Lol - some of the complaining in this thread makes me look like I'm an EA/CG cheerleader, shill, fanboi, etc.
Sure the guild chat thing is a little annoying, but hardly a major issue. Raised cap = new gear (and new grinding) - but what exactly was everyone expecting? And there will be new levels to get it. New challenges too - which is great! More ways to earn this new gear. And the new raid hasn't even dropped yet - there will probably also be new gear there as well.
For those of you complaining that the new challenges and levels and nodes won't be "unlocked for weeks" - congrats! You have new goals in the game.
I mean seriously - people are upset that they aren't "done" or didn't "win" yet? That now they have to continue playing the game? :D
Balances, bug fixes and more stuff to strive for. Yep, that's stuff to be up-in-arms about.
You're sticking up for the gear grind?!!
Wow... You used to have some logical opinions. This is why I mostly ignore the forums now. And... back to ignore.
Lol - not "sticking up for it" per se. Just realizing that when they raise the cap, and more gear is introduced, there is going to be certain amount of gear grind. Did you expect them to raise the cap and have all the new gear slots be fillable with Mk 1 Stun Guns?
Honestly, people being "surprised" about more gear grind is similar to people being surprised that the new challenges/levels are going to be harder or that the Credit Heist was adjusted to account for mods.
Literally just pulled this back up because I got to thinking what I said was a little harsh. I really don't pay much much attn. any more, but when I did, your "voice" was one of the few I didn't mind reading.
So... what I expected... I thought the, ridiculous grind, gold gear would be end game level. i.e. 100 (or wherever we end up). I've considered my quit date to be when the gear grind was increased & was surprised to see that now at 85 so I'm struggling with whether to keep going. More difficult challenge levels / credit heist... not the same thing. Of course they'll be harder (and should be - who would want it any other way?).
The better introspective question would be why do we have an emotional attachment to this aggravating game?
For me, that one is easy. Star Wars.
Although my guild is also a large reason now as well. I do hear you and the frustration over the grind, but for me, after living through the last two increases, I guess I just expected it. It's part of the game. Maybe that makes me jaded or used to it - but it just didn't bother me much.
