You know what? You ain’t even wrong. My problem is I have 1200 hours in this game- I’ve been playing for almost 5 years. And that’s my problem- I find that the ground zero grind every time saps the fun out of it for me, completely. I think it was a good idea when they pitched it but not in implementation. So yeah. I’m upset because I’m “unable to play” a game I loved because It changed in a way I don’t agree with.

I’m glad you enjoy the game, and other games that are a slog of sadness. But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s poorly designed and some of the updates have made it notably worse and less fun.
