Exactly one of the mentioned posts.
It became Mayhem Universe.
Why? Because most else is shit.
Is this healthy for the game?
This.
Rant:
I love EU still play, some times a lot, every day grinding 12 hour shifts, other days i hop on once every 2 weeks.
The only time i get close to feeling that my money isnt sucked out of my wallet is during events. There and only there is it worthwhile playing.
If you read this, no, i do not want to "earn quick bucks" or "omg you just wanna win big". I do not care about profits or losses, but when my return is at a deadass steady 50-60% it is just discouraging. I'm an overly unlucky player at times and very lucky other times, my post history shows that. But lately, qithout fault for the past 2 i've hunted or grinded somewhere, and without joking, Every. Single. Time. I stay at a place for a short bit say 20 hours total hunting, i get totally drained, as soon as i leave someone else randomly stumbles in, boom 10k hofs, boom 20k, boom items, boom wtf i'm so done lol...
I started in the way back times in 05, played a few years and stopped, came back for cryengine, played a few years and stopped, that account died because i sold out due irl stuff and then inactivity took it. Now my account is downright cursed and its to me beyond discouraging. I wish others well, and i love seeing others happy, but for me i just want to throw my PC out the window.
I've been a main hunter for soon 20 years, its the main thing i love doing. in 20 years (rounded up from like 18 years?), my biggest loot ever, while hunting was a random motherf**** shoggoth that paid 1300... thats it. From big hunting, to small hunting, having faps, unefficiently albeit trying uber mobs to the lowest of most dull snables, i've tried it all (excluding new uber mobs because kekw oneshot) you get my drift. I do not want to "win" I do not care about profit.
But I want my playtime to last, and with a 50-60% return its just not possible, I know i do stuff wrong, I know i'm not perfect, But my setup, is not bad, what i hunt, is not bad for my skill and my gear. People on stream, who have seen me hunt who are a lot better than me, are confused, people i've spoken to who are way better than me, are also confused.
The only single place i now play, hunt, or do anything, is mayhem and events, there i get appropriate returns, there my money lasts about as i expect it. Any other mob, god forbid any other planet, is just a downright money drain.
And i am, sorry for the french, fucking tired of people saying "oh but you just need better gear". like wtf yes, let me just drain myself finacially irl and spend tens of thousands on a game just so that i can get closer to hitting bigger and lose my shit at a appropriate rate... mid lvl weapons cost 50k++ for decent ones like wtf is going on
Again, if you read this rant, its just me being frustrated, i know i'm not perfect i know i'm not correct, this is a very "me issue" most of it, I know i can do things better, but at the end of the day the returns I (me) have is just not right, and my frustration is that while others seem to willy nilly just have all the luck on their side, my luck, has left me and it sucks.
