Went back to D2R

i went back to ff x.

Naw.

Being confronted with something totally new, having to learn how to play, to explore and to experiment, to peel back the layers to learn more and more about the game, that's part of the fun.

Imagine getting good at a game within hours of playing. You would be so bored and would need to spend almost hundreds of dollars on new games every month.

unfortunately, players don't like that nowadays. they want instant gratification. they don't wanna learn shit

they'd rather use mommy's debit card for $500 items instead of doing 500 baal runs

Problem with this game is, it's super fucking easy and then it doesn't get hard, it just gets super anoyying. Like trying not to get 1 shot or killed by by a random mob. There isn't much skill.

don't play poe then, its the same. They don't know how to add difficulty so they default to annoyances. Its a dev issue that won't get solved until they realize slowing players down with tedium doesn't make them play longer. Its shocking but players play longest when they are having fun.

Pvp is the thing to do after the grind

Sigh....

Honestly though, wouldn’t it be a whole lot easier spending $5 on an enigma than grinding for weeks (or maybe hours if you blow RnG jesus) just to play efficiently?

You probably wouldn't feel like you've earned it. It would be too easy, which makes it less fun. Of course, grinding for weeks doesn't sound fun, either. I think there is a balance.
