![]() We see this a lot in trinity based games. How would any of that level grinding, develop their skill in using those others specs? What if somebody played one spec while leveling, and switched to a new spec once at max level thats totally different. The main argument I see for why "SLOW" leveling is needed, is because it makes people learn their class. This thread discussion about this huge AAA MMO got me really riled up to make this thread. When you sorta step outside your own head, and stop coloring things in broad-strokes based entirely on the way you see them, you'll realize there's nothing to "prove you wrong" about. It makes them someone with a different set of preferences and views than you, and that's okay. No, that doesn't make them some kind of weirdo. Some people actually enjoy spending hours leveling. A way to chill out, chat with in-game friends while doing something they consider enjoyable. I've known plenty of people who actually enjoy leveling up. I like to take my time, explore, do and see all the game offers (or as much of it as possible anyway) and not feel like I'm being pushed along by some invisible hands that want me hurrying up to some end-game that I'm not in any hurry to get to. I hate it when I feel like I'm being rushed through the game. And the "best loot" isn't their prime motivator.Įverything seems too slow when you're in a hurry to get it done.įor myself, I prefer games to be longer. They don't "need" to get to level cap and end game "ASAP". For yet others, they prefer the process to be longer. So, having to level up becomes an obstacle to that for you, and so you view it as a bad thing.įor others it's just fine. You only feel that levels "lock away players from content" because the only thing you're interested in and focused on is finishing that content, and acquiring that loot - as soon as possible. They're playing because, in their mind, "It's all about the end-game, man. They aren't playing for the social elements, or all the other activities they can participate in (which they often argue are "pointless things that just slow you down"). It's all about the reward to them, and the "journey" is just getting in their way. So why are they doing it?īecause they're only playing for the payoff that comes at the end of all that. And in all cases, they're not particularly fond of the activity. The people who complain about other MMOs being nothing but quest-grinds are the ones who spend almost all their time doing nothing but questing. The people who complain about "leveling being an annoying grind" are the ones who spend almost all their time doing nothing but leveling. Whether we're talking about levels, crafting, questing, or any other activity you can do repeatedly over a long period of time, it can feel like a grind - if you treat it like one. So, to open up this "challenge" to everyone else to prove your opinions of something wrong is pointless from the get-go. These are your opinions (the bit I quoted, and the rest of your post). Originally posted by MMOExposed eart grind.Īll they do is lock away players from content.įirst of all, there is no "proving you wrong". How else would you do anything, everything given to you with no effort and you live out a second virtual life? Again, you'll get division in those who would like this and those who won't, specifying what each individual would 'like' to see in said game. Some like the quest hubs, some like a sense of story being the driving force for your journey. ![]() Some like grinds like FFXI or old EQ where you get a group and grind out mobs for hours (maybe a small % nowadays but still there). ![]() It's all subjective to what you find enjoyable and what you do not and most find what they dislike long and boring. 'Time flies when you're having fun' ring a bell? However, if you are enjoying your time doing whatever it is you are doing in then it is not a grind nor a time sink.Įinstein proved it with the theory of relativity and like it not, it also applies here. are all timesinks/grinds, they are not reserved only to themeparks. What is grind to you? To me? To John Doe over there? There is no solution to your querry because there is no single answer. ![]()
