Simplicity over complexity, time to change.

[Renik]

I read these letters as well, however did you stop to consider what he deemed difficult and your concept of complexity and difficulty may not align? There is a very small percentage of the player base that has completed 2nd Coil or all the ExPrimals. From a business perspective locking the highest percentage out of your customer base out of even more content is not the wisest use of resources.

Those calling for more extreme content do not even come close to the "other half" of the players out there, while I do like interesting game mechanics I can simply point out that the pros when presented with basically equal rewards will always go for the path of least resistance the majority of the time. Evidenced by how many insta-quits I saw in Pharos, City of Ampador, etc.

when i say "easy content" i'm not exactly talking about difficulty, i'm talking "easy to understand content", the learning process all the new players have to experience to get familiarized with the game, in fact i think they should keep releasing "hard" and "easy" content, i just want to see more complexity on it.

About the easy route, you're right, when a player wants to keep progressing he will take the easy way over the hard one, but when it comes to fun you will do w/e is most interesting, when doing DR i always preferred the easy dungeons, but when i'm playing with a full group of friends i'll always take the old pharos or CoA over any other dungeon, just for fun, so even if a lot of ppl will just ignore this kind of content it is needed, just because it's fun.

Face it, the game won't change unless people quit in lager numbers - while stating on the forums their exact reasons for doing so...

But this is already happening, some ppl is leaving and more will leave, and once they are gone it will be very difficult to get them back. And i'm not only talking about 1.0 and XI veterans, even if someone is satisfied with the game now, it will get boring in the end because of it's repetitiveness and simplicity, every new player that takes the game seriously will become a veteran in the end, or will just grow up and see how this game is too small for them.

The good thing is i'm starting to see changes, but the change is happening too slowly and we are losing players every day.
