bum-rushing content

i dont understand why so many people just lvl 1-50/50-60 as soon as humanly possible only to slip right back into the "im bored as hell so i guess ill just keep paying my sub to log in 2x a week" mentality that hit most pretty hard between 2.xx and 3.0. is that really entertaining enough to pay to not play?

What are you on about? You could level ANOTHER job *gasp*

Because the leveling and gearing content is boring, so we rush it. The endgame stuff is fun, but we want to get it down ASAP to show off. Then there's not enough endgame stuff to keep us entertained, but we still like the game and want to keep playing, we just now have time to play other stuff. So we pay our sub, log in twice a week and wait, what's your problem, why do you care what we do anyway?

The OP probably cares because he runs into people that log in, take care of their business, and log out without giving a hoot about anything else. In an MMO, it's nice to have other players around, even if you don't play with them, you can chat, whether game related or not. Don't take a jab at the OP for having a different playstyle, just try explaining how yours differs from his. I myself am in no rush for content, I'll take my time to hit 60, then burn through the gearing phase to prep for Alexander.

You clearly have not played an mmo. You are SUPPOSED to rush content, GET the best gear, then STAND afk in a popular hub till next patch. This is how I play the game.

I hope you mean this ironic, because if you dont this is the worst experience one can have in a mmo.

Topic: well there are these who want to have the longest virtual dick. so they play several mmos, kill bosses the quickest way possible only to shove other their virt. dick in the face and say "LOOK AT MA EPEEN! MY EPEEN IS AMAZING!"

They fail to grasp that profiling over a mmo is a really sad thing to do and that some real serious cases need psychological treament (not everyone some rare really hard cases).

I hate bum rushing content too, but my raid group wanted us all 60 and geared before Alexander. That said, it was a blessing in disguise, because now I'm not on everyday doing dailies, and dungeons. Now that I've beaten the story I can enjoy other stories like my mining story, and my armorer's storyline. There's plenty of story to go around!! :p

Also to point out...MMO means massively MULTIPLAYER online...not SINGLEPLAYER.

I'm not rushing anything. Adding to the fact isn't trying to up one level now going from 50-60 equivalent to 3 levels or more in 1-50? (I put 'or more' because for sure between 1-10, like 50-51 would be like from lvl1 straight through lvl10 - judging by how quickly you can get past 5-6 levels early game [aka level 1-10])

I think he is talking about people always complaining about how bored they are and how there isn't any content and then you see their job and they are lv 60 on 3 jobs and the rest ignored achievement points barely in the 3k and so on.

yes it was ironic. I will never understand why people do this but then again I don't expect much from people online and when something nice does happen I'm pleasantly surprised. Is the need to say I beat this first and got this gear, therefore I am better more important than the actual enjoyment of the game and development of the story?

I can see this too. :/ I'm lvl55 and probably gonna spend some time leveling sub leveled classes/jobs.

Some people are not ironic about this

i personally dont have a problem as im not paying your subs lol im just legitimately curious is all. i myself find enjoyment in the non-endgame as well the super stressful finger pointing blame game that is ex/raids(shit gets hilarious in TS sometimes :p).

Been playing since the Early Access, still only hit level 58 this morning on my main, but I am leveling Dark Knight as well by doing roulettes with it every day too, 46 Drk.

I don't get why people rush through the game, the story has so far been absolutely amazing to enjoy and I'm not even finished yet. I still have 2 or 3 zones that I haven't even stepped into yet. Currently still working on getting all the Aether Currents for Sea of Clouds before I progress more into the story which is at this point leading me into the Dravanian Hinterlands.

Though I will admit I kinda wish I was already 60 so I could get that i160/170 gear and be ready for Alexander when the update happens. But.. well, we still have a bit of time before that. So I will likely still be able to hit 60 and get all my gear upgraded or close to it by the time that patch drops, I think. Though I wonder if I'll also be able to get my Drk up there and geared in time? Probably not, but I guess I'll see.

I got to 60 before EA ended, and I barely skipped any story. How people pace themselves through an MMO is their business. I love the story of the game so far, and I love reading the job quests as I level my SCH to 60 doing fates/dungeons. Overall I like rushing content to be able to freshly experience it as soon as possible because I'm excited not because of some epeen thing.

i can totally see where your coming from there. i myself spent EA just checking stuff out and lvld all my personally relevant jobs/classes together(pld, bsm, arm, miner) which was spent saying "wtf? i forgot how to gather!" for a day till i figured out this collectively thingy(still trying to figure it out lol)

I would have made 60 by the end of EA if not for the 2005 errors and all that, and was 60 not too long after it went fully live. I also greatly enjoyed the story, still have a lot to do beyond endgame, and still have endgame to do anyways. Yes I got there faster then many, but I've enjoyed and still am enjoying the game.

Personally I got to max level as soon as possible because I was very enthralled in the story - sorta like when you read a good book and suddenly you've realized you read it all in one sitting..oops

But while I'm back on the gear treadmill I'm trying to take my time. Leveling other classes, get tomes, gather...I'm spacing the rest of it out.

Thats the thing you guys have no problems, but the ones complaining normally are people who rush and skip the story get to 60 and say there is no content when they clearly didn't try crafting/gathering doing achieves or sidequests.

What would you call the first part of your post here?

I'm not rushing anything, just got 54 on my nin and have a bunch more to go, I don't get the need to rush, I try to do the quests at a steady pace, but I'm not trying to fly through it, not everyone plays the same way.

Once I finally do hit 60 I'm going to be lvling my first craft, probably goldsmith, and I have a feeling that will take a long, long while and I'm ok with that.

If you love the game you don't need to rush it, go at a medium steady pace, and try and go outside too.

oh yeah, the evil people who dont like quests in an mmo, how dare they not play solo for a month

Because

Because I wanted to level crafting and mining, SE decided that you [required level 58 to access specific areas to be able to mine them to obtain the items for crafting, so, I rushed through the story, through the craft, through the cut scenes because what I wanted to do was locked out, excellent design choice there SE /sarcasm.

Also reminds me when I saw in the PF for Bismarck EX "know your s#@t or you will be kicked" one day after the official launch.

You can add me to the list of people who don't understand why people get silly excited for a level cap increase, only to have the goal of obliterating those new levels as quickly as possible.

It's like choking down your absolute favorite infrequent meal as if it were part of a (insert favorite infrequent meal here) eating contest. Yum?
