Simplicity over complexity, time to change.

[skaterger]

After the debacle that is hunts, where SE can somehow mistake dangerous open world content = hunts, I worry about how they will "cater" to their playerbase next. That being said, I can't really say no to more complex gear, combat and stat system. I am also in favor of less scripted fights and more challenging encounters overall which forces the player to think and react rather than to memorize. The only thing I do not want to see is excessive horizontal progression. I think the horizontal progession we have at the moment is just fine, sands and oils as an alternative to high allagan gear and customizable novus are all good examples of this.

I just wish that SE realizes that the forums make up a small part of the playerbase, and posts like these while constructive, do not represent the views of the community as a whole. I hope that before they implement any major changes that they will do a player poll like they did before 2.0 released. I remember one of the questions polled to the playerbase was if they would like instanced or non instanced content. It would be interesting to see if the opinions of the players changed one year after the game is released.

Personally, I am pretty satisfied with the game and would prefer to see 3.0 closer to 2.0 than 1.0 or 1.23.

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.

And you lost all credibility with this.
