I think its happening everywhere. I'm on Thunderfoot(PVE) and within the last week or so I leveled a couple characters to roughly 15 as miners and I've seen plenty of nodes just poof as I am about up to them, or having the glorious "spinning/teleporting" bot jack it right in front of my eyes. Which while amusing doesn't help me level mining. It seemed to be a bit better over the weekend and I snagged a few nodes (Algoroc) but over all still far less nodes than there should be.
The problem is who would make it? There's definitely room, but you'd need a AAA MMO as well as a new experience for people to be willing to pay that. The companies that could do this lack the suits with enough cojones to green light it. Too risky. The only exception might be Valve, but MMOs are not their forte. Too much profit in selling hats.
Because technologist is shit and it's more profitable for them to focus on trees/ore.
Beyond frustrating. I have stayed at four different peoples houses this last week and fixed something about their internet at every single place .....
This path bites dick.
I dug explorer up to 25 or so when I rerolled. Trailblazer can be pretty fun and the views are awesome. That said I went settler on my warrior and I'm enjoying it far more than I expected. Nice being able to lay down all the buff dispensers and the speeders are good too. Today I was half way across the zone from a quest I joined a guy for and I ran to town, threw down a speeder to the location and I was there in like 2 minutes. After hitting my XP dispenser of course. The cloaking dispenser is pretty retarded though or at least I haven't found a real use for it yet. For those that don't know - you can only choose from certain buff dispensers depending on the settler "node."
Guild wars was the closest thing to a good f2p mmo and it's sytems are terrible from beginning to end. Questing, just like any other game only this questing system wears a mask, pretends its different, and allows you to repeat the quest. Open pvp, castle swapping, boring. Pve, never been worse in any game I have played, the dungeons are absolutely terrible (allowable since its a pvp game). Every other game falls short of that and exploits the grind to sell conveniences. So how's the weather in fairytale land?
Okay, I guess the best way to say it is most f2p games suck? There are a few that do it right, though. DoTA 2, PoE, and a handful of others do it right imo.
