[Warning] This is a rant.
Geez developers, can you absolutely not do anything about this? Are you happy that you troll players trying to do this quest? Let me give you a list, which I’m pretty sure you’re already aware, but I am doing nonetheless just to have you sink this in:
- Gender bending (for male toons) just to gain access to your stupid quest;
- 2.5 hours of endless clicking for that Orsha spirit;
- Having players wait for 5 to 30 mins (could be more) just to be vigilant enough to spot your stupid Manahas spriit;
- Again waiting just for that elusive Klaipeda spirit to appear;
- Forcing players to compete against each other to camp out for the spirit (Pelke Shrine and Uskis); and
- Punishing players by denying them the spirit and having them redo the waiting/killing of mobs just to get another shot at getting the spirit (DP and Crystal Mine).
In case you haven’t noticed, we play to ENJOY the game. I for one have enjoyed playing this game since I began. This experience however seriously killed it for me. Some of us play casually, and yet this quest line forces us to go beyond. Come on. You’re supposed to make the game accessible and enjoyable to as many players as possible.
Why would you create a questline that potentially kills the experience for them? What do you hope to achieve by doing this? It doesn’t make sense even from a profit point-of-view. I’m seriously contemplating of quitting/hibernating, until a better option than Miko comes around (currently Chaplain with Cleric C2).
So there. Big thanks IMC for killing this game for me. I have been seriously restraining myself to insert really vulgar expletives here, for civility’s sake. I hope you continue having fun trolling players who innocently just want to build, what would be for them, their dream toons.
To people who have similar sentiments and have direct access to the “powers-that-be”, I hope you can help me just bring this to their attention. Thanks.
