Instanced Content is it killing gaming?

[jrollins89]

Yeah I love the folks who say they like instanced because they don't have to wait. I have literally waited hours in this game for a grp only to finally get in one and have folks leave or never move once in the instance. Yeah thats fuuun. But (@ Zumi) you will pay $15.99 to play 8 hours a month? yes I am LOLing at your logic.

There will always be a time constraints in MMO's but they can be fun. I would rather grind for that 1% drop rate then wait for hours to grp with people Idk and will never see again (It is not community friendly either). Either way its waiting but at least I'm doing something in the prior. Until there is an MMO that gives you a max char with full gear some folks will always be unhappy.Even then they still would be unhappy because nothing to do I don't get them. I am not one of them. I just prefer to be doing something other than waiting in a freaking que that I may never actually get into. Waiting on a que or 1% drop rate grind? hmmmm I will take the grind thx.

Then why are you here? The majority don't agree with you so go play FFXI if you want that sort of thing. Nobody is forcing you to stay here.

Sounds like you have "first love syndrome". No matter what new content is made, you'll always want to go back to your first love.

Yes. I've always said: don't do what you like - like what you do. Therefore, I firmly believe not to be playing an MMO, but a FF game alongside many other people that have somehow appeared within my world. They've done an excellent job and for being as instanced, to me, it removes no joy, whatsoever.

@ jrollins I got 5 days left then I wont be. I will probably go back to playing RPGs on console,More difficult and challenging with no downtime but please enjoy your empty white knighthood kingdom lol.

Why are people acting like claim bots had guaranteed claim? Have none of you ever out-claimed a bot?

[Mladenaught]

I'm with you Nuinn Fates are good only for leveling and little else. You aren't getting any incentive like a rare drop or just anything substantive other than xp and company tickets.

Instance content by design fences out the community and content. You havent prevented griefing you have only created a new way to do it.

The only incentive must be the gameplay itself, where you either like it or you don't, regardless of it being instanced.

Heres the deal I have been here since 2010 mainly because I like the franchise. DoH was fun, DoL was fun, Story is great. Dungeon stuff was/is not fun plain and simple. I maxed out all my DoL and DoH. I have all my DoM capped so all I have left is sitting in que or dailies. I have done all I considered fun in this game.

Party find is a joke because you can't get a grp if you are new to the fight, and I have been dropped a few times in regular duty finder just because of being new to a fight. That IS NOT fun for anyone unless you are mental.

I very rarely spend any time here on the forums as you can see by my post count. I am not here to defame the game just expressing my concerns before I hit the door. To paint me as some sort of uninformed jerk speaks more of some of you then it does me.I speak from years of personal MMO experience and can certainly see the ways MMOs have changed. Maybe its just time to get a new hobby. Theres always free GW2 if I get an MMO itch

@jrollins not mad bro, are you?

snip

so you're going to blame the mechanics for player behavior?

[jrollins89]

DoL, DoM, DoH all maxed? Maybe it's time to try a new game called "go outside the basement" instead of "I have nothing left to do in a game that I dropped hundreds/thousands of hours in over the past 4 years so I'll just go whine about that even though the game is adding new content every 3 months"?
