Thread: Frustration regarding Patch 2.2

I never thought I'd feel this way about this game but if this is what the future looks like I doubt I'll be sticking around. I play for fun, not to grind away like it's another job.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out, I'm sure you'll enjoy TSO or Wildstar, until of course it becomes too hard and you aren't instantly rewarded for something.

You shouldn't be able to blow through all the content in a day, you shouldn't be able to obtain the best items in a day, a week, heck even a month. People getting complete atma upgrades the first day the patch out is a bit disappointing to me. The fact that you think having to put any hard work into the game is a "grind" is actually rather comical to me.

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.

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!

This is like complaining that there's 9 new armor sets for DoW and DoM and complaining it'll take forever to get them all.

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.

What annoyed me about the patch was we were promised bigger inventory and armour chest (im gonna find the post from after 2.1 where its mentioned just to make sure) and instead we get to buy (with real money) an extra retainer - thats the only let down for me so far to be honest.
