Subscription deadline is coming up and the question is: will you subscribe?

[Sylve]

The fact that I've managed to get a level 50 already in a mere two weeks after release(early access included), played plenty of end game content thus far, and find myself bored to tears with the everyday grind makes me really wonder if I should sub or not.

• End game content isn't challenging.
• Apparently SE's idea of "Hard mode" is memorizing a pattern.
• The most challenging thing about the HM fights isn't the fight itself, it's the rage quitters who ditch on first wipe
• To call Titan HM extremely hard is like saying Bowser from Super Mario world is extremely hard.
• End game is purely getting a certain set of gear and without it no one will party with you.

Challenging end game content is what keep players like myself who have hit the level cap from growing bored of the game. The game content isn't challenging. PERIOD

First point: There are 19 classes to get to 50. Congrats on finishing the story thus far. Now go level the other 18 classes to 50, Then you can say you have 'level capped'

Second point, the list: As someone else already said, go clear Coil then if this is so easy.
So SE's idea of Hard Mode is the same as...... Every other MMO in the universe then, ok.
So stop playing PuGs and form your own group. With the Invite feature. It still exists you know, the Duty Finder didn't delete that.
If Titan HM is as easy as Bowser is, why are you complaining about him? Surely your DF PuGs can clear something as easy Bowser ... right?
Once again ... Every MMO in the universe uses a gear level based progression system. You find me an MMO that lets its players beat raids naked with pure skill.

You are not the only person playing or even paying for this game.

I'm still debating on if i'll sub or not. I hate the GCD, I hate not having any pvp, I hate all the child like restrictions (No chatting in dungeons), and I hate how easy it is. I know they're going to add pvp in the next patch but I can't imagine it being to good with how clunky the combat system is.

But there are some things I do like.. so meh.

Paid for 30 days, because I'm on a very fixed income, not having a job and all. If I had the money, I'd be a shareholder in SE.

The game is great, and I'll keep my opinion about the OP to myself.

I'll subscribe because it is such a tiny cost.

[Vix_Spellweaver]

Stopped reading when you said that patterns is something totally new to MMOs.

I stopped reading, then saw Piccolo. Smiled...then stopped reading....

subed for 4 months. Why? Because thats the game ive been waiting since 2004/2005.

[Chrysania]

As it is? Oh hell no. I'm giving them until the end of my free 30 to sell me, and I thought they might well have initially. The 1-35ish game is great. I enjoyed myself.

Then I ran out of quests, for the most part, and had to rely more and more heavily on fate grinding to fill in gaps, and from 47-49, almost exclusively rely on it to level at all. BIG NONO. My happiness was at 100 until that. Then it dropped to about 30. Ye Same Olde Gear Treadmill Shite at endgame? Happiness went to -30.

So, nope. Prolly not. Not unless they amaze the hell out of me in big ways with 2.1.

Though I probably will check back in in 6-12 months. Its not a horrible game...until you run out of game long before you run out of crappy grind. I can get this crappy grind, literally, anywhere. ANYWHERE.

I'll get it where I can avoid it. WoW's still the king of the raidy-gear-grindy-treadmill games. Secret World's amazing until its own gear-treadmill endgame, wherewith it becomes utterly forgettable. SWTOR's been upping its game lately, and in some remarkably impressive ways.

Think I'll play me some SWTOR again, if ARR can't manage to get this sorted sooner than later.

i subbed for 180. i hardly get that kind of value for long term play currently on the market. (Games cost 120 where I'm living.. and 50 for 180days lol)

[Betelgeuzah]

I find these soap box threads where people with a huge agenda try to sound like there is a huge issue in paying 12 euros quite amusing.

I'm sorry, let me rephrase. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!
