Remember when RoP used to be fun? Like dodging SoG and gliding from high places just to reach the next point in your Rites to ascend?
Or when killing epic bosses used be awesome! Teaming up with friends and kicking some major butt?
Seriously, what the hell happened? I'm not pointing fingers at anyone.. but.. everything seems so easy? Doing RoP is so boring now, there's no adventure and excitement to it anymore, there's no holding your breath and hoping a level 90+ mob doesn't 1 hit K.O you into space. I'm not trying to be a downer but honestly some things lack the fun spark it used to have.
Or like, when epics used to spawn in cities, man.. those were the best moments ever! And everyone was so psyched to port there and get in on the action.
I might be just remembering the 'good ol' days' and call me a stickler, but- I really, really miss the old days when everything was just "this" much harder. I feel like everything lost the spark to it, and it's just a game to drown out boredom on a Saturday.
I'm not saying that everyone feels this way and I know a lot of you probably think, "Oh, well. Don't play anymore." It's really come down to the point to where the game is a social aspect of it. A way to connect with people and adventure on the side.
But I really miss the old days of Istaria, where's everything wasn't nerfed to the ground because it was "TO HARD" I mean, that's the point of an MMORPG right? To challenge ourselves with epic bosses and quests with the best rewards at the end. That drive that makes us wan't to achieve something great, something that we can pat each other on the back and say: Good job, you did it.
Anyway I won't ramble to much longer, suppose just feeling a bit of nostalgia.
