good idea about more debates, although it usually descends into the fiery pits of satans anus if it involves religion or politics.




grinding in games.... hmm. the thing is some people actually LIKE grinding so its pretty much impossible to make a perfect game that caters to everyones taste.

Personally though i think that obviously levelling should be easier at lower levels to ease you into the game. but once you get halfway up the level ladder the aount of grinding you need to do should remain constant.

instead of ranking up the difficulty by reducing xp gained each level until it reaches astronomically difficult status, there should be a limit. so once you hid mid to three quarters of the way through the level cap it should take a bit of work to get to the next level but it shouldnt keep increasing to stupid amounts.

also games need to have different ways of levelling. its probably impossible or really hard to do but grinding solo for hours on end shouldnt be the best or most efficient or even the only way of levelling. quests and events and other things like that should form an alternative and just as efficient way of levelling.

i dunno about everyone else but im tired of wandering game worlds which are fairly densely populated but where everyone is solely concentrated on doing their own thing and the only conversation you get is "my kill" "no ks" "my spawn" "move or kos noob".

if games incorporated more awesome end game stuff and more events centered around players who hit the level cap then they wont need stupid amounts of grinding to keep people interested.

after all, in my opinion a game which requires a player to grind endlessly for fulfilment is a flawed game.

grinding is for koreans (sorry) and is centered around people who like to play the "loner" in games and just be dicks to everyone (in my experience)

i like games which have a good community and focus around guilds and actually talking and interacting with other players beyond "by ur sord?" "nfs"
i mean whats the point in playing a game with thousands of other people if nobody even talks to each other
