A public message to those of you who claim there's a lack of content!

[Chemikz]

I've been playing a 3-4 hours every day (on average) for over a week now. I'm ego rating 800 and I'm nearing the end of Act 2 out of 5. I've been totally entertained, and I keep finding new stuff to do every day. I'm currently juggling pursuit completions and side/main missions as I slowly creep my way to Act 3. Currently holding 2 legendaries and 8 Epics and many outfits and titles due to pursuit completions.

I feel I'm playing the game right. I allow myself to get distracted in-game. Like if I'm driving to a mission and I see an interesting emergency I hop off my bike and complete it. Same goes with Arkfalls. I don't allow myself to get tunnel vision with one particular goal (like racing to the end of the game.)

I've noticed a slight yet steady increase in activity on my server too. I believe the majority of players are doing it this way, and there's a handful (say 100 or so) that have burned through the game and taken to the forums to cry about 'lack of content'. The rest of us (probably a couple hundred thousand) are happily going along on way, enjoying our time.

The first DLC will likely be released a month or two from now. The same will be done again. A handful will race through it and come to the forums to soak the pages in tears and the rest of us will quietly enjoy it. They never learn. Ever. It happens with every new MMO and every new expansion.

Sure, this game has no end-game, but it's not subscription based either. Is there an end-game in Call of Duty? Or Gears of War? Or Halo? Those of you who feel there's a lack of content need to remind yourself what type of game this is. You know who you are.

You have no right to be angry at TRION or those of us who tell you otherwise because it was your own fault for playing too much and getting burned out. Ofcourse you'll lose your motivation!

tldr; If you're given a delicious cake that's the size of a small horse and eat it none stop you'll get sick of it and throw it away. Take slices, enjoy them and then take more when you feel hungry again!

Top notch post! At least there's some people left who value this game for what it is

[EmptyFibers]

Worded just right! Never understood why folks complain about content when they rush through a game in a weeks time. What the hell do you expect, I mean really.

Some people just like to cry. They'll cry there is too much content, they'll cry there isn't enough. To those crying there isn't enough... I've literally poop socked this game for three days and I'm still ego lvl 150ish. People who have done everything... I can't even

I was going to to say, "Some men just want to watch the world burn. " but you wrote a beautiful post that is 100% true.

This game is a surprise to me. I never find myself bored or without anything to do. Can the missions get repetitive? Of course, but that goes with any game. And once they release the DLC, more fun shall be had.

I can't understand it either but I've seen it happen many times before. I've came from the game World of Warcraft, played since 2007. At least there they have some ground to stand on when they complain of a lack of content in say a content patch, as they pay a subscription fee to play the game. But we pay what £40 $60 for this game and what comes -in the box- is quite frankly astonishing in comparison to other third person shooters on a console. Not to mention the DLC's we're promised and the free episodic content they're giving us weekly that they really don't have to give.

Also I believe the ones that have an issue with the lack of content are more vocal than those who don't. So if someone looks at the forums they see many threads and complaints on the issue and it paints a very bad picture. I'm more than confident the -majority- of the players are happy with the amount of content given and that keeps coming weekly, we're just not shouting it from the rooftops. TRION will know this, however, as they have the statistics and will be able to see who plays what and when and for how long, etc. So it's all good. I just hope the community managers don't see the tide of complaints on this forum and take it to heart. I'm sure they won't..

*golf clap* Well said.

This a thousand times.

Exactly, people are so spoiled and want everything now and then they complain! Great post man!

Dude, that was awesome man. I am 45 years old and just got back into gaming, i work a lot so really don't have much time to play, I love the show so decided to get the game last week. I actually love it. I don't think I am playing the right way as you say, all i do is do some of those missions and side quests and just have fun messin around with everything. Ya some things could be better, but I am having a blast with it. Here is how I rate games. If I start playing and all of a sudden my wife comes in and asks how much longer because I have work in the morning, then I realize I have been playing for 6 hours, its a good game. They just put us on 14 hour shifts and Im still jamming home to get in an hour or so. I love this game. cant wait to see what the add to it later or whatever. Take it easy everyone.
