So, my guild and I just got finished hurling ourselves at the brick wall called a Guild Boss. 30 minutes of pure torture, utter boredom, and absolutely zero creativity on the part of the game designers.
and it got me thinking, just how much time do we, as players, waste on this game. So I started making a list, estimating times spent doing each . for the most part I believe it's accurate, with a +/- 5 minute for some.
Dragon Inferno 20 minutes
Bloody Inferno 30 minutes
Guild Tree 15 minutes
Treasure Maps 20 minutes
Battleground 25 minutes
Tanks 25 minutes
Spire 20 minutes
Tok 15 minutes
MPD 15 minutes
Dimensions 25 minutes
Arena 30 minutes
Guild Boss 30 minutes
World Boss x2 50 minutes
Just these events, which are all pretty much mandatory, add up to 320 minutes. That's 5 hours and 20 minutes of gameplay. Add in time waiting in the lobby for various events and you are pushing 6 hours. That's not even including the hours we have to spend for :
Astrals, Sylph Arena, Solo Arena, Guild Blessing Wheel, Wilds Hunting, Amethyst Mine, and Blitzing. Oh, don't forget 4 Atoll Bosses and Sylph Farming if you're bored. This is all a good 2-3 hours of additional playing. Not including all the various clicks and such for all the minor **** not worth mentioning.
I know I'm forgetting a few things, as I've just spent 2 hours straight online staring at the same old tired graphics.
if you aren't VIP and want more energy, add another 2 hours you have to be logged in.
Three times a week, add another 20-60 minutes for Guild Battles, and an extra hour once a month for Class Wars.
Hell, to stay competative in this game, you really have to dedicate about 9 hours (or more) of your daily life to this game. It's another full-time job. And you're paying them to do it.
what the game designers really need to do is remove many of these events. WB, DI, BI, atoll boss and the new guild boss are all copies of the same thing. remove 3 of them, use the new GB points as a new reward system to let us buy what we want of the prizes from all the different events.
Get rid of BG and Tanks, ToK can go too.
soo many of these events were fine when we only had Level 1 wings and clothes to worry about. But with all the additions to our characters, they have really become tired, unplayable, or just obsolete.
I'm beginning to wonder why We're all still here....
