Something is really wrong with the game right now.

After coming back to the game from a 2 year break and playing daily since then i noticed something the last week noone seems to have the will to play anymore.

I wrote it in one of my ussual rants but things are easy to get lost in Thread titled "How to live with a micropenis" or other random shit titles people figure out,ending up in waffle recipes,moosefucking and how canadian bacon is superior to american so i am writing it again.

After coming back from a 2 year break the only reason that made me stay were my long time friends and guildies.

My experiences in these 2 months back are these:

Huge Duping that kept the game alive removing the endless grind ~1 year zombie raiding non stop to get your endgame loot
=>
Make that ~3 years with the crippling lag in the Raids and instances

More thoughts on this:

Raid Bypasses were an amazing gift i dont mind doing the same Raid 10 times straight (especially if it is a 10~15 minute one) and in 2 session have the loot i wanted guaranteed on my name

After doing some runs trying to ressurect some Raids like CITW HOX VOD in order to introduce them to new players that didn`t even knew what the subterrane was we faced the LAG beast.Weekdays or a couple of days after the server reboot are fine,trying that shit on weekends or when the server isn`t flushed for a while is mission imposible

Huge XP ploits that also removed the long grind running off destinies being a gimp in parties so you can ETR into an odd destiny for the Epic Completionist or EPL bonuses

More thoughts:
Even though some EDs have synergy with others why do i have to Gimp myself or drastically change my playstyle to the worst possible way waiting to be carried in order to get a sweet twist or aim for epic completionist?

Finally people stopped for a while whinning about no end game and you could actually find groups because there was a reason to run the same packs over and over again for Sagas.

People dug up their long forgotten toons and actually found a reason to "play" them again instead of being ETR zombies playing one toon that turns them into shit players or one trick ponies.

3 Classes are broken as fuck and everything else is there just to add flavor and an extra challenge.

More thoughts:

Sure you can get suprising results now and then on your 3 times Completionist/Epic Completionist eating all your cookies chugging all the pots known to man and using 500 clickies but lets be honest even a pure fighter would do wonders in the hands of these guys and for most quests you dont even need that extra boost other than ePenis purposes.

Rushed Dev decisions.

After Barbarian being viable getting nerfed ASAP because QQ Paladins

People asking less activated skills to deal consistent damage with a barbarian and instead we have
Clickies,Zeal of the Righteous,Storms Eye,Consecration,Rage,Frenzy,Death Frenzy,Action boost,Cleave,Supreme Cleave,Strike Down,Stunning Blow,Trip,Slaughter,Exhausting Blow non stop Rotation

This is fun lets make Storms Eye a spammable skill will help ALOT
While
Low Blow,Coup and Fury providing you with everything you need with a bar with 6 Passive feats on at all times.

No DPS trees 1 41 38 is the way  to go and everything else is shit

Champions too stronk QQ vs Champions too weak QQ

Champions poop when they die or keep their poop in a chest and if you gather their poop the smell will attract a little lion slave SO KAWAIIIIIII or you can trade the poop to a skatlover and he will give you a pot of poojuice that will boost your DPS by 0,5 or add an extra DC to your already no save spell for that 1 raid you can instakill everything.

Jerry admitting that the era of sneaking through entire quests (because fuck you Rogues) is over and you now have to beat the ~400 mobs in the whole quest in order to advance

Exploits doing a good thing to Turbines profit from the huge lets buy Astral Shards and remove the grind factor wave so we can have fun at last!

Haunted Halls was one of the quests i loved and haven`t seen anything like that since Partycrashers back in the day only made better.

BYOH or you are a gimp and you should solo everything with broken hirelings

Epic Vale announcement (get ready for another round of endless questing raiding for mats/ings repeating the same raid 500 times to get a EGS Necklace)

Broken scrolls,Broken enhancement,Broken ED trees,Broken Swap your weapons/con item after each instance so your toon can work

TL;DR
Bring back the exploits and the game wont die
The Remrants hype lasted 2 days
The champion hype a week
U24 1 run and everyone was over with it
Sagas kept us busy for a month+
PC 2015 applications 2 days
The last week though fewer people log to play
LFMs are down by at least 50%
Too bored to run stuff so lets try some DPS tests.
SWF vs TWF debates
At this rate i wonder how many people will be left until the new patch hits

You mistook "ignored" for "lost."

Yep. Mostly agree.

I think you think too much.

I have plenty of time to think while waiting for people to post lfms or wait them to join mine....unfortunately

I have to put my coat and hat on every time I come in here.

But my fingers will be sticky with that shit

Quit writing "Happy, Dedicated, Disciplined people only." Your lfms will fill up just fine.

That is disturbing in so many ways....

Still, so much better than without the comma between "boner" and "coffee."

We took it to another level.
LFMs that say;
If you are in Undying Sentinel DONT EVER DARE (EE Stormhorns)

Or 3 Lfms for LoD chain lvl 16 at the same time

BB friendly LoD

Dont join ****`s group they died at first fight

Normal LOB (actually Lord of Dust)

If you can't handle Storm Horns (even WGU) because you are in US you are just bad, simple as that.

I am talking about LFM exclusions people post.

But 95% of the people dont benefit from it at all!

They might as well run without EDs  or stick to EH EN and farm the small saga stones than typing

"I am a rogue how the fuck am i going to survive more than 1 second against an Assasin Chain thingy? "
