Itchy Trirger Finger

[Shioban]

The problem with the game in its current state is that when it comes down to it really the only thing your going to be doing and is worth your while to level up in the game is to grind fates. Lets face it Fates start off ok and fun but the fun dies out very fast as you realize they are fairly uninteresting and have a very copy/paste feeling about them. They are nothing more then a dull version of a Rift from that game. If you've played Rift the only thing here you can do is agree. The GW2 event system even fared a bit better but that one is debatable at least.

Nothing requires you to do fates, there are many ways to level your classes, FATE's are just one option. Just because it's the fastest, does not mean you have to do it.

As other people have said, there is a ton of new content being added to the game. Bearing in mind this game has only been out for a few months, which currently on its release client has achieved more interesting and well thought out content on launch than the majority of the MMOs I've played in the past 5-6 years.

And all of this was done in two years, be patient or simply continue playing other games.

My point is that those other games held your attention longer because they did not force you down a leveling path like we all hate. A very good example is Tera for that.

They need to give us a variety of ways to level up our characters to keep us interested so that our "Jobs" don't actually feel like Jobs.

•FATE's
•Quests
•Guildhests
•Guildleves
•Field Mobs
•Exploration
•12 Lower-Level Dungeons
•Hunting Log

You DO have a variety, more-so than most games which would simply consist of quests, and field monsters and the occasional dungeon.

Don't like or got bored of Fates? Try finding a large group of monsters and see how high you can get your Exp chain...why did they put those chains in there anyway if you can't really utilize them by leveling up this way!!!!? Possibly just nostalgia from past games. Don't like having to level that way? Then don't. since when did having a choice hurt you. Maybe you like to grind dungeons for exp. You get a chance at those awesome dungeon gears that way also!!! How about some daily quests or even daily hunting logs. I always liked the idea of those logs but they just well.... Ran out

Daily Quests are coming in 2.1
Dungeon EXP is being raised
Grinding Mobs on the field was the whole point of having your hunting log (which were designed as a boost to your EXP not your main source).
Mob EXP chains can and will level you up, it's just not as fast as the other methods, you're arguing the point that not everything is as fast as the other, this is completely intentional, you have more than one option available to you when it comes to leveling.

I don't see the harm in having these other leveling methods match the leveling speed of Fates. I get that the game devs wanted us to experience Fates and not go off and get max level ignoring them completely BUT if you strip the community of free will and choice your game will ultimately fail. Thats the direction Successful MMO's need to head in these days.

So i wrote this because here i am with a itchy trigger finger waiting to come back to a game with AMAZING potential for greatness.

(/shrug) I'll re-iterate, FATEs aren't the only way they're simply the fastest way, if you choose to bore yourself by spamming FATE's over and over again then of course you're going to get bored. Try something else for a change, there are many other options available to you other than zerging one fate to the next for hours on end.




P.S. For someone making fun of other peoples spelling and grammar, yours is truly atrocious.
