We keep hearing on the boards that leave things alone, live and let live, if "they" want to do "that" so what as long as it does not hurt me I'm ok with "it".
Should we live and let live?
Let me ask this question...
If in the long run, we never adjust things to improve them, how many of your friends will still be here playing with you? By allowing things to go unchanged they won't get better. And in the end we all lose.
Challenge, purpose, and meaning all play a part of why we play any game. Making mobs harder certainly give us all challenges. When the game was released we had purpose, but now lack it since all major events like the mines, machines, recalling the dryads, have been completed. The only meaning we have left is reaching unfinished goals, or helping new players learn the ropes.
Things MUST change, else we are left with bored players looking for a new place to chase the elusive purpose. Change brings pain to those unwilling to embrace the new, but joy to those that can appreciate the taste of freshness. It's been said that those that resist change are selfish. Really can't it be viewed as self-destructive? Refreshing, new purpose and challenge can renew our spirits, but letting it remain un-improved will kill us all.
So, let's keep exploring what adjustments can help refresh us, and put away wondering how this might affect us only. Look to how it affects ALL players. Keep it respectful of the needs of others, realize that "letting live" may very well harm more than help. But also realize that too much of anything is bad, and it's the little things that often make the most difference.
