Thread: The game is more dead than it was pre-3.1

Shouldn't content be fun and engaging? I don't see how something can both be not boring and mindless at the same time.

Mindless <> Boring. Mindless is something that doesn't require a ton of focus. Mindless can be fun. To answer your question about why not having something engaging? Why can we have both options available? There are times when I don't want to do something that requires every ounce of focus I have. Maybe you don't like that, but I sure as hell do.

If I need to look at something else to distract myself and have fun when supposedly I'm playing this game to have fun, might as well play something else since the game is failing to do what it's intended to achieve. This is a weird argument that I see thrown out a lot, "I loved atmas because I watched netflix while I did it". What!??

No, that's not what I said. This isn't about having two things running at the same time. This is about having something low stress/focus as an option. There are times when having the challenge is great. But if that was the entire game experience I'd unsub. Wandering looking for hunts and the like? I can switch into a lower gear.

Pardon the tangent. I don't disagree with the basic premise of your thread, SE screwed up the content in 3.1 and 3.15.
