[P] Hm. I don't understand the slop aesthetic. I don't get why companies are trying really hard to make thinga look authentically like AI slop. The latest entry doing this is Guild Wars 3. Now, fair disclaimer? I'm not a Guild Wars fan. I think it has some of the most bland lore, setting, and narrative writing I've seen in a game. It's no Elder Scrolls. But what onboarded people with GW2? It certainly wasn't the writing.

[P] Sometime in late Living World's fourth season (LWS4), it became clear that they lost a lot of talented people. The fun jumping puzzles were gone, and worse, the art wss gone too. I know that the theory of the time wss that all the talented people had left for GW3. I mean, it was a valid notion to explain why what quality was there just fell off a damn cliff after LWS4. But seeing GW3's trailer? That notion was wrong.
