DARKLIGHT GEARS ; ;

well i'll save my judgments for 2.0's content at the E3 release this year. I completely understand that we wont get anything until 2.0 and I accepted that last year. I'm basically just reiterating (mostly to myself and maybe for people who don't understand yet) what SE needs to be doing for 2.0

I think one of the nicest things about this process - which can be likened to pooping out a potato - is that the Devs seem to be listening. At first this was awful because we had the whole "this isn't WoW/this isn't XI" wars but that seems to have died down and lately the "true" playerbase is whats left. I have a lot of confidence in what they are working on but, then again, I probably wouldn't switch anyway - I'm a one-game type of person and it reeeeeally has to suck to get me to quit. With promises on the horizon it's enough to keep me around.

Now, if that sucks then I think I'll just go back to playing chess...

There is no reason that SE can't make a load of content that is engaging, challenging and randomized/scaled to certain setups/# of players/situations, while also having a reasonable way to obtain gear. There just is no excuse at this point in the mmo genre.

I would say rebuilding a game from, essentially, the ground up would be a pretty significant reason. Once 2.0 hits you're right, they won't have a reason anymore. However up until now they've been putting out some pretty ridiculous fixes and changes to the core systems of the game. That means that they don't have as many people working on content as they could as they're split between 1.X fixes, 1.X content and 2.0. I get what you're saying but you also have to understand the context under which these patches are created.

our general 'core' of members feels the same way about it too. SWTOR came and went. Tera came and went. GW2 will come and go (but I will be playing it alongside XIV BECAUSEIFKINLOVEITFBNJIEBFNJEBNOFE) but we all are steadfast into this game for the most part. We just REALLY hope it blows our minds this Fall.

Well, it's a safe bet that it will blow in some way or another - it's just the question of whether or not it will be our minds and expectations! ^^

I do think (hope?) that the entire team will be able to just go super hard at 2.0 content once 1.23 is in the QA phase....
thats like end of summer...

I wonder why some are in such a hurry sometimes. The patch had just been out, we can re-enter dungeon in a few minutes, we can spend all day doing runs if we wanted, and yet you want higher drop rates? Heck, I even saw the term "junk" already for some pieces that I consider precious.
Do you really want to have full sets in 2-3 weeks time? And then what? Stop playing and come back at next patch like most already do, and flame SE for low content? In another thread there's people also complaining about them spiked armguards, asking to remove crappy drops. What is wrong with you guys?
Are you lot maybe of the spoiled I-Phone generation that flames their parents cause at their 13th birthday they got a white I-Phone 4 S instead of a black one?
I'm sorry but I like to work for my rewards, and feel "special" when I get them, not just one of the lot that finally gets it.

What a fabulous idea to balance MMO content around.
