Bored and curious if others feel(s) the way I do.
I've stopped buying aurum mainly because I feel that it does not provide the value that I want in this game. Even when I was running Omega passive and active boosters, I still felt like I was being held back from progressing at the rate I felt was acceptable. It felt like grinding then and now that my omegas are gone, the grinding is even more of a chore. To put it shortly, I suppose the never ending grind is demoralizing and i'm simply burned out.
I don't think buying boosters is worth it anymore. I've played this game for free for over a year and only in the past 3 months have I bought aurum (90$). To me, it feels like this:
>play for free and grind for eternity (3-6 months depending how special you want to get) to specialize into a single role.
>Buy aurum every month and grind for 2-4 months in order to specialize into a single role.
DISCLAIMER: DIGRESSION AHEAD
I'm pretty drunk right now and for some reason this is a really complicated issue for me (one issue keep leading to another, and another, and another, and another, and another......) to process in my head right now. For example, now I want to talk about the bad skill design. ( I believe there should be no such thing as "Core Skills" or as referred to ingame as dropsuit upgrades) Every dropsuit's CPU, PG, ARMOR, SHIELD, SCANNING, and all other skills listed under that category needs to be balanced from the start. The skill upgrades shouldn't exist in the first place. Give everyone the same starting HP, and make them decide how they want to modify their HP with their modules, not how long they've had an account.
I've digressed a bit. Sorry. But I don't want to delete it so I will Italicize my digression and label it as a disclaimer.
Basically what i'm trying to say is, from my point of view, I wish that CCP will treat purchasers of AURUM better in the future. I am no longer willing to pay money in order to barely put a dent in the amount of grinding I have to do to unlock skills.
INB4 fanboys telling me to play for fun (we can't even reach 5000 online. THIS GAME ISN'T FUN)
INB4 pay to win (LOL this entire game is built on pay-to-win. Just because i'm using $$$ and not ISK will not keep me from destroying you or vice versa. Also players grow wider not taller.) |
