The Formula won't change

[Voidmage]

Incorrect again.

While any company requires money to function (wow, big surprise) if money was their sole motivator Yoshi-P would never say it's acceptable to take breaks.
What SE is doing is not motivated primarily by money, but SE likes to self-impose as your "parent" and tell you how much you can or cannot play so you don't burn out. It's a practice that SE should drop since their player base is spinning around 30 y.o on average.

As for crying that SE held you, hostage, against your will, it's the equivalent of stubbing your toe and then blaming the furniture for being in your way..

Are you… for real?
“Parenting us?”
No they are not. It’s a pure stretching of content. Nothing more.
It’s not even a bad thing but stop pretending it is something else.

I actually had quite a bunch of text here explaining the whole “take a break” thing but other people have already said that enough.

Honestly I give up.
You are either a troll or one of the biggest defenders I have seen here.
Yoshida is a business man and not your friendly father figure.
He wants your money and good PR.
If you truly think he just wants the best for you out of his heart then I just want to say:
Be careful out there in the world.

Give me 1 rational solid reason why you don't unsub and return when the tier is unlocked.

I get it, personal accountability doesn't come easy and it's much easier to blame everyone else instead of taking a hard look at yourself.

I did unsub. It runs out on 11th November and from what I have seen I won’t return before December at the earliest.
I give you even more.
I haven’t bothered in a while with capping my tomestones and often just skip my roulettes.
I go weeks without playing this game.

But just because I do that I can still see the system for what it is and that it is bothering those who want to play.

So what now?

So if you are unsubbed why are you terminally online in this forum? Gotta fill your time with something I guess.

Says the person replying to post after post after having unsubbed.

This is either classic projection, or the unfunny troll is running out of material.

Well, that applies to me and that is 50% of the reason in my case.
the other 50% is that (no exaggeration whatsoever, whatsoever) that I have only within the last couple of weeks unsubbed, and for a long time before that I had only been logging in for the qualities that the game shares with the indentation in the seat of my old office chair:- namely that is was familiar. However, like my old office chair it was becoming rather uncomfortable.
However, having spent so much time in the game I do still find it 'of interest' (even if not the game play), unlike logging into the game, I am enjoying logging in here.
There are also... 'far' more people chatting. And that's a Fact.

...
Oh.. and like my old office chair, looking at people who had left, it had become a source of embarrassment to myself.

Put another way (I am enjoying riffing on this theme) that while I hope the game improves, yes, I am saying that at present the game has all the appeal of a sweaty arse crack. (no doubt there is a mod for the subculture that enjoys that kind of thing, somewhere.)

Lol guys come on now, you can spot trolls a mile away.

[Voidmage]

Because I have nothing better to do while being sick or Stockholm syndrome I guess.
Have a nice day troll.

Dungeon design is great already for content that's meant to be repeated at nauseam. There just isn't enough variety and they're too easy.

The problem is that they're designed as obligatory MSQ gameplay segments first and foremost, and they want the MSQ's difficulty to be tuned for the lowest common denominator. The only optional dungeon is slightly harder, and Yoshida made sure to promise that its difficulty won't be the norm.
