^^i definitely feel that poor DE implementation and lack of reasons to spend time in starting zones are more of a problem than this new fractals dungeon and the new gear.
the game is still pretty much unbalanced, but i expect that in the next months sPvP will be the main focus, i can’t wait for for solo/team ladders and huge organized tournaments with great rewards
i’m not a grinder, i’m just a casual gamer, didn’t even had enough time to go to level 80. i also find the game a lot of fun.
The main reason many people play high-end PvE is grind, …
fixed
but i hold my point i made earlier, this was not the only thing in their manifesto, they haven’t broken their promise in this weekend, but rather on release date imo. so why all the fuss NOW?
i entirely agree with you, even last week the game was not the one promised by the devs/PR team, DE are not as game changing as promised, personal story not much of a roleplay, etc, etc.
I totally agree with people saying that A-NET didn’t entirely followed their initial manifesto, but i want to say that the main reason they did this is because their ideal model was not meant to last in time.
The only reason people play high-end PvE is grind, when you can easily get what you want there is no point to continue playing. I always thought that this game will be focused on PvP, because i don’t see a lot of players repeating DE or even dungeons all over again just for fun. There always have to be an objective to reach.
This change of thoughts is pretty much irrelevant because there is no major advantage for grinders in WvWvW, where zerging is much more important then high stats gear and no advantage at all in sPvP.
I think that this is the only way to attract grinders (and they are a lot out there) and i don’t see why you complain that much about this change. There is enough room for everyone, casual PvErs will get enough fun exploring, doing personal story or dynamic events, hardcore PvErs will get enough challenge in dungeon run, hardcore PvPrs will continue doing tournaments. There’s enough room for everyone, and A-NET had to attract this kind of people for the sake of lifespan.
