Ultimates, add-ons, what is the point even?

Unfortunately, this is probably at least partly why we seemingly get ignored over here. lol Too much chaos to sift through.

It's pretty equal regardless. Either you sift through 30 topics being a couple pages each or you sift through one megathread of 300+ pages.

It'll take the same amount of time regardless. If they have good mods I wager they can sift through the smaller topic chains first.

mate some rando on the dps forums went out of their way to compile all the various samurai complaint threads after se specifically asked for feedback into a single megapost with links and shit and that shit has gone completely ignored by the devs. megathreads are just an excuse they use. they'll cherry pick whatever feedback they want regardless

As I said, I feel it only part of the problem.

I've been playing MMO's since The Realm (yes, I'm ancient), and I believe it became all about "epeen" when WoW started up "esports".

lmao, mood. seeing all these other people get world first clears makes things very e-masculating too.

This. People refuse to use megathreads - I'm surprised General Discussions Off Topic thread has stayed relatively relevant for so long ngl.

That's because a handful of us are keeping it alive...FOREVER!

Go do one, then. We'll wait.

I appreciate a thread with a different take on the situation.

On one hand, glam, mounts, titles are the end-game. Having a rare title, mount, etc is a status symbol for many players. It is almost a way of saying "look what I did" without actually saying "look what I did." With that said, I've personally found that the value of world/server firsts don't really matter. Sure, a player will have the title/mount/etc first. But within some period of time, suddenly, everyone has them.

I think I had the server first for crafters at 90. Let's say I actually did - now that title is everywhere. Who cares that I got it first (maybe)? One of the titles I was most proud of was Hand of Creation. I got it back when those expert recipes for Firmament first came out. I wasn't the first, but I can only recall seeing one other player with it for months. I even put the completion date of it in my profile, since I was proud. And I'm still proud of it. However, it doesn't mean a damn thing. As time marches on, the synths become easier and the title is more prevalent than it ever was.

I'm not comparing Hand of Creation to clearing Ultimate (cheating or not). However, the "value" of it for bragging rights will disappear probably within a patch cycle. And if someone did get that title by way of cheating, it is an empty victory. Sure, you beat the system. Yay for them.
