I am being 100% serious here, ANet. The changes you have made to the bosses not only made them more difficult, but more meaningful. No longer is the Jungle Wurm merely a medium for my server to get our rewards; no, he is an obstacle, a wall, a great challenge that we must band together to overcome. Shadow Behemoth was previously a chain of events; a series of lazily timed countdown timers that zergs participated in as they pleased, finally ending up breaking their 1 key and gaining various repetitive motion disorders as they pressed said key ad nauseum in the final fight. Now, the Behemoth is a force to be reckoned with, requiring coordination on all sides of the map that make our rewards much more worth it. No longer is my helmet merely a result of the idle pressing of one key; it is a fruit of tireless labor, forged from pixelated blood and sweaty palms that, whenever donned upon its owner’s head, reminds me of the times my server and I banded together for each other’s benefits. To the haters, I hope you understand that this was the direction ANet wanted to go. Yes, gear will be slightly harder to obtain. But is that not a good thing? What is gear but a series of pixels arranged on a display? When you look upon your gear, what do you think to yourself? Was it obtained a unmemorable Wednesday night, sitting at your desk as you idly hit a single key, occasionally moving your mouse, faceless players to your side doing no differently? Or was it gained through a struggle, collective breathing of your entire server emanating through your speakers as you watch the boss’ health bar drop at a rate synchronous with the red flashing timer, seconds able to be counted on a single hand when the great beast finally dropped?
And to ANet, keep up your fantastic work. Wherever you may be, I hope this message finds you well. To quote Lil B: “I love you.”
