Thread: Frustration regarding Patch 2.2

It heartily saddens me that software companies have managed to convince the mouth-breathing masses that their laziness in releasing tiny amounts of content at a glacial pace is okay as long as it's wrapped up in some tedious grind restricted by daily/weekly lockouts.

Have fun not enjoying the game they built, I am. Maybe you should try something different. ESO and Wildstar are coming out. See ya!

Get some new material fella. The simplistic, "Herp-a-derp go play WoW lulz!" response was already old when you first started to notice the hair growing in your no-no place.

No form of media exists that can be made faster than it will be consumed.

This is where I'm at too. I'm not surprised though. It was only a matter of time before they added long-term goals to all classes. But I was still secretly hoping this was the game where I could keep my account active and use it as filler with short-term accomplishments. It certainly worked out that way (to my pleasure) for the first six months.

I'm still going to try out the patch just to see if the comments in here are all- encompassing, but if all the new stuff turns out to be weeks of work for one upgrade . . . yeah . . . not anymore. Time and dedication are just better spent on other things. The days where I was willing to do that for an MMO are long gone.

And to think I logged on today saying "Hm lets see what the forum is whining about today." you did not disappoint me.

Holy cow is this thread serious? Are you seriously whining because you have to work for something? The moment you looked at how "tough" something was it appears you moved on and just gave up on it. This game isn't going to be handed to you on a silver platter. No MMO does this. What do people honestly expect?

First reply ends this thread. GOD FORBID YOU HAVE TO WORK FOR SOMETHING YOU WANT!

Good luck buddy, you're going to need it.

Did everyone forget that the old Philosophy Tome materials drop from the new dungeons? And they seem to all drop 8 at a time. There's no reason anybody should be spending close to 800,000 seals on these things. Just wait until the prices for these things bottom out on the Market Board.

^^^^

Also, non-crafters have seals...hmmm. I wonder if there is a way...for them to use those seals...to sell items...to crafters. Welp, we'll never know!

Also: Shush. I bet 90% of the stuff you are complaining about will be solved and short-cutted by people with more fortitude and work ethic than you. Don't worry, the devs might have intended for you to have to work for this stuff, but the same people that figured out how to do stuff the easy way before will be able to teach you how to short-cut it again.

In addition: There is A LOT of stuff that was pretty freakin' instant to get. I fully glamoured my PLD in like, 4 minutes with my 50 ARM and my FC mates 50 BSM. I did all 3 HMs after the lolQuests to get them. The stuff I want really bad (tank mount, Coil9, etc) is going to take work, just the the stuff you really want (Crafting end-game) is going to require you to get to the end-game of crafting to be able to obtain it.

This patch was vertical progression, you need to ladder your skills and equipment up to obtain it. Instead of killing demons, you need to knit socks.
