And yet, has the single most likes of any post here.

The question remains exactly which slice of the MMO population ARR Appeals to. And again, this tangent ignores the strongest counterpoint standing: Crystal Tower exists as part of the progression, it simply fills the gap.

The fact that whether or not Starwinds or my viewpoints on Progression Obsession is in the minority, those who are at the point where gear from CT is not an upgrade to current pieces of gear are in a minority as well.


Those who cannot benefit from gearing one of their classes in CT are in an even smaller minority, and it speaks large amounts of selfishness to expect that content be altered to cater specifically to them above other players who would benefit more for the content to be delivered as initially advertised.

I'll play content for the fun of it, and collect the goodies out of pure kleptomania, upgrade or not. I don't expect this playstyle to be in the majority, but I do expect other people to acknowledge when their preferences are also in the minority, and should tone down their expectations accordingly.
