Orchestrion Fail or Bugged??

[Sicno]

It's a collect-a-thon because they're giving us new reasons to go into old content. The game has always been like that and always will. I would much rather hunt down music for my jukebox than just have it given to me. That's boring.

I can understand wanting the convenience of having every song unlocked right away, but collecting items is a huge part of an MMO. Imagine if all Triple Triad cards were unlocked immediately or all minions or mounts or all gear designs. There would be no rewards for playing the game. This would make the game much less interesting and also would eat into its subscription numbers massively. Collecting music is no different from these features. Working toward a goal (in this case, getting a certain music or even getting them all) is what makes an MMO.

I'm perfectly fine with collecting things. I'm just saying that in the case of this feature what we got isn't what was requested. People requested some jukebox or a way to listen to other music because having 2 songs play all the time in housing wards (which are the areas where some people spend most of their time) can get very tiring. It was a simple request and it got turned into... this. Only works inside the house, you need to collect them and have them crafted from mastercraft books, the music is affected by your position related to the orchestrion itself...

...Oh, and let's not forget: you won't care about any of this if you or your FC don't have a house unless you plan on living inside an inn, where you can't do stuff like crafting. It was a very simple request which got unnecessarily convoluted. I even bet a lot of people were thinking of a jukebox as some sort of menu feature rather than a physical piece of furniture.
