The one consistent critic on Heavensward is "too much like ARR"? srsly?

I was expecting that initial spark to be reignited. It was while I was leveling and working through the story. Tomestone grinding put it out again though.

Can't be helped really. Players will always consume content faster than developers can create it.

This is partly why I have advocated having sandbox elements in MMOs.

In sandboxes, the playground doesn't change to entertain. Playing with others is where the fun comes from - gameplay ideally suited to MMOs.

With sandboxes, players write the story.

I think it's why I always go back to Eve online eventually. It's slow, tedious, grindy, full of assholes, but I make my own story (and I don't end up grinding the same few dungeons for gear .)
