why are casuals playing a game that is decidedly niche ?

Because we don't have a choice thanks to patents and copyright and dev autocracy?

You know of another arpg that amounts to a modern diablo 2 with final fantasy's passive web and materia system?

I'll gladly go play it. Especially if I can play it offline with mods.

using your logic, all games should all be made and catered to an average video game player

Dude, if I get my way we both can play how we want, if you get your way we both have to play how you want.

That's the hardcore problem with hardcore.

How about a nerf on Legacy Kaom's? No? I understand. We don't want to piss off those players.

This. I said this when I read mayhem was gonna be voided. Like give me one good reason why when they allow legacies to even exist.

It's so blatantly obvious they are playing personal favorites. Not builds, people. It's like everything else. Corrupt. We got a handful of influential types, and everyone else is literally meaningless.

Just like irl:

The alternative to legacy items is having extensive server downtime that would only get longer and longer as the playerbase got bigger. The reason for the server downtime in that case would be GGG running scripts to change every single changed item over to new values.

That's for specific items getting numerical changes. If it's a fundamental global mechanics change like what happened with ES in 3.0 or them putting a cooldown on Mjolner, that can easily get changed since you can change one unique mechanic and not change other stuff, unlike with Kaom's.

Legacy items do not exist because it would piss off some players if the nerfs applied retroactively. Going back to Mjolner as an example, it used to be incredible but GGG changed it to have the cooldown which immediately pissed off pretty much every Mjolner owner and then some.

As various humongous nerfs have shown, GGG isn't afraid of pissing people off. If it was feasible to not have legacy items, they'd be doing it.
