MMOs today are crap, not because people are tired of good games or good online games. Its because its no longer just making a good game and trying to market it. Its just marketing now. Producers make a game and pay sites like this who JACK UP the r…
Some form of steady progression is fine, as long as its not a huge dps leap like WOW likes to do and the formula for that progression is based on players not raid bosses. The scaling is wrong which is why you have tier gear that can one shot people …
