Pixie reputation capped!

This, except unironically.

Life is hard for those with Stockholm Syndrome.

I want to stay with Feo Ul but the game wont let me. Once again I have been robbed a wholesome and unhealthy relationship.

Nothing stops you from just going there and walk around you know.

Sure there is. It's called "nothing but instanced content".

...you mean the "nothing of content" that you burnt through or arent intrested in? Content like FATEs, quests, gathering, crafting, beast tribes (...that you dont wanna do for the rewards still offered), maps, hunts, sight seeing log, just enjoying the scenery to take screenshots...

I am a big fan of the opposite myself, "nothing but overworld zergfests".

Hunts are a huge hit with the community after-all. As are battle leves.

I played Lineage 2 for close to a decade. Sure, overworld can be fun. Key word is can. Most of the time, its a mess, with people fighting over mobs, or people fighting over the location for specific things.

Lets look at maps, one of the few "proccable" overworld activities that people do frequently. I have seen people pass off the idea that making the hunts like maps, or boss fates like maps, where you get an item to spawn the enemy, as a better variation than FATEs or instances.

Heres where the issue comes in. There are only so many locations they can use for spawns. And if the content is good enough, and rewards enticing enough, those spawns will turn into Limsa. No one will be able to do it and it will be a mess.

This is why overworld content is no longer a good idea.

Bought everything and leveled everything through FATEs.

, quests,

I have done every side quest in every zone.

gathering,

Been there, done that. Hard to make money off of something bots can do better.

crafting,

Leveled those, too.

beast tribes (...that you dont wanna do for the rewards still offered),

I have ALL the rewards.

maps, hunts,

Those are things that you do in a zone, then immediately leave. It's no different than a timed gathering node. You go, you get it, you get out. 5 minutes, tops.

sight seeing log,

Did all of that.

just enjoying the scenery to take screenshots...

665 pictures in my screenshots folder currently.

What exactly are you trying to convey here? You want more open world activities in zones? Say that once and be done with it, rather than "nothing but instanced content" when you have supposedly done everything that wasn't instanced content (that I assume wasn't a short period of time). I suggest Guild Wars 2, if you want some meaningless trash to go do in zones.

Pixie Tribes are a funny subject for this veiled complaint thread. Being that they take a grand total of 5 minutes or less to complete fully. I'll give you that.

[FoxyAreku]

Everything is 80, so... nope!

You mean to tell me that there's nothing to do once you've done everything?

Go figure.

As a matter of fact, I have said that.

It's fun to posit it in different forms to see what kind of response I get.

Sadly, I get the same responses every time.

People seem completely content to let game potential fall by the wayside and then treat me like I'm the crazy one for wanting more out of some of the things that are already here.

SE will do what SE does. They are probably content in the fact that their shared FATEs had livened up zones for a short period of time.

What exactly do you suggest they add? This is no easy fix. You have to have a piece of content across zones past sidequests, FATEs, and whatever else they have already implemented. Is it plausible? But remember unfortunately due to their "tight" development cycle, they can barely get done with outfits fit to current races in time without slowing their release cycle. They can't do a single hairstyle or a piece of headgear adapted to viera/hrothgar. Unless they already have something planned CURRENTLY, don't expect an idea of yours to even surface until next expansion, unless it's a minor suggestion. At best they will silently acknowledge it internally, or maybe they would actually acknowledge it and make a response like "we are working on it" - when they actually aren't.

Don't forget to keep in mind "limitations" on top of those "resources" to implement your idea. Or were you really just hoping someone here had a fresh idea? You are the one who made the thread, you are the one who should come up with something constructive, not the other way around.

Time to leave Il Mheg and not have any reason to go back, like the rest of the zones!

It's an easy five phantasmagoria tomestones each quest, so I still do the pixie quests while there for the daily hunts.
