SE enough of the treadmill, please make the game more interesting!

As a rdm, I was never pigeonholed into anything regarding my setup. Iceacc/earthacc, and did not max out convert, and I didn't get any grief over it. Even more so for my DNC.

How did we get here? To where people are so fearful of innovation they want the same stuff for progression day in and day out? The carnival mmorpg never really sat well with me, particularly the gutting the open world where everything is made safe and there's only "one" place, the duty finder, for our post 50 fun. I have waited, given my feedback, and waited some more, and I believe have given this wow clone its due.

If fundamental aspects of the game is some eternal game of catch up to carnival tickets and party ditching jackasses, I do not see myself enjoying it. It is a job, a chore, set to the tune of running shit over and over again. But it is not fun, it is not hidden behind social groups helping out each other. It is plain as day, with the grind of one activity in one place being the only fucking thing that matters, to the detriment of FC and LS assistance.

That is not "fundamental". It is not "fundamental" to have to sit on our hands for the next 6 months, with story locked behind ridiculously hard content to kiss the ego of "no100sol" toadies.

Your first two sentences are backwards. Since the endgame is dungeon dives and raiding, people are "fearful" of innovation since choice is an illusion. You run the most optimized build with BiS or you go home.

The notion of keeping up and staying competitive is actually on the playerbase. Is there some reason you need to have Coil done by Heavensward? Sure, it won't be AS heavily run, and the gear will be outdated, but if you're interested in the mechanics and the story, you'll be able to find people who are willing to run it. There is really no reason to have to stay current with gear or content.
