Guild Wars 2

… and very little of it is exciting? Or even, that because we have so much of it it makes us numb to it?

• so many currencies
• so much particle effects
• so many (bad looking) huge weapons
• so much trash gear
• so many useless traits
• so many sigils and runes
• so many intermediate crafting items
• so many shallow content updates
• so much marketing hype (for average-ish things)
• so much rng
• so much cash shop push
• so many soul/account-bound things

i feel it’s like spreading cake batter so it’s paper thin and then handing out tiny portions

Yes, for the most part. The time-gating account bound once per day thing also aggravates the problem.

No! And I want more stuff! Free will be better.

I only agree with one thing on your list and that is particle effects there is still far too much of it, Need a slider.

The currencies are necessary to allow people to play the game how they want. It everything rewarded gold only, then the path of least resistance we become too obvious and everyone would feel obligated to do it.

When you obfuscate the true value of things by using different currencies it is easier for people to feel that they are being relatively well rewarded for playing the portion of the game that they enjoy.
