A question for the people who want faster exp.

The fact is people hate RPGs now. We are in the age of first person shooter and action games. The RPG game where character and story progression was 100% of the game is more or less done. It is considered oldschool, not fun, boring, old eastern gaming mentality.

It sucks because the RPG was my favorite genre, but it is more or less on life support due to the western game movement.

Honestly the mmorpg genre has what around 28million people... out of that 28million people probably about 10-15million people really hate rpgs, sorta blows my mind. I think that is why bliz is making a shooter mmo for their next big thing they realize most mmo players hate the games they are playing. Just really sucks for us who enjoy a good old fashion rpg.

People are cheering this massive sp on because they hate progression, they just want to be in the action.

Yeah, this is pretty much my exact view on it as well. It's like half the people playing an MMO really want to be playing a straight hack and slash, and the genre is catering to that half.

Have you played a first person shooter recently? They all have levelling systems in them, probably more firce than most MMO's, take call of duty mw3, it has a level cap of 80, and you can hit that 15 times, so thats like 15 classes you can get to 80. You could just get to 80 and leave it there and you'd be good, limited in some way but good, you'd have less customization and freedom but its a choice. Its same and identical as MMO so your FPS comment is flawed.

Levelling is dumb, its there ONLY to give you something to do and make you not hit content so fast so that they can have time to make new content. It is also in P2P games a way to make you play longer so you pay more and they make more money out of you. Nothing else.

This is why a lot of single player games level you up through a story and its not mandatory because the content is there and the levelling up is completely optional and in some cases mainly just for the dedicated hardcore.

there are games, even mmos that cap you out right away and they work completely fine, they have content and hell, people even complete all that content and still play because they dont have to feel like they are working to play the game.

There is no-difference what so ever if you magically became 50 or if you hit your A button 5 million times to get there, absolute no difference. At the end your both 50 and dont need to level.

The materia argument, well its Optional, you can just buy it. The system is not forced on to you.
