  • Uhhhhhhh, absolutely! This is a massive reply and I am appreciative of that. I am sure that many other people reading are also sort of in the same mindset or (where the hell am I really?). I still am a tad confused as to why this account will not work on other instances, but I guess you do explain why here in this response.

    Appreciate the time and effort :)


  • I left Reddit because I gave them so many years of dedication (and $ via Reddit premium), not even considering the fact I bought coins on multiple accounts.

    1. Reddit became way too focused on Karma. Karma is great in concept, but more than half of the users are only posting for internet points at this point. It takes away from the validity of posts imo. How many “I stopped drinking for 30 days!” posts did you see on there with like 70k upvotes and thousands of karma?

    2. The amount of not genuine posts is alarming. People have become addicted to the upvote/downvote system moreso than boomers on Facebook have become attached to their pages.

    3. The amount of hate speech, misinformation and blatant lies the site actively promotes is insane.

    4. They literally made everyone NFT wallets…???

    5. NFT wallets?? Why the fuck was this ever approved? Oh yeah, more $, and something else for Spez to add to his IPO rubbish. Hey look at us we have some NFTs too type beat.

    6. The userbase is pretty shit and Spez has even admitted to not caring about the people who made his site what it is.

    Why would anyone ever stay on a site where the literal CEO says he doesn’t need nor care about you?


  • I had a similar experience with GW1, go figure.

    Surprisingly, GW1 is still relatively popular. There are still massive events held by Guilds, there are server events held by ArenaNet, and the fact that most people who play end up getting sucked into a MegaGuild by proxy (that’s just where everyone plays…) it left me with sort of a worse experience overall in some form. Don’t get me wrong, the game is great, and the community is too but playing during the golden years versus playing now, there is a clear discrepancy between what was fresh and new at the time and what is overplayed. There are tons of bots. The large Guild communities focus on end game min-max, and you can’t really do that without the pcons (consumables) that are extremely expensive. The largest Guild there and it’s leader participate in mass-botting (even though they deny it, I know they do because I became an Officer for a bit when I played and met the real faces behind the wealth of players in game and they all bot) and there is incentive to mass recruit new players so the cycle can continue.

    Other than that, Maple Story has been giving me a crazy nostalgia trip as of this last week and I don’t think I will be stopping playing that anytime soon. I put WoW on the backburner for now as I grind out on MS.
