Me personally, I’m already bored out of my mind only by reading it, but I’ll have a look and judge after getting first-hand experience.

How do others feel about dailies, weeklies, monthlies as currency grind for reward?

KROOF is pretty thrilled about it, I’ve linked her post as an additional source for people. The prospect of a neutered battle pass without the anti-social aspects is worth mentioning.

    Definitely feels like something I’ll have to get my hands on before I judge it too much. The fact that they stated there isn’t a FOMO mechanic to it is good. As someone who played the previous two WOW expansions, I hope it feels nothing like them.

      WoW has a new battle pass mechanic in Dragonflight, called the ‘Trading Post’. I thought of playing DF, but I don’t feel like it anymore, though this is admittedly only part of the problem.

    Since the system is not designed to keep me subbed and supposedly it’s not designed to nudge me toward the gem store in a scummy way, I’m thinking it will be fine.

    I don’t know, we know nothing about it yet, I’ll wait and see before I judge. If they remove login rewards because of it it’ll be a bit sad but not the end of the world IMO.

    I don’t mind if they change the current system. I never understood how they could allow the multi account shenanigans, just for login rewards.

    The only concern for me is that I will loose my steady income of mystic coins and clovers (from one account).

    I think it’s gonna be good. I love the fact that you can progress towards the rewards mixing all the different “game modes” in the game. If today I want to PvP and tomorrow PvE, I’ve still progressed towards rewards.

    I honestly feel like quitting the game.

    I’ve played gw2 since it released, and there’s very little that excites me about the game anymore. Feels like a constant grind for gear if you don’t have legendary equipment (I don’t) and if there is something I hate, it’s gear grind. I finished the story, said my goodbyes to Aurene, and I guess I’m ready to never log in again.

      It’s ok to be bored with the game after a long time, just take a break, play something else and then come back if and when you feel like it.

      But the gear grind part is very confusing, except for fractals you could still be meta with exotic berserker gear from 2012 in some builds. The game could improve in many areas but gear grind doesn’t seem one of them.

      Yeah, you need to spend some gold for BiS but usually even that doesn’t require any kind of group activity or grind. At most some ls currency farm if you don’t have any spares

      Outside of legendary (which is purely looks and convenience) I don’t see any big farm or grind required

      With respect, I think you are perhaps doing something wrong if you are experiencing a gear grind, and are not going for legendary equipment.

      Exotic gear is perfectly fine for all endgame content except tier 4 fractals and, perhaps, harvest temple CM. Exotic gear can be acquired incredibly cheaply and then you’re ready to go - if you need help, I’d be happy to advise.
