But does anyone go to Doom any more now than before??? or less???
Tamer patch is great I'll give it that... however nerfing has begun...
Eodon is a grind... from one side to the other...
Can't speak for any of the rest...
but the game has turned into a grind for greed... and quite honestly it's lost the community .... which is causing many like myself to seek that community elsewhere... if I could find it... I'd be gone.
Doom - I'd have liked the chance to be able to do it. To find out content like that doesn't even cater for your playstyle is pretty depressing, especially when Scholars Halo is one of the drops. Elite Mage gear - only obtainable by Sampires is pretty crap kick in the face game design.
Tamer patch - I'm not a hardcore Tamer, I'm a casual, and for me, the patch has been amazing, it has opened up a new playstyle, and a lot of content I couldn't do before. It's possible I will not even notice the "nerfs".
Eodon - I accept it is a grind, and a Tamer only area. But, nice for the Tamers to get something, everything was Sampire orientated before Eodon and Shadowguard.
Regarding Grind - it's a balancing act isn't it.
On one hand, you are expected to "work", to earn your rewards, on the other, if they get the playstyle to achieve it wrong, or make it too hard, it becomes a grind.
What gets me, is having achieved all of the above, the loot drops are the worst type of randomness, with so many negatives, I've just given up even looking at drops.
Back to Crafting, as we may have derailed the thread.
Crafting should get a boost, to compete with Legendaries, this playstyle should be opened up again.
For me, Imbuing was perfect from the control of what you craft perspective, and the fact you had to farm ingredients for it. The gear was also not overpowered. The negative which made me hate it, was the non PoFability aspect.
Greater Reforging provided the best style of armour, ever, to date. It's stats were close to what you'd expect a template to play, it could be Poffed, and it could be repaired back to max, it was also good quality. The downside for me, was it was still too random, and the grind too large to get what you wanted.
Back to the original post, should Crafts go to 120, maybe, if it helps restructure Crafting in such a way, it can bring Crafting back into the game.
