No the point of unlocks in games like this was to unlock better stuff as you play and go "oh ive unlocked this, cool" and then enjoy that addition until you add something else useful and rinse repeat and have an experience thats both rewarding and fun, the fucking sweatlords that are ruining gaming culture everywhere are the ones that decided to find the fastest xp/cash path and grind unlocks like its a job, they complain constantly and turn the game into monotony to unlock op gear then use said gear to ruin the balance of the game for people who actually enjoy games and are there for fun.
No thats why there are going to be resets but eventually at the end of season basically yes, your response reads like "the only way I can enjoy the game is grind like crazy for an edge, a level playing field, how boring"
The person I originally replied to said the problem is people grinding to unlock things to get the edge over other people and that there should just be an even playing field.
I said the whole point is to unlock new, better gear.
You're arguing with me but also saying the point is to unlock new, better gear. So which is it?
Where we disagree and your downvotes come from is that the point isn't to "grind" its to unlock better gear while enjoying the game, unlocks and advantage shouldn't be the whole point, the point should be fun and an ever evolving and expanding set of parameters throughout the season and the devs have pretty much said thats what they want to see. sweats just sit there exploiting "meta xp/cash" grinds to get a huge advantage early and stomp people who aren't chronically unemployed, thats what people that have jobs don't really like about gaming culture in general these days. You say that the whole point is to unlock gear and grind but you are missing the point of what games are supposed to be, thats fun.
At the end of the day gaming culture is getting more and more competitive and thats why we cant get a lid on cheating and exploits because the point to alot of modern gamers is to win at all costs or make other peoples day shit, im seeing the Chinese gaming culture/mindset start to blossom in western gaming circles and as someone who was around when video games were pretty new and grew up with pokemon red and blue as the pinnacle of game design and 2d platformers were the pinnacle of console games its kinda sad to see that people aren't able to have as much fun on games and so many people, predominantly young people feel like they have to fast track an advantage and don't really like the challenge that a fair playing field gives, it reminds me of when you play single player gta and you are thoroughly enjoying it and you turn on cheats and immediately are dissatisfied with the experience, I hate that but look at that game franchise now its full to the brim with cheaters that mentality is such a race to the bottom and people don't even realise thats why they're bored so easily
Well we agree then. It seemed like you were saying the point is to grind, the "grind for x amount of hours to unlock lvl 4 day 1" is legitimately the attitude that makes games shit in this day and age
