They need to cash in and finally make different versions. I won't pay $40 or whatever it is for skipping a life but I would drop $5-10 every now and again to skip a level/range I'm not looking forward to.

Case in my point; my main with all the lives has been sat idle at a level for weeks now because I don't care for any quests in that level range and I just can't be arsed to do it again. For now.

If they sold a Single Level Stone or a Saga reward type stone I'd've almost certainly bought one to get back onto quests I still enjoy. As is I just haven't played instead.


This has been told to them many, many times.

I, for example, would like it if instead of a single 2 million stone you got 10x200k stones. Same amount of XP any way you slice it, but it lets you space out the leveling and play the parts of the game you enjoy.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Its a double-edged sword. The whales and the old-timers need the grind to keep them playing, but SSG failed to provide systems to help the nubs catch up. Once the nubs realize how much of a grind is waiting for them, they are less likely to stay.



Meh. Selling boxes helps.

A well-geared first-lifer does fine. With "fine" being low-reaper and below.

Yep, not to mention the bereaved quite often! Why many cultures in the past had such strict and delineated rules for the mourning period. Saw it myself from the sidelines when a coworker lost their spouse very suddenly of cancer, was insane.  The kind of thing the guys writing the Torah, Bible, etc... saw and knew needed to be sorted out before every starting killing, dying, etc... Kind of like Chris Rock's take on the pork chop and religion.

Sadly only scammers are "selling" boxes now. But if you do want to get scammed, I know a guy.

Just for the record, I bought ten stones from Dragonborn a few days back. Fair and civil trade which went smoothly

Yes the problem is incoming players don't want to have to spend years of repetitive grinding just to get above "fine".

So just as a point of comparison consider World of Warcraft: it has no TR system so once you hit cap its all about improving your gear. The means that by the simple act of leveling to cap, a brand new player is only a short distance behind a launch-day veteran and can catch up in a reasonable timeframe with enough effort.

Contrast with DDO.

Now, granted, its not a very fair comparison because DDO is a much better game and TRing is the "true" endgame for some people. Its only once you've played every class to cap that you even start to get a feel for the deep interactions.

The solution I think is to make leveling faster the longer you've played, instead of slower(EG reduce XP required after TR instead of increasing it).
