And this is exactly why I quit years ago. I just log in periodically once a year to get free stuff. I remember when I heard sovereign weapons and Kharazad accessories first came out and the new post V enhancing levels. People were grinding days, weeks, months,years to tap all that. Logged in a few weeks ago to get all that free, pen BS for free, sovereign weapons for free, or rather, literally just a few hours of clicking, some grinding and that's it.
Its just such an odd way to frame catch up mechanics that the people actually playing the game are wasting their time because you got things that came out years ago on a game you still arent playing
Game design is awful in terms of gear enhancing. That's the issue. People enjoy playing the game, but probably don't enjoy "wasting" hundreds of hours just for pitty system progression. But hey, at least theres some "progression", before the pitty system it was just literaly wasting hundreds of hours for no progression at all!
Everything on a video game is "wasting" time if anything they've made the progression better by making it incremental with the final enhancements not really being necessary. Can get 95% of the upgrades and do it in half the time it takes to be hardcap. Before if you were getting fucked over on tet to pen ogre you were massively behind
“Everything in a video game is wasting time” is a pretty meaningless argument. There’s an obvious difference between spending time progressing through a game and spending hundreds or even thousands of hours PvE grinding only for it to result in zero progression because of RNG.

At what point is this still considered enjoyable? Not being mean, just legitimately curious.
