I’m so insulted by the sheer stupidity of some parts of this game that I really don’t care any more.
It’s a game. Who gives a kitten if you can buy your way through leveling? Obviously if you have the coin you’ve done your time.
Long bows obstructed by rocks the size of your foot. Deleveling so that you have exactly the same level of power at 80 as at 2. Jump puzzles with a kitten up camera so you get vertigo just trying to find the next spot. Usesless pets. “Renown hearts” which are just WoW quests without exact numbers. Zerg rushes in wvw that cost you money for dieing and have kitteny random loot “bags” that sometimes drop, and you can pick up if you notice and if you have time. Player skill amounts to double tap to dodge. Boons that last seconds rather than minutes because skill in using truly powerful skills overwhelms both designers and the game. And on and on and on.
I wanted to love this game. I could love this game. But I don’t.
There is no reward for the time spent.
I get xp. So what? I’m no more powerful than I was, regardless of where I go. If that’s the design, why have xp and power at all? All “leveling” does is open new areas where the mobs are insanely powerful if you go in too soon, but you are average AT BEST no matter how much later you go. Then when you conquer and area, you are overpowered compared to any single mob, but never anything more.
There is no point to loot. there is no point to leveling. There is no point to crafting. There is no point to grouping. there is no point to guilds. There is no point to exploring. There is no point.
What’s the purpose of this game?
so get the hell out of this game, it doesn’t need idiots like you
