i had a little fun for some heroic dungeon back in BC. then came WOTLK and it became boring after 1 week. mythic appeared in wod, but were fast enough, during wod, finally just another thing to do to get reward, without being interesting
having 10 different boring things is not better than chaos dungeon + igrexion in the end (and i have 6 more guardian incoming over igrexion. with time, one after other, i like guardian figts)
The illusion of variety doesn’t affect me anymore …
you know, that’s exactly what they want. less players playing all the time is lower concurrent player average, lowers the chance of servers freaking out, lowers maintenance cost. but you’re still playing regularly, so higher active user count, and while you’re still actively playing there’s a chance that you might spend some money on the game. can’t get much better from the dev’s stand point
people did applause yoshida for saying “do a break, touch grass” … but it was the good deal.
long break (more than 45 days = chance to get a house getting released so less problem about housing
most of time, people are autmoatic subscription pay, so income is there
cash shop is growing everytwo weeks ? no problem they will maybe buy when comeback.
But yes, from publisher pov small game time but regular is the best customer.
this is also why i will always and forever complain about cash shop in subscription mmorpg “just cosmetic” yes, but it doesnt force the dev to aim for the highest player retention… (to have as many sub as possible to get more money) Because even people who stop their sub, they can buy aaaaaall what was added in cash shop while not there… so not a real problem to have one dude leave for 2, 3, 6 month or even a year… only sub lost, not CS lost
when i think about korean mmo i think about no life game, which is not at all
legion was so nice 
then try some F2p kr mmo and let see if you will be able to do content anytime you want.
a really good expansion. yes, legion was a really good one, 2nd for me after BC.
But it continued with the boring daily routine that was initiated with BC (the only red flag for me for BC) doing each day my routine, each week the weekly capped content (all lfr/raid in normal/heroic to farm as much power as possible, again and again) … and being withtout guild/roster, did have curves in 1 month (6 week for the tomb one) and then… just… routine until bored to death.
its what i did, i play lost ark.
In BDO you can farm forever if you want.
except the farm of the legendary weapon XP.
But the legendary weapons was so fun, for all the classes, when we have lost the weapon, the game did come back boring.
it is what i showed you can do in LA
you can farm 7-8h a day. don’t worry
and later a 14h will be able, i speak about efficient farm.
like in BDO, you can farm 12h a day, killing ahib again and again… pack after pack, again and again, for hours and hours…
what difference between killing ahib for hours
or doing 24time igrexion + 24time chaos dungeon each day ? nothing…
Yeah so do the content available for your alts lmao
you want to play only one class ? (i feel this kind of answer could come… “why should i have to play blade if i only want to play zerk”)
having multiple time the same character is not totally dumb… because abyssal gives jewelry with one of engraving being a class engraving…
doing a same abyss with 24 zerk = 24x more jewelry with zerk engravings => easier to get you needed one. And you will play only zerk !
Personally like variety, so all my character will be different.
No i play 6 alt, but i prefer my main class you see, its what i want to play the most.
so do 6x main class as my last post pointed out ?
No all my alt is a different class. But i play them only with rest xp, and still doing the same content all the time is a bit boring.
I’m sorry to say it out loud but you don’t like the game. You like the combat… The combat is not the game.
Game has always been open about playing multiple characters, you jumped in to play one character, then complain. I mean, you are allowed to, but its not going to achieve anything.
No point responding to someone who is already a known troll.
Time gating allows players who cant play all day an equal opportunity in progression.
Its to create not too much of a gap between hardcore and casual players.
Sorry you only care about yourself.
lost ark is all about the combat, and design of the class, they don’t show you promotional spot when people gather mokoko, they show you combat.
Yeah…
Any food promotional also diplay pixel perfect made food, then u go in, order some and its looks are nowhere close. Not even the quantity of ingredients may be the same.
Any movie will show you the stuff that will hook you in in the promotional… You know, so you actually go to see the movie.
Its on you to know what you are going to watch / eat / play beforehand if there is available information, otherwise your complaints lose value.
and i saw when his begining, on FFXIV forum… makes me old T_T
but also, he is honest, i can guarantee that, i saw harmonium from mmorpg to mmorpg, and he is quite consistent about subject he complains or is happy about.
