There's a good reason why we don't have great games anymore, and it's related. People think they want something, but when they get it they find that there's no real fun in having it. Games that work on the premise that they should give players what they want tend to be quite short lived. Games can last for years on a trickle of what players want.

GGG has gone overboard giving in to player demand. For the last two years power has gotten out of control. It has to stop... and can either be stopped by design, or simply stopped because people lose interest in the game.

The wants of the average player have ruined many games in the past. They shouldn't be ignored, but at the same time they shouldn't be spoiled either. We've been spoiled. You're seeing the affects of it.

Not sure what game you have been playing, but GGG is not, has not, nor will it probably EVER spoil its playerbase. They just have no idea about their game, NONE whatsoever. If they are ever able to balance this game classes, asendancies, and defenses all, and they have fixed trading, and removed all bots and cheateres alike, then maybe we could talk about being spoiled.

Or maybe you need to get a serious reality check on what 'spoiled' means in terms of game developers.

Because what you're asking for isn't 'spoiling', it's downright impossible. No game developer in history has managed all of that for an online free to play game. Ever.

Any wonder you're unhappy. Your expectations are completely unfeasible. That's your problem, not GGG's.

It most definitely is NOT unfeasible, just not easy to do. I also know what being spoiled means, and until they can give atleast a majority of wha people are asking for, then they are not spoiling anyone.

One could argue that the average human being doesn't know what they are talking about lol

Remember kids:

Statistically, 50% of the people you meet today will be below average intelligence.

Let that sink in a little.

Then realize that, statistically made-up, but probably not inaccurate: 90% of Forum posters are in the lower 50 percentile.

Also remember kids:

Intelligence is a poorly defined term.

Usually referring to general ability to remember and recall information about a number of topics and to be able to interpret leaps of logic.

Rather than going into the specifics of the multitude of ways a person can actually be shown to be "Intelligent" (For example, figuring out things is not really tested, but recalling information is. Meaning, if you have a good memory, you perform well on tests. But it's the person figuring out that information that you memorize that's the intelligent one)

Which can skew "Average" intelligence. Another notable point is that, quite often, people with Autism can be considered below average intelligence. However, these can also be the same people who are EXTREMELY knowledgable about specific topics that they focus on, far more so than what a typical "Intelligent" person might know.

So yeah... Intelligence, IQ and all that stuff, really doesn't hold that much water when it comes to trying to group people in order to better utilize prejudice against specific groups.

Don't hold onto it like a beacon of superiority to lord over others. As doing that, is in reality, stupid.

Judge people based on the merits of what they say (At that specific time, too. Sure, someone who says a lot of stupid crap is easy to dismiss. However, they can give valid opinions too).

Highlighted for irony.

Why so serious? Poor IQ test results? Do they even do them anymore anyway? I had mine in the 70's and I can't even remember the results. Low, I assume.

Where has the funny gone!?

well this took a strange left turn lol

Ehh... They do them, but you have to specifically order them.

I only did one because I moved around too much as a kid and a school had no idea where to put me.

As far as the results go, I got a high result.

But it matters not, I like to consider myself of average intelligence. I just remember stuff is all.

Who cares about IQ? It's what you do with it. WHats that quote by edison something like his success is 1% inspiration 99% perspiration and its true. Working what u have is everything. I know some dumb millionaires some dont even speak english which is another disadvantage. One barley english speaker we built a $250,000 swimming pool with caves, 20ft waterfalls, grottos and shit for didnt even get past 8th grade illegal at one time worked day labor and owns like 12 taco shops today. Works like madman ofc.

OTOH I bet there is homeless geniuses who lazy AF.
