    I stopped playing about 3 months ago and at time I thought that it would be for good... luckily for SE the state of MMORPG market is so sad that I am gonna buy Stromblood for the new jobs, but that\\'s about it. I don\\'t expect the game to change from the chore system to something more entertaining.

    Atm. just paying my housing tax. Maybe I could log in... but the knowledge I am not gonna catch up till the expansion anyways and even if I do it\\'s gonna be rest time right away... it kills my will to log in atm.
    What your referring to is not a question of accessibility though.

    You're referring to progression and rewards more directly. And yeah once your behind on them you can't really catch up till the next patch and yes that kind of sucks.

    But falling behind on ilivl or gear does not in any way make content inaccessible. Even if your 30 I levels behind the top you can still access almost everything.

    I could not have acquired a single tome tome of scripture or single piece of 260 gear since 3.4 launched and I would still be able to access and clear virtually every piece of content this game has despite being a long way behind on rewards. Even on jobs that are still rocking lore gear or yaefem. That is what accessibility is.

    You cannot say this game is not accessible enough when it's so easy to unlock and clear virtually every piece of content the game has to offer. you can face roll you're way through even if you are 30 Ilevels behind.

    even savage raiding. buy 250 gear on the markets and jump into raid finder. you cannot really get more a more accessible design than that..

    the problem with this game is it focusses to much on accessibility of content and not enough on quality of content. the quality of content is getting worse and worse and that again is why the subcount is as low as it is....

    it's all very well trying to rope in new players all the time but the current player base numbers would suggest that all these new players clearly aren't sticking around very long. and that's because the game isn't satisfying or rewarding. accessiblilty has killed so much in this game
