Gating interesting content behind artificial side leveling

[Ilan]

Stop blaming the playerbase for terrible designed content.

If eureka allows players the leisure of watching youtube/netflix while being "completable", it means eureka is just terrible, that simple. Good designed content will captivate, capture and REQUIRE the full attention of its players. But again, most of you people don't even see eureka for what it is. Instanced map, full of reused assets and mechanics, with FATEs, and a terribly long, unnecessarily convoluted and artificially inflated grind to generate a sense of "progression", that is meaningless to top it, cause most of it rewards will be displaced in value (and value alone, since this game only knows one trick, to rise numbers) by NPCs rewards during mainquests of the next expansion.

I remember good ol mmorpg grinds, months grinding for a reward, but i also know, they lasted relevant a lot, and some even returned years later to be part of new mechanics, new stat weights, new builds and new interesting ways to play a class players didn't thought about before. That was the goal of the grind, a good lasting and interesting reward. Eureka gives you, meaningless numbers that are just higher than before. Good game design right there. /sarcasm.

I've never said that eureka was good i've stated the opposite more than just once. I've said the playerbase is lazy af and that is what most of the playerbase is, everywhere. Stop spreading nonsense.

Oh and congratulations, you've described what a lot of people do in pretty much everything, watching netflix or youtube because someone else will carry their lazy butts. Most content here is not challenging that it requires any attention and if you've seen and if you've run stuff for a certain amount of times it is far from beeing captive, don't try to fool people.

Also a little hint for you: Everything what you do to progress in your gear is just getting "meaningless numbers that are just higher than before" and even your good old mmo grind was just increasing meaningless numbers that get outclassed at one point. Because that is how mmo's work.
