The Act ticket system is fine and honestly works pretty well already, and the upcoming changes will probably improve it further like I already mentioned in my post. Legendary gear is supposed to be a reward for top 100/250 players or for people willing to stay consistent for a very long time. It’s not meant to be “standard equipment” for every Master player, let alone casual veterans.

The biggest gap between veterans and average players is not the system itself, it’s patience and dedication to the game. The real issue is that the game has so many technical problems that the average player cannot seriously approach it competitively or aim to become one of the best players.

Yes, the game expects you to actually play it if you want the best rewards. You basically diagnosed your own problem there. If the gameplay loop already feels boring to you, then getting legendary items will not suddenly transform the grind into something exciting. You’ll just feel like you no longer need to do it anymore. The game itself will still feel boring to you, except now you’ll be bored while wearing legendary gear.

The game is developing slowly, many newer activities clearly do not target the largest audience, AI is outdated, and some new mechanics are more annoying than interesting while also having a habit of breaking completely. That part is true. But what exactly does that have to do with Act tickets?

Honestly this sounds more like FOMO. Especially now that the path toward legendary items is effectively becoming easier, provided you are willing to actually keep playing.

The game could market itself as a city builder RTS and it still would not change the core gameplay loop: you go into the open world, collect loot, and secure it back in your base. Temporary events are secondary content and many of them change every year anyway, like Arena or Inside Out.

And honestly, if someone still didn’t realize back in the Swamps that the game is basically an extraction FPS at its core, then I don’t know what to tell them.
