I said I was going to uninstall my characters, and uninstall the game. And I was not kidding. But I’m not looking for ‘brownie points’ for keeping my word. What I did, still upsets me.
\nIt wasn’t the “greed is ruining the world” post that I made in here…it was the very thing that always bugged me about MMOs (and RPG’s). Something I just can’t seem to control my temper over. The whole ‘L2P’ aspect.<\/p>\n
But this one had to do with content that my guild told me that it’s OK that I couldn’t do it, yet I was told by others that there should be no escuse. Scaled content. Mainly the Orsinium DLC. So I made a thread a day ago, asking why is this scaling a thing. The first three were pretty supportive, even telling me how that even if I had become a VR16, the mobs would still take a long time to kill. Instead of discussing what was said, they were all “wow.. ok. I have a Level X and I was able to do it with no problem”, even one telling me to tell one of my guildies to give me a “gear health check”. And that’s what convinced me to not only lose my shit (not in the forum), but do what I said I would do. I didn’t even think about it. I just…did it. I’ve vowed to never play another MMO for as long as I live. And no, I do not feel any better because of it. I still feel the same frustration and anger as I did before I did the deed.

\nI just don’t get why they felt it was a good idea instead of making mobs the player’s level, to make the mobs the max level (and then tricking the player that they’re scaled to VR15).
\nAs I said, long ago<\/a>, I tried to do this content as a Level 31. I felt that killing mobs took a lot longer than it was with normal Level 31 mobs, and my guild agreed and asked “why are you doing vet content?” ‘Vet Content’, which means, high-end endgame content. Aka, VR16s only. Yet, people were telling me “any level could do it”.<\/p>\n
\nYet that’s all the responses I got for that entire day. So I bumped the thread, and…the others weren’t so supportive.<\/p>\n
\nAnd then the tip of the lava iceburg (my iceburg is made out of lava, which is made out of pure anger and frustration) was scraped off by five painful words: “if you’re having trouble with Orsinium, you really should. learn. to. play. your. class<\/strong>.”
\n*twitch*<\/p>\n
\nThough the smart<\/em> thing I could had done, was to provide video proof that there’s a problem. But since I don’t do PC videos, that’s out the door. I could had used Twitch to do it, but Twitch themselves still haven’t gotten back to me on that (and I doubt they ever will).<\/p>\n
\nEven if ZoS somehow was able to give me my money back, I would not feel happy….because I’m not happy at myself.
\nYet one thing does calm me down and makes me think. If this was true that these guys had absolutely no problem whatsoever with their Level 3’s and their Level 9’s in Wrothgar, why did my guild wonder why I was doing vet content? Did they not want to tell me the truth? Or did they not know what the others in that thread told me?
\nThis is why I wished I did a video, proving that I cannot do it. But it’s too late for regret. What’s done is done. And really, I should had never gotten into the MMO genre in the first place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
