so it's funny how the thread gets back on topic then shifts back to QQ. if we dropped it, why can't you?
i'd be more than happy to go word-for-word with you about it (and soundly defeat you), but it's moot. and yet you kids keep trying to get the last word on a subject that's already passed. so tell me again who needs to grow up.
now, that said-

and it is an absolute godsend for both the repairer and repairee, imo. there are obviously still things in the game that could use some work/changes/tweaks, but i'm consistently impressed with what yoshi's doing with things... especially considering he's developing an entirely new game on the side.
oh, and p.s.!
rrrrrofl
uh, did you play FFXI? while they had stuff for all level ranges, for the better part of 8 years that game revolved almost entirely around endgame. and FFXI endgame was for world-spawn mobs you had to compete for claim over.
FFXI was an *intensely* competitive MMO experience in the PVE area (but lacking 'real' PVP). this game, by comparison, is absolutely care bear. everyone gets their own little instance and tries to act like because of this their actions have no impact on others and others' actions have no impact on them in turn. people running around willfully deaf dumb and blind.
then you come to the forums and spout this nonsense about not needing competition in an MMO? speak for yourself. not everyone uses these games as pretty chatrooms.
and protip: the devs don't exactly design these games with the "i want a pretty chatroom devoid of competition" type primarily in mind, either. i could just as easily use WoW as an example of why this or any other game doesn't need people like you.
however, i've been pretty candid about how the game needs players of all demographics, and needs to keep them happy, if it aims to succeed. but this doesn't mean that your demographic needs to ruin the game for mine, especially considering there is more pretty-chatroom-type content than challenging and competitive stuff.
and, again- no one from this LS has ever tried to take something away from players who don't like competition or challenge. we've never said all quests should be heroic difficulty, all crafting and gathering should cost billions of gil to fund and/or be nearly impossible to grind. we've never said class quests should take entire alliances hours to complete. we've never said petty level 30 NMs should be 8 hour spawns and/or be nearly impossible to kill solo. so why do your type keep trying to ruin our gameplay experience by insisting there be NO competition? by insisting there be NO challenge? by insisting we have NO place in this game? and LOL to that, anyway. hardcore players are what keep franchises alive. not the casuals that log in every few days or weeks to do the new seasonal quests, chat, then log out.
stop being self-centered, stop thinking the game needs to primarily cater to you and your type, and you and your type alone. BG members have never said everyone in the game needs to care about the things we care about and like the things we like. we also have our own individual opinions outside of the collective. we're just sharing our perceptions of things- DA is no exception. nowhere did he say you needed to hold the same values as he.
so, you want to talk about getting defensive?
l2reading comprehension. stop finding excuses to take offense to the tiniest little things which upset your delicate gaming experience. or simply don't read our posts. for the most part, we generally have absolutely no problem completely ignoring yours!
your baseless sense of entitlement is both baffling and revolting.
(yes, i realize i just contradicted myself by responding, but by all means- have the last word about it)
