The Reality of our "Content"

As for solution, I think one thing they can do is giving NLC the system that makes monsters 6+ levels below you give less EXP. Also, nerf the obviously overpowered monsters, such as Alien Cogs/Miners and raise the level of Haunted House monsters. As for Stronghold, they can probably reduce the party play bonus to 20% like JMS (?) did, and LHC should be turned into single play zone.

JMS only gives 20% boost per party member, correct.

Also as far as I know GMS is the only version with LHC still being a party play area, and in at least JMS they can't decide whether they want Stronghold to be one anymore. One patch half of it is, the next none of it is, then all of a sudden all of it is. They can't make up their mind. Honestly with the concept of Monster Park, that's where Party Play should have been moved to completely. It's a nice instanced area with no possibility of KSing and a lobby for gathering a group, where everyone of a specific level range gets put in the same channel. It's the perfect place for it. There's no reason for Stronghold and LHC to stay Party Play, especially when they have versions of themselves INSIDE Monster Park.

As for the solution: That's really only half the problem. As I mentioned earlier, quests are the other half. The game shouldn't be all grinding. We should care about the questlines, the story, the characters. We should have objectives, especially for a game that has over 9 years of active development. There's really no excuse that there's practically NO questline worth our time. [MENTION=10378]Curtiss[/MENTION]; mentioned a few, but seriously...9 years of content and we have three to six worthwhile questlines? The fuuck is that?
