Hey everyone!

A bit of background about me before I get to the topic -
I started this game around 3+ years ago, at first I had no interest in the raiding content at all. It scared me, but I was still amazed by things like ultimate weapons and savage armor. I fell in love after never really clicking with any mmo, the game had its casual side, but if you wanted to spend tons of time into something, savage + the new ultimates and crafting existed.

They were endgames in themselves. Even tho I was a bit mad about how hard it was to get these gears etc, and complained about the crafting taking long to max, I started working towards it. As a new player that never did those, I wanted it as easily as possible. And I think most people that find themselves not doing things complain, but they in the end never really quit the game because of it, because it aint really anything but a thing to complain about. If you want it, you do it anyways.

I finished maxing crafters, I reached a point after an extremely long time where I was one of the best players at my job. This took time. It took patience. Leves. Crafting was extremely long and time consuming."Thats a bad thing, isnt it? You complained about it at the start."

Yes, because as a new player, I didnt really put any value in anything. I just wanted to have everything everyone else had. If I got it quickly, I would prolly lose interest after a short while and never really build a love for the game, a hardship to accomplish.

Crafting took months and months of leveling, because I needed all of the crafters at max. Raiding and ultimate was an extreme leap, even extremes were a big leap from normal raids. At the end I felt so rewarded, so accomplished, crafting ended up being what I absolutely adored sinking time into, I became one of the most famous crafters on my then server. It was basically a job and endgame I adored and did during all of my freetime. I don't craft anymore. I don't have "omnicrafter, dm for commissions" in my bio anymore. I buy all my pots, all my food, and a part of me was... cut off. I lost an endgame and ended up going over to just raiding after the changes. But I will get to that later.

I've played games since I was a tiny lass, often on the highest difficulty, so I learned to know when things were easy because I was good at it, and when things were easy because... well they were easy. (1/3)
