Fractals are dead. I liked the changes for a few days but then the reality slowly set in for me. It’s just not worth it. Bullet sponge enemies and horrible instabilities make Fractals more tedious than fun. The cost to increase level vs rewards is not there either. Remember when you got 1+gold for doing a frac, plus a reward (chest, ring, skin) but now the gold has been turned into a junk item that is included in the chest, so now you are not even guaranteed a gold for your time AND it makes anything worthwhile dropping even less likely. There should also be a larger amount of experience awarded for completing a fotm. I could do 20 fractals taking upwards of 4 hours and only move my mastery bar up maybe 25%, or I can go farm CoF for 30 minutes and gain a mastery level….this is just unacceptable, and shows clearly that Anet doesn’t care.
I hope that these problems will be fixed, but I highly doubt it, this is Arenanet afterall and obviously they don’t care since none of them have given any input on this thread or any others that display negativity towards their game. As long as you keep funneling money into it, they don’t care if the game is being ruined.
