I think I figured out how to best sum up my feelings on certain things that have been going on over the past year or two. The section this thread is in is a big clue.
For me, (and many others) one of the biggest thrills from this Universe (outside the money thing) has always been the learning.
And I don't mind the new content at all. In fact it's great to know that there's so many more things for me to discover and learn in this game. It's what keeps me going...
But what happens when the information you have about an item, mob, blueprint, etc. gets changed?
Long ago, they adjusted the regen of ambu, aruli, etc. a handful of mobs. I remember one person complaining that the new ambu were suddenly using mod faps.
Long ago, we went from six pieces of armor to seven. (IIRC, a rare suit or two have yet to get footguards.)
A little while ago, more things got altered.
Mobs got readjusted.
Certain blueprints got new recipies.
Slowly, things keep getting "rebalanced", "readjusted". The real word is they keep getting "Changed".
I like learning new things in this game. I really do.
What I do NOT like is having all that knowledge slowly tossed out and relearned, instead of being added too.
My mates have had some questions in soc chat, and to a large amount of them recently I found my answer is "I don't know".
And even worse, I find I have no real desire to go find out the answer. It'll just change.

- What new mob is this?
- What's the best equipment/strategy to hunt it?
- What's over in the NE corner of that mountain area?
- Where can I find ignisium?
- Do any BPs even use Ignisium?
- Why is this item rising in price so fast these days?
- Etc. etc. etc.
