Why do you continue to play?

[Senzura]

ere are some that you can find in nearly every thread with a negative opinion about anything

People who like the game don't bother telling everyone about it, and just play the game. The minority that think the entire game is broken need to tell everyone about it.

I play because I'm having fun. I'm not sure there's another answer that matters.

No, you need to justify yourself to OP, otherwise you're not allowed to enjoy the game

I must be doing something wrong if "casuals" can not only level, but gear a class in 3 days. How are these casuals you speak of getting 3 weeks worth of myth tomes in 3 days? How are these casuals leveling to 50 in 3 days? I mean getting to 50 in 3 days is certainly possible, but not in a couple hours a day, unless again, I'm doing something very wrong.

No I think you misunderstood my statement. I'm saying that *I* can do that. That I can gear up a character in full DL in 3 days. With sub-10 min runs of WP that equates to 500-600 tomes an hour, and makes it easily possible to gear the character in 2 days (about 12 hours total). Casual to me is 4 hours a day 2-3 days a week which if you can't put this time in then honestly you aren't going to be able to raid and we shouldn't even be looking at raid content for you. This is where lower commitment content like dungeons and other pick up and go content is for. I'm not saying casuals shouldn't have content developed for them but raid content shouldn't have to take people that can't commit enough time to do it into consideration. I think the 'overton window' so to speak has been moved in the battle of casual vs hardcore. It used to be that there wasn't a battle because hardcores didn't care about casuals because both groups were more divided in their pursuits of gaming enjoyment, but now companies try to develop raid content for casuals as well as raiders while maintaining lower time constrained content easy and accessible somewhat alienating the hardcores. Blizzard for example released dungeon level content alongside of the next tier of raid content. But, the problem with 2.1 in particular and also subsequent patches (as this isnt the only patch for crystal tower) is that we will be getting a step back in content and then a forward move then a step back then a forward move. If they released them side by side there would be much less to complain about simply because the hardcore crowd would have something to do and then people would be able to gear up for coil in CT making the earlier terms easier.

YEAH! YOU TELL HER! People with a life and responsibilities shouldn't be able to experience the same game as those who can play the game all day!

People should learn to write in paragraphs. It makes your posts so much easier to read. Do 3 or 4 lines and then a break, WoT is painful.

There are alot of reasons why I play this game and keep on playing it.

One of them is that I have been looking for a new MMORPG for a while that I can enjoy and be one of the first playing it and to really really experience all end game content waves and not just the recent.

Another one is that I know this is an MMO!J!RPG which leaves me with some hope about it being difficult in difference to most western MMOs out there on the market (Pandaland WoW, I am looking at you). I am also confident that the audicence for JRPGs are way more mature than the WRPG market, knowing alot of those players are CoD babies who have not gamed before mid 2000s when the game industry became severly casualized.

This i do hope will lead to a community that asks for hard end game content and developers delivering just that for a skilltesting endgame that forges a community that stays afloat upon the dozens of failures and the sweet taste of success afterward that that kind of challenging content offers.

Also the fact that it is very heavy story focused is something I have missed in MMOs. This makes me feel more epiq than just being a one in a dozen adventurer. I like the flavor in that over just being one man/woman in an army.

I do also like that there is no need to make alts. That is really good as I want to play as my character no matter what. That I can play all classes on that character is a big big plus that I have the possibility to do so and it greatly enhances the time I play.

I also like the crafting/gathering system that makes you actually do something. The crafting is really addictive and the logs makes it go pretty fast and keep it feeling fun and fresh.

The instances in this game are many and fun. Yes, there could be more 50 content, but hey. Just because we are 50 doesn't mean we can not redo old dungeons. This is due to that we get level synced down and that we can play all classes on the same character. Some of the content is really challenging aswell which as I have said before is a very very good thing.

All in all, this is a game I have alot of hope for and I enjoy being part of the first wave of players that gets to enjoy all the end game at it's hardest.

And ofcourse, the community is king Head and shoulder above most MMOs I have played.

Mostly because my friends from other MMOs are playing this game.

For myself, I'm getting tired of the AOEs that hit me even when I am well out of the box, the mess that is gear and inventory management, the high likelihood that an hour long queue for a duty finder lvl 50 dungeon will be a failure due to inability to kill either the demon wall or the tonberry king or other people dropping and not getting replaced.
