I didn't find that it hurt me that much, I made tens of millions gathering walnut and yew logs a year and a half after launch. At least my shit was worth something.
The main problem right now is supply is way higher than demand. With crafting being so easy to level now this just makes the problem worse. I can't think of a good way to solve that without either limiting how much you can gather or making shit harder to level, and no one wants either of those so I guess we're stuck with gathering materials being worthless.
Now I have a complaint which is unrelated to the above. Why is there no scrollbar on the chat log?
There is on the left of mine...?
Anyway, I'll agree low/mid-tier mats are flooded because of the grind. but even if you changed crafting to be harder to level, instead of thousands of a certain mat being on the market, we instead have lots of gear nobody could/would use. Quest rewards even contribute to this issue. But since we have a crafting library established for the moment, all we can really hope for is new stuff to suck things up.
But my immersion / arbitrary epeen points.
Had Titan down to 1% before the tank turned him against the party during a Mountain Buster. Sad day.
I happened to notice that you are on Lamia. When a few of my Lamia buddies log on today I'll see if I can rustle you up some help, if you need it.
Sounds awesome - I was in a "static" Titan run last night and we had to pug a tank because my other tank was out getting wasted thinking maintenance was last night lol.
People who form/join CM "speed runs" that have no idea what they're doing.
People complaining about shouts for "relic only" CM/Prae SRs can go right to hell, I'm way too fucking tired of philo farming to have to deal with bullshit like people attacking slept mobs and aggroing shit all over the place.
I've yet to have a shitty relic-only group.
90% of the time they're mostly from the same LS/FC and just filling in a few gaps.
/airquote Speed Runs
How the fuck did people burn through all of this shit within the first week? I just wanna run endgame content, but I can't even get through five of these at a time because they're so goddamn boring (I'm sure the story and writing is good, I just don't give a fuck about it any longer).
So I'm not missing out on anything? Superb.
I still have no idea what this game is about. Summary of what I know: I killed some shitty primals, saved the big titty hume in the ridiculous outfit, and shit on Ultima Weapon. Now I just kill some random snake boss, a floating ball, and lots of trash mobs in some dungeon called Coil every week.
We all know why Minfillia is our favorite.
