I enjoy the direction this game is going

People are still crying about instanced content? Seriously, move on.


Instanced content, lockouts and tome gear beat out 0.02% drop rates, farming and oppressive crafting/upgrade systems any day of the year.

Present me a quote from any thread demanding open world content where we demand we want 0.02% drop rates. Guess what -you can't, because no one ever said such thing. Refer to my comment on page 5 for what we want. Just diversity. If you like farming same dungeon every day for months then fine, but there are people who do not.

I dont really see the difference, open world, instance, if it doesnt give the best loot or people have already gotten their loot, people will not do them regardless if it's open world or instance. What they need to add is something that takes long time to get like the relic in 1.23. The hoops they made you go through just to get that one relic was insane but it kept that 40k people playing it. lol

I think my post (#51) explains horrific drop rates and the reason behind them. Also fixed your post. By asking for open world, you are in turn basically asking for horrific drop rates. Either that or nice long spawn times which is essentially a different style of lockout.

The game has over 1,500,000 players in total worldwide

Wrong. Registered copies =/= currently active subscriptions.

There's no difference.

It's actually a very big difference. More like 500k players who are still active, at best―which isn't a bad number by the way, but stop using false information to support your already faulty argument.

And this little gem right here is one of the dumbest things I have ever had the misfortune of reading on these forums―which is saying a lot.

So by asking SE to make more use of the open world they've created and to give us more activities to participate in outside of incredibly linear and scripted instances, what we're really asking for is to camp mobs with horrendous drop rates for hours on end...?

Please explain to me how one has anything to do with the other?

I want to add that those 500k are actually players, which log in every single day. That does not include "monday gamers", or people which log in here and there but still have active subs.

In the context of this thread which is referring to open world for epic gear which could be considered end game gear, it has everything to do with each other. It's called time gating. If you are unable to comprehend why they would time gate epic gear, then I have nothing else to say. No one likes it, but it is standard practice. To think otherwise would be the dumbest thing I would have ever heard on these forums.

Quote me post in this thread which demands epic end game gear from open world content. I'm starting to sound like a broken record but I'll say it again:

We just want SE to do something useful with the world they've created. If you and people alike are so afraid of it, feel free to stay in your inn room and pop your Duty finder 0/24 if you want, I do not have problem with it.

And before telling me "Well, you have FATEs, they are open world content!", yeah, sure bro. Their only use at the moment is to level alt characters, but even that is not cost effective since the nerf. Three dungeon mobs or one levequest award more experience than single FATE, and levequests even take less time to complete. In other words, FATEs are obsolete.

I dont really see the difference, open world, instance,

Instance = 4-24 Co-Op servers = Not MMO.
Open World = 3k+ people on same server = MMO.

That is kind of important to me.

Yeah, important until you get what you need and start complaining again. It's a never ending circle regardless of where the content is.

Isn't that what FATEs are for? But then... people don't like those, supposedly.
