BullseyeYou forgot to mention people who whine and rant on the forums of a game they stopped playing are 'dumb'.This whole game is about looks (aside from the 1.leveling 1 1/2.bossing (you boss for better equipment in order to level faster to boss faster for better items too...). And besides, once you are looking at people who are being dumb, you can saycan't wait till horses are out! Will make money off of fools who will spend millions just for looks.
Seriously, mounts are for traveling purposes, this game isn't even that open world yet, apart from traveling to Snorri or raids it doesn't take long to get to places.
A. Anyone who plays is dumb as they are wasting their time irl, because eventually they will quit or game will die out and all that time will have been wasted as compared to what they could have accomplished irl.
B. Anyone who spends irl money in game is dumb for above reasons and bc they could have used that money for something else such as to help poor people, to show someone appreciation with a gift, take some friends to a restaurant, or anything that would be to your benefit long term.
Of course their are counter arguments, and rationalism, but the main point is that anyone can come up with just about any reason to call anyone a fool or to say something isnt foolish. (And i completely agree their are good reasons to play games as well).
Ive come to a conclusion that the only reason people level to endgame, do bosses for better items, spend irl money for more gold, get the rarest fashion, is all so they can "be better" then everyone else. The thing that keeps people going is the noobs who look at you and say "wow". How many people would have leveled to endgame with few characters, gotten edl, spent $100s of irl money, if this was all an offline game? Not many. So you could say the reason will pay that much for anything that goes fast and is rare is bc they raise their "wow" status with a horse, and im guessing horses will remain the priciest mount for a while as it is the first animal mount and looks the coolest of all mounts, and easily goes the fastest (with the skill taken into account of course.)
For those who may argue, just remember this is all an opinion and no one is being forced to take it as the truth. You dont need to prove your reason for playing, its obvious you have one if you still play. No flame wars please
You proved my point as well
But like someone else said, i rant in hopes otm will fix a game that had such great potential that got ruined by ____. (Fill in the blank how u want, everyone has their own opinion )
