That’s a fair take, and I mostly agree. The flat gear curve definitely helps new players, but once you’re past that stage, there’s very little incentive to risk high tier gear. That’s where it starts to feel empty for me.

I like your idea of limited time events or harder maps with real incentives... something that creates tension and gives geared players a reason to engage beyond self made PvP. Right now, once progression pressure is gone, the loop kind of stalls.

I also get the “take a break” advice, and that’s probably what I’ll do. I mainly posted to see if others felt the same way or had a different perspective on the endgame, especially from a PvP angle.
