Bestiary as a Core Game Mechanic

I cant speak for everyone, but I would be more than happy to see old leagues revisited, dug up, reevaluated, rebalanced, polished up. On reflection torment seems like a wasted opportunity, the mobs the ghosts tag dont drop stuff specific to the ghost, doesnt seem like the different ghosts mean anything different its just a ghost and you just get more of the same crap you get killing mobs anyway. Prophecy is now horrendously weighed down with backtracking bullshit to the point of being a complete chore with questionable worth in reward, its like a miserably tedious waste of our time that we are invited to engage in for a lottery chance payout that feels unlikely to ever really come. Rogue exiles feel weak, they have no hp, their fights just feel like any old rare mob because they instantly die, the reward in items no longer matters because of too much item bloat, anarchy needs reexamined and made impactful again.

Rewards across the board that simply consist of more drops, be that exiles, bosses, chests, ghosts... theyre not working because youre dropping way too many items to the point where items are meaningless. So much crap drops that your game isnt even playable without a loot filter, its literally unplayable, my computer has to calculate 100s upon 100s of items on the floor, their models, skins, how light hits them, the whole works, and if I was to see the text of them I couldnt even play the game because my screen would just be words, the entire thing, I couldnt even see the game under the mountain of shit that drops. When a lot of currency drops its universally fun, when you drop a lot of white, blue, yellow and orange gear it all stops being worth anything and ppl stop even picking it up. Orbs are so rare and items so plentiful that the amount of orbs people are willing to pay for the items vs what an orb can do is so fucked up that bothering to pick up items feels more and more like a self found game mode tactic as we go on. tbh it feels to me like the game is balanced around self found now and from a trade game perspective the game is completely fucked, economies go into meltdown with item saturation within a couple of weeks. You still think this is a trade game? If so you need to rethink how little currency we have to trade with and how worthless all the items are because your flooding the game with div cards and item drop rates.

You say things like "we want 6 links to be more common" yet you dont increase fusing drop rates or adjust fusing chances, you just bypass the existing systems in your game and push div card drop rates to the point where a 6L is worth 33 chaos, while you still have a bench 6L worth 1500 fusing and a by hand 1200 fusing, meanwhile you expect us to trade items for 1 fusing each because you are dropping items like candy and not dropping enough currency to keep them worth selling vs what someone has to offer. Where is the design sense? What is a 6L worth in your minds? 33 chaos or 1500 fusing? You dont even know do you? All ur thinking is what can we add next to bring in new players and sell them mtx right? The game is full of examples like this, an idea from 5 years ago, an idea from 2 years ago, neither is compatible, both existing does not make sense, this reward made sense then it doesnt now, that mechanic was weighted again this mechanic that has now been undercut and rendered redundant by this addition that came later...


I feel like theres a lot of stuff in the game that could do with someone looking back over and actually fixing up. Its a mess, and you just keep adding more stuff on top, you seem to refuse to actual evaluate what is here and make the needed changes, you seem to think the only way to survive is to add more and more and more... Do you ever consider you are losing people by not addressing whats already here and making sense of it? That bringing a new person here is fine today but when he doesnt stay for tomorrow because your game at this point is a giant bloated garbage heap of confused bullshit that you arnt actually winning the war against decay? People staying is as valuable as new people coming.
