Instead everythin, which is very little is spoon fed through a couple of the campaigns. Too linear. 0 progression after 20. And the worst is trial and dungeons are MISERABLE. The worst artificial difficulty i've ever seen. Hidden mechanics that wipe you after an hour in the dungeon, every boss blows you off some edge magical and if their attacks have tells, they're usually meshed under the ground so they are hard or impossible to see. And if you manage to beat a que besides aa skirmish, you'll probably be rewarded with an item lvl 550 glove for some other class and some useless currency.

@@Aragon- But how many AD so far? I know a lot of things cannot be bought on Zen Market, and a lot of good gear drops are BtA or BtC, so cannot be bought on AH. But you were keeping a running total of how many AD it was costing. Sorry, I listened to the video, so I didn't see if you showed it on-screen. I'll watch it now. I see at the start of this you have 8,200,400 AD to get 50,159 TIL and all content unlocked. 24,000 + 3,600 Bonus Zen = 27,600 Zen for £159.99 27,600 Zen x 750 AD = 20,700,000 AD (if one is dumb enough to directly convert). So 8,200,400/20,700,000 = 0.396 0.396 x £159,99 = £63.38 So, £63.38 to get to "End-Game Ready", rather than an End-Game BIS character? That doesn't seem right. WAY cheaper than I thought! People have been telling me it costs about $3 to 6000.00! {:o:O:} But I always buy account-wide Mythic Mounts, so they are 3 to 5 million AD each, so that's 30 to 50 million AD right there for ten. Possibly more. That would be between £231 and £386 just for the ten Mythic mounts. And you did it differently, starting with Epic or Legendary mounts from the AH as F2P. This just shows what a great service you provide to players. They can save a fortune if they are prepared to L2P and grind. Of course, if you DO spend cash on Zen, do it during a Charge Promo and buy the larger amount, and then KEEP it for something worth getting. My 5000 Zen order came on Feb 17, 2022. That took 286 days, or more than 9.5 months. Ironically, I did not log in after 15th until March 6th, as I did not install Win 10 until then. So I lost 21 VIP keys, 2.1 million AD, 714 Celestial Coins and 1428 Ardent Coins. And 65 Celestial Coffers! {:-:-:}

There needs to be SOMETHING in the game that END end gamers need to work toward. In recent years there has been a shift in how players view being end game. We all want to get there as quick as possible, and get the new BiS easily when it comes out. Mastercrafting used to be the "Cherry on the top" that endgamers could grind out over months or years to finally achieve. Now you buy it for less than the price of a horse. It's the same with Guild Boons... you used to struggle with your guild to build the stronghold and get to the levels where Boons became available. Months and Months of working together to get it. Now it's a matter of going to Protectors and typing, "lf gld w all boons". When you work hard for something over time it means more. I think we've collectively forgotten how MMOs work, and being constantly told that you NEED all this stuff makes players resent not being able to get it easily. Collars are that last "aspirational" item in the game. Like Aragon says, they don't provide HUGE benefits to either build or IL, so they remain that one last thing that those who have achieved everything else have left to actually WORK toward.

There are ways to get there faster. Personally, I've never really chased that goal of "Mega High IL," I've got 12 characters all between 60 and 70K, with my main at about 73. I've been playing since Mod 3... and spent less than $100 in all that time (probably closer to about 60...) My Guild is Rank 12, and I've never even seen a Mythic Collar... (Most of my characters still have epic insignia, and my main only has legendary...) None of that has ever stopped me outperforming characters with far higher ILs on a regular basis, simply by not only picking stuff that works properly together for my build, but also understanding how it works... Also, doing plenty of basic dungeon queues can make you a shit tonne of AD. Those skeleton keys are cheap and the chests will occasionally throw out a companion or mount you can sell for loads of AD. Base collars drop quite regularly from even skirmishes (Master of The Hunt is pretty good for them...) and you can flog them for a decent score. Plus with the evil that is "scaling" those basic dungeons can be a real challenge, and are a good way to test builds, combos and strategies in a real situation rather than checking combat logs against dummies. To be fair, advancing on the cheap is helped by having 12 characters, because by invoking daily over a month or so, I effectively get the equivalent of two of those Celestial Artifact Coffers every day... and that gives me free Coal Wards/Motes that I either use, or unbind with all the tokens I get from Dungeons, and sell for a million in pure profit a pop.
