» Tue Apr 09, 2013 11:25 am Let me direct you to the definition of maschism (Taken from Dictionary.com):
Mas-och-ism.
Noun.
1.The tendency to derive pleasure, especially sixual gratification, from ones own pain or humiliation.
2.(general use) The enjoyment of what appears to be painful or tiresome.
Number one probably doesn't apply.
I recently went back and looked at Guild Wars 2. I decided I want to obtain a legendary. I have never done anything so unfun, stressfull and grindy in any game ever. And I still don't have a legendary yet.
That's Guild Wars 2. The concern I have now is that this game may not be that different. So to anyone at Zenimax Online looking at things over here, I have this question: What sort of Grindy, repetative, masochistic, mind-numbingly, boring, ceaselessly , dull, uninteresting, and monotonous things might we be doing? keyword "Might." I have no knowledge on whether or not this game will turn out to be the above synonyms. It's just an observation I've made from my experience of other games.
I'm tired of playing the gear-farmer; I'm tired of dungeon tokens; I'm tired of DPS-racing, et al. I want to band together with other players as an adventuring party and be a hero. The second you have things like gear-based engame, a bajillion different currencies and daily quests -- is the second heroism dies and warps and twists into an amalgamation of addiction and maschism.
But at least you'll have over 9000 spell power.
