I did preface my statement by saying, "if I understand correctly."
Perhaps there are some things about the game that I didn't realize were unintended bugs, but rather that I thought were good ideas... go figure.
Admittedly, I'm even more confused now
That's okay though, I'm enjoying the game and will continue to until, well until I don't, which is okay too.
I'm not suggesting this should be a solo game, I've met a number of really cool people in game I enjoy hanging out with! I also have solo games installed if that were my preference.
I'm just remembering other games I've played and trying to apply what I learned from their eventual failures and thus, I worry about the completely-lootable-all-the-time model that gives immense power to one segment of the population over another segment's enjoyment. I've heard the "you should get protection" argument in other games. They're empty servers now.
That may not happen here. No worries. I do personally continue to think that heading in that direction will make a lot of silent folks head out the door, and others not enter it to begin with. I'm not even saying that's necessarily a bad thing at this point since maybe that's what people want in the long run but... I do think it should be acknowledged and mentioned
.
Sometimes people have a lower tolerance for risk than you might imagine as it causes a certain degree of frustration in real life which makes the experience less of a break from reality.
