seems like TOS is OP’s first MMO…
i’ll say i experienced something more challenging…
in another game i played, the endgame content isn’t usually cleared as soon as the players reach max/high level. Sometimes it takes weeks or even months before a team clears it (and the team is composed of the META of that time, has endgame gear, researched other servers’ vids well and practiced for countless hours)
though i quite agree that having a very specific “META” is kinda bad
also DPS checks. how i loathe that fake difficulty
