ChatGPT rising

Lol, sometimes I wonder. At what point will players stop to think: "are we being taken advantage of?"

Maybe I'm jaded, but this doesn't really surprise me as someone who lives in the US. This is pretty standard practice over here. High prices for mediocre to average food and drink at, say, movie theaters...and festivals/conventions/etc like this one, just because they can get away with it. Even if you pay to get into it in the first place.

Yes, citizen, you hit the nail on the head. The main goal of many companies is to generate a profit, and if they can do that while getting away with putting in the least effort possible then that's just what they'll do. SE is really no different when it comes to this.




The dark times will pass.

You’re now very close to understanding why I posted a thread a few days ago about why I dislike timegate.

It’s farming player sunk cost for subscription revenue rather than having companies rely on making content stand up on their own to generate profit with.

Time gating is an MMO thing that should be expected. It's all about how it's handled that determines whether it's reasonable time gating or not. WoW struggles with this. FF XIV seems to get it.

I mean, I only use ChatGPT to write softcore erotica but more power to you. （*´▽｀*）~♥

I was just saying in the past, they teased these thing during the Rising and it would be nice if they did it again

Noted, but bear in mind with the Fanfests so close, it makes more sense to wait for the team to have those happen instead. If in other cases there ARE no other scheduled events, they do as you have seen in the past.

The context of the machine writing is not in the spirit of the Rising, ignores the Devs, ignores the letter wall.

It’s fine personally if it’s done on cosmetics. But as soon as you make ilvl based on how long your subscription is, it’s worthless as I can see right through it.

I view cosmetics behind such as loyalty rewards. But doing it to power scaling is nope.

I am now picturing two ERPers using ChatGPT to post with each other.

Things like tomes and raid gear are time gated because players can consume content exponentially faster than the devs can create it. The limits are there because the alternative is hardcore players running a hundred dungeons and raids and getting BiS in the first week, and then spending the next 4-8 months complaining that there's nothing to do.
