Tomes,Savage,iLvl,lore gear, and midcore content. The problem with it.

[Elky]

So to start off let me say, I love logging onto this game, I love my character and I love most of the world and the community. However the actual system of the game is flawed, and here is what I think it is.

There is no actual midcore content once you get your iLvl high, regardless if you do savage, or lore/midan gear. What is midcore content? For me its basically content that does not require the best of the best stats/gear, overly complicated choreography like savage, and does not require a static to complete. It is also content that can not be steam rolled, and memorized, and has rewards outside of raising your artificial ilvl. As it is right now, if you complete savage, then what do you do? If you don't enjoy savage but have a high ilvl from midan and lore tomes, what do you do besides that? Sure you can do stuff you already have in the game, like doing your relic (which is essentially repeat content) do your dailies, level a new character, do gathering and crafting, but your new shiny gear isn't being used at all.

I'm earning all of this new shiny stuff and not putting it to good use. There is no middle ground in the game, you either do the faceroll content or the headbanging on keyboard content. The one thing that could've been good for ilvl is PvP, but its synced to like 150? Why? If everyone could theoretically get their ilvls to 220-230 why sync us? So PvP is out. Diadem tried to be midcore, but it quickly became a diabloresque grind fest, that again, was faceroll. I understand that it may be difficult to make midcore content, but I capped my tomes in 2days, I didn't even play that much. Then I found myself logging on with little motivation to do stuff, sure I got a few lvls on lower jobs, got a few crystals for relic, but it became draining, its stuff I've had to do a hundred times. The more classes you cap to 60, the more tedious the game will get.

Does anybody else feel the same way or am I just crazy? It feels like there is content missing in the game. Something I should be doing when I log on but its not there. I just got my sexy lore staff, I wanna blow something new up with him. It may also be the artifical limits SE imposes on us, like a week long tomes cap, or how many times you can roll on gear in a week. You can basically cap lore, and get your Midan drops in one day. Thats no bueno. And since the game is subscription based, SE isn't losing anything from you not logging on for those next 4-6 days. Problems of a theme park game I guess. I just enjoy the game a lot, but its a weird empty enjoyment lately. I log on expecting something exciting but its not there.

Thing I really enjoy in the game are the Fate bosses in the open world, like Odin, coeurlgina, Ultima, an dbehemoth. Maybe its because I haven't done them much due to how they spawn but theres always something epic about them. 24man raids were cool, specifically CT (which really got me into the game) VA was okay, but not CT status fun. CT also didn't feel as faceroll as VA. Now VA lasts for like 15minutes. It could be added to expert roulette at this point.
