Is the dev team lost?

To elaborate just a little on how I and many, many others feel about the state of the game. Over the years, the whole RPG aspect of this game has been fleshed out. It started as an MMORPG today it feels like its an MMOA (massive multiplayer online arcade). I put in my quarter, pick a character and go pewpew one of the 3 options you’ve given me (M+, Raids or PvP). In order to continue on, I just keep popping in quarters every so often.

What I think your missing is that every playstyle (casual, hardcore, PvP, PvE etc.) relies on the RPG depth and is what ties it all together and makes it great and engaging.

I’m sorry but I feel like, you (Ion) and everyone else on the team has been doing this too long. You’ve moved away from the fantasy (RPG) of the world and look at it through numbers, charts and graphs. You’ve sized the game and as the years go by refuse to let it grow as you keep pruning and altering it, keeping it contained (shrinking in a lot of cases) as much as possible with a ‘plug-n-play’ type approach. I feel like developers today don’t log-in for the fantasy and community anymore but rather to figure out if the ‘system’ is working properly.

This is what I said a few days ago on this very same subject
