Trends in content types and faux difficulty

[Nullie]

I think my whole issue with this is the idea that lvl 50 isn't really end-game. It is a temporaty end-game, yes, but in the long run (if there is a long run) it won't be. People are currently doing 15min runs of Toto-Rak and getting drops frequently. By this game's true end-game, this may be the same for current end-game content.

That is exactly how I feel.

But my real issue with this whole argument is the fact that people need to get these items in the first place. What do people so desperately need these items for to do 200 speed runs at any given time? There's no PVP yet and there's no content beyond the current end-game. So why push yourself to that limit to the point you are tired of the content when you know very well that there's nothing after that? I think the drop-rates are fine. I don't get ousted from a party for not having those drops so it is no problem to me. I can find just as good gear by other means.

Do you just assume people "desperately" want them or do you think they just want to be rewarded for playing the game. Do you think they want to be prepared when new content comes out instead of having to worry about doing a bunch? You say it yourself. There's no content. So what else can you do? Stand around? Log off? If people choose to play the game like that they should. There's nothing wrong with that.

Word of advice, take your damn time or you'll tire yourself out. No matter what SE does, there's people that are going to spam whatever they can whenever. Remember when it was 8 leves every 36 hours? People would complete the 8 in a manner of minutes and then sit in game complaining about nothing to do. There was a problem there i admit, but there are those people that are using the current leve system and they have 0 leve allowances. Stop for a second and take a breather. Ask yourself, 'Do I really need to keep myself up for 12 straight hours to do this raid or can I just leave it to luck?'

Is there something wrong with having 0 leve allowances? Is that something you're not suppose to ever reach? Like the real zero is 50 and you need to take a break there. I don't quite understand that. Some people do things differently than you do. I have full 99 leves all the time. Should someone say to me "Hey, Stop doing what you're doing and use some of those leves. There are people out there who have 0 you know and you're wasting them." Sorry, that doesn't really make sense to me. I don't ever stop and think "Do I need to do this raid for 12 hours." If I did, it would be like "Do I need to play this game period? What do I get out of it? Nothing? Might as well not play and just quit."

Flipping a coin a million times doesn't increase the chances of a heads. It only solidifies the fact that it is 50 50.

Uhm, by my book it does. If I flip a coin once and its tails I'm out of luck. If I choose to flip it another 999,999 times I still have those chances of getting a heads. I think you mean the odds don't increase. Not the chances.
