So how people are complaining about the difficulty of the dungeon is beyond me.
One dungeon that goes level 50-100 = even more dead game. Why put all your eggs in one basket? What if they dungeon ends up sucking and tons of people quit over it because its basically the only dungeon left for TRUE end game. Btw the devs have rumored that lvl 99 is real end game where new content will not be released anymore. Also I don't think you understand. Why would a Extreme player play a map if it has a 100% drop rate? Doesn't sound too extreme to me. MMO's are meant to have really rare items, or else no one would play them. Elites feed off of drops, thats what keeps them addicted, as well as casual players. Take all of that away and you got a dead game, regardless of anyones opinions on greed/self interests.
I never said they were, I said extreme players are less influential. The active users in the forums are also many of our hardcore players. I would say we have about 100 constantly active, then some hardcores who are less active. Thats only 100-250 known active and hardcore players. There is 450,000 registered accounts on Pocket Legends. Thats 449,750 casual players. I know that many of the 449,750 might have deleted the app or haven't played in a month or more. But there is no denying how large the casual player base is. So say the casual players get to level 50 and have the best gear in the game in under a hour. Whats their motivation to keep playing? None.
As far as I am concerned, end game is end game until they make more content. Plus there is a true end-game eventually. This isn't gonna be like WoW or Runescape were content is being pumped in forever.
Also new content takes a very long time to come out. You can wait for a month(s) before a update comes with new content. Then the new content only lasts a few weeks. At least the prices remain stable, so new players get a chance to enjoy it. If you make a new content that lasts one day and crashes every single market in the game, then whats there to enjoy? OL grinding is only fun because the thought of having the potential to get a valuable drop is addicting. Who would farm OL if rift armor costs 100k? No one.
Guess what, cave is still alive. Almost my entire friends list is in a shadow cave, and I got god knows how many friends on my list. Right now gear is only cheap because 1.) Market is still flooded. It will balance out and true price of shadow armor will show. 2.) The old gear is almost as good for now. Cinco most likely is going to add set bonus's. 3.) Caves are tactically challenging since all these updates. Before they were dead because it was like paying rent to be there. The only thing that used to be challenging about it is the fact you had to guzzle potions.
