You always can enjoy the game any way you want. Is just the game, unlike modern ones, is particularly punishing when you don't play it in a certain way. It's part of the caveat being an old game, but it's charming as well because no one makes games this way anymore. Statistically, people will be herded towards a certain Pattern due to the game mechanics themselves, and by saying the streamer and guides doing that is confusing causation with the phenomenon. That said, staying outside the herd is always a conscious choice you can make.KrassusD2 wrote: 3 years agoyou don't need to pretend, but you can have fun without playing the meta. the game is so much more than that. it's not just about being efficient and getting a good deal, it can be about the struggle, whether alone or with friends, it can bbe about the enjoyment of drops, it can be about making new friends and completing challenges together.Morphin wrote: 3 years ago Different topic, but prolonging a game's fun by pretending not knowing something we already know is going to be futile.
after 20 years or so, would you not say it's kinda stale to start with a sorc and get GG gear in the first few days? Even if someone is the type of player that likes to show off his early ladder gains, after so much time, can that bring any kind of excitement anymore?
It's the same logic I'd like to challenge in your Lo and Ber example. In that example, had the dude known and got 2 rolls for his Grief instead of 1, wouldn't he be happier (who's to say the first roll will always be 40)? If he's upset after learning about that he could have traded it for more, if a perfect Grief means that much to him, why would he care if the trade is fair or not, thus have his joy ruined? If he indeed got upset, is that because someone told him the market value or just because someone ripped him off?
