Then don’t do it? You guys realize the monthly achievement is entirely optional right? You’re not forced to do it?
Yeah it’s 45000~ karma and 50s, so what. I can’t think of a single reason why you’d need to rely on the karma and silver earned through the monthly. It’s just supposed to be a nice little bonus once a month and that’s all. Key word there being bonus.
Guess what? Playing the game is entirely optional, looking at art is too, listening to music is optional. Entertainment is optional.
So, if every song is terrible, all art is ugly, and no games are fun to play because designers and artists won’t make good ones; we should all just sit down, shut up, and do nothing with our free time?
When something is flawed it needs to be addressed, that is how improvement is made.
The problem with your thinking is that you think are entitled to finish the monthly achievement every month. You are not. It’s a bonus, something above and beyond. If you want it you work for it. Fairly simple concept yet really hard to grasp at the same time.
Nice try using the anti-Obama word of the month, but you should probably know what it means before you attempt to use it. Entitlement is demanding something you have not payed for or earned in any way. I paid for this game with money I spent my time earning. I am not entitled to anything, but I do have full rights to participate in any part of the game without hindrance, not part of it.
Now they are already breaking this stipulation by first adding in a section of the game which is inherently flawed, and they have admitted so publicly on Reddit. But as you said, it’s not a big deal, because I can just avoid it. EXCEPT that they have now required me to play this flawed section of the game in order to participate fully in a completely unrelated section.
Now everybody makes mistakes and I’m, a pretty forgiving person, but when you then limit my ability to enjoy something I have earned by virtue of your mistake, I have a problem with that and I have full rights to express my entirely valid displeasure.
So let me get this straight. You paid for the game (as we all did) so you are automatically entitled to have everything in the game without putting in a little effort to get it? And instead of putting in that little bit of effort you spend your time complaining on the forums because you are lazy? Am I painting the picture correctly here?
“Entitlement is demanding something you have not payed for or earned in any way.”
Point in case. You did not earn the monthly achievement because in fact…you didn’t earn it. Buying the game in no way shape or form means you automatically get handed loot for no reason once a month. lol
I understand the levels of fractals are broken and hugely segregating the in game community but that is beside the point. That’s an entirely separate issue that has nothing to do with the monthly achievement. It could have just as easily been “finish 7 different dungeon paths” and people would still complain. “wah wah I hate dungeons don’t make me do them change it now Anet!!!!”
Look, I get what you’re saying and oridnarily I would agree with you. Hell I’ve even used the same arguments you did when talking about precursors in the crafting section. But what you are asking for in this case just doesn’t make sense because it’s a BONUS as opposed to something the entire end game revolves around.
