[My comparison isn’t equating quality] This is WoW: the shooter You do the grinding thing FOREVER. You grind to get to a new tier of grinding. You grind to get access to end game content. You grind the endgame content that you grinded to grind at. Next time some content or a season rolls around, guess what? You are grinding to the next level all over again. This system is designed for people with an insatiable hunger for growth and things to do. Which simply boils down to ‘this game isn’t for you if you detest the very identity of the game’ Two years on your record so you’re still playing after you’ve either realized or refused to realize this. So every minute you play, you’re actively making your own problem It’s also pretty naughty of you to be waiting on new new content because your friend isn’t high enough. Especially if you say that everyone is getting sick, you’re making your friend more obligated to play than you should because you verbalized him as an obstacle. If your friend isn’t even 1040 or 1050 (1050 being where the dungeon isn’t any harder than normal) it means he isn’t playing. And he probably doesn’t need the social obligation to play a game he clearly isn’t playing if he isn’t at the standard light level more than a month later.
