This is how I am with pretty much any mmo games.
I'll get through the normal level up/equipment upgrades and then to get any of the better items you have to grind for specific items that have like a fuckin 1 in 10,000 drop rate from a boss that takes a full raid party to beat and takes over an hour to finish. Oh and you need like 50 of said item and you can only run the dungeon on the 3rd Sunday of the month or some shit like that.
And this is pretty much the standard for mmo games
Lol yeah, I'm getting back into classic wow raiding right now, and I really don't have the stomach for farming so I'm constantly broke and can't afford all the 20 consumables you need to stay on top of shit, and that's not even bringing in the whole world buff thing into it. It's just ridiculous sometimes, but getting those sweet drops hits like crack, especially when you're rolling against 8 other people lol.
I really wish an mmo game existed where you could just design your character at max level if you wanted to and just crush shit though. Like remove all the grinding and just have fun quests and dungeons, and you can raid more than once a week lol.
There's a game called Fellowship that's trying to be something like this. There's still progression though.
Yeah I think there would have to still be to keep players coming back. I'll have to check this one out.
