This is how gaming dies. Easy mode should be forbitten as default and game should be always at hardest diffuculty and focus on challenging content and not grind. Hard challenges keep everyone busy, dosnt matter if you have infinite free time if you suck gaming. That should be the direction of a real game and not this no sense cringe “don’t have time to farm, here pay 80$ for your season-extraExp-bigEzRewards”. Fucking ridicoulus. If I was a fucking Dev I will actually rewarding the player who spend little time that the fucking no life grinder. Damn make % base drop chance -10% for each hour of the day log inside the game and gg.

i have no idea why you are so vitriolic and generally cringe about this opinion, man. even if you were correct (you’re not) and not gatekeeping (you are), it’s just not a big deal in the way you make it
