If by current audience you mean having one of the lowest populations of any active MMO I guess you have a point there
I also suspect that half the people who left the game to never look back went away in no small part because they got bored and tired of the endless and oftentimes pointless grind. Those are more numerous that all players that remain
Most people do, I have yet to find anyone who keeps accumulation past lifes once they have them all. So yea it is a grind, people want the benefits of it not just grind em for the sake of it. Except for that guy who posted earlier
I'm all in for more content but not for more grind systems, that's not what I said.
No they dont, they do give purpose tho : to accumulate more power, noting to do with fun. Otherwise people wouldn't be asking for more rewards they wuld just keep grinding lifes and RXP even if they dont give them any more power
You know you can create a new alt without deleting your character, right ?
The last part of that sentence actually reinforces the point I made on my first post. It's all about the addiction to moar power creep, that seems to be the only reason why a lot of peps keep playing. It still surprises me the insane ammount of grind some are willing to endure ( or pay for ) just to get a tiny bit of ingame power that they are most likely to take away at some point in future just to sell it back to you or have you re-grind for it. The fact that some are even asking for it is quite aumsing; but hey, to each their own. Just my 2 cents. That's also why prety much all new content they release is full of bugs and rather low quality, they know that as long as they add enough power for players to chase most people will take the bait regardles of the quality of said content
