the opportunity to get these weapons without quitting the game before I make it there. You can fault me for that all you want but I will fight this to the bitter end since they took something epic like zodiak weapons and surrounded it with outdated filler content that is not hard at all.
I wouldn't ever equate MMOs to a job. Although I feel they are more than a game, maybe a hobby.
So.. let me get this straight, you can't believe that somebody would quit the game over not wanting to do something they don't enjoy, and then you go on to say that people should not do things they don't enjoy doing.
I think it's wonderful that none of your friends are quitting due to this "content" but whether you believe it or not several of mine are and that's the reason I dislike it.
No, you got that wrong. If you do not enjoy a Game, go play something you enjoy. Simple, now if you do not like a certain aspect of a MMO, which has a huge variety of different content and OTHER options, why does that influence the rest of the Game? Leaving a game people say they "enjoy" for this certain aspect, is what i do not understand. It is like not buying a car, because you dont like the brake being blue instead of red on the back-right side, but like everything else about it.
The Novus part is not even a grind? Do 1 Quest a day and after 75 days you have all the alexandrite you need in theory. People do not have to grind fates, myth or anything else to get them, so i don't really see how this is worse than atma, like some people say.
