I'm sad that They just kept adding new things to the game without rebalancing the amount of effort needed to deal with the old ones because it is becoming unbearable to those that dont have lots of time to play(it became for me).

For instance, they designed map system and thats was all there was. Lets say it took 30~50 hours to explore all of it. Then came an atlas with 164 maps and lets say that to open all of the atlas with awakened objectives (wich btw is a must if you intend to get any reasonable map sustaining and currency) took another 30~50 hours. That should be done during a single league. Atziri, Elder, Shaper, consort, beasts each of these adds another thing to read, learn aboutand then taking decisions. Then they added conquerors and Sirius, thats another lets say, 50~ hours total, to explore (and a few more hours to read and understand the mechanic). In comes delirium, now the atlas has passives together with dozens of thousands of 4 watchstone possible combos and atlas passives that takes another few dozens of hours of reading about, watching videos, trying to figure out what to combine with what. Not to mention Delve wich is a whole game by itself. It takes probably dozens, if its not triple digits, of hours just to understand and making good decisions about MAPPING. The point being it used to take 30~50 hours to reach endgame and now it takes 200~300 hours or more of play time. (not taking into account how long it takes of watching videos and reading about the game. That has no end. And by endgame i mean farming t14~16 maps, sirius, conquerors etc as easy as farming t1 maps because thats what you need to be doing to get enough currency to get the gear needed for 100% delirous).

I think its reasonable to mention as well that some of the new watchstones modifiers are so rare, wich makes them expensive, and so rewarding that you just have to go for them even with limited play time, you gonna have to farm for an entire week just to set up up your atlas for a competitive farming strategy and by god you're gonna be doing the very same thing for hundreds of hours unless you want to spend 50 exa on every single map region so you can have a good farm option on whatever region you might be. Now there goes gods only knows how much hours trying to understand how to progress those and optimise, balance watchstones, sextants, atlas passives, master missions, scarabs, fragments, harverst, ritual, ultimatum, matamorphs etc just to step into A map and then having to figuring out how to Jun, how to optmize rituals, essences, and the few dozens possible encounters on a map.


Now think how long one is gonna take to understand the passive tree and ascendancy and combine it with an imensurable amount of mechanics that are brought by unique itens. Then comes deciding between i dont even know how many possible variables of cluster jewels and basic jewels, corruption etc... that right there might take hundreds of hours to explore and understand it wich would be a good thing if you could take your time but you get 90 days because the meta changes entirely every 90 days so standard league is not a solution, i know that by my own experience. It was like playing a new game every single league and having to learn it all again, from delirium to harvest to ritual and i skiped heist, didnt even bothered learning about it wich i'm sure costed me a few exalts just by not knowing what was good and what was not.

The check mate comes with the crafting... They have to spread the options of crafting itens as much as a game possible can. you gotta learn about beasts and do an event to get a single crafting option. Gotta learn about fossils, resonators, essences, orbs, quality of itens, enchants and each of these things you have an entire league to learn about wich if you didnt play is gonna take you a "oh my god not again, another video" hours to understand. Not to mention the fact that players that are patient enough to dewell on TFT discord make hundreds of exalteds just by talking to people on discord and selling the crafts instead of actually playing the game. Harvers crafts could just be orbs or other kind of itens so that everyone had the option to sell them and not only those that live for the game and have all the day to hang on a discord channel.

You season all of that with having to deal with an unbearable trade system made on the stone age when you live in a time of humanity when really do exists real life "auction house" where you can buy almost everything and get it delivered to you at the distance of a mouse click or a screen touch, in a high % of the world so that you can come to a game thats suposed to be fun just to spend hundreds of hours trying to buy what you need( chisels, scarabs, frags etc, wich btw DO NO STACK ON INVETORY, WHY?????) so that you can finnaly step into the place where you do play the game wich is MAP. Dont forgget Having to trade for endless hours to get the crafting ingredients that you need if you decide you want a try at crafting and you better do learn how to craft or you're gonna be spending 50 ex on an iten that could be made for 15.

I wonder how much i did actually played the game this league.

Boy I loved this game to the point of worship and addction. I remember having chills during the years that i took out of the game to focus on my career just by remembering how good it was playing it and it did gave me strengh at the time to keep studying so i could have a confortable enough life to work and play it when i got home. I even wish there was premium subscription so that i could donate monthly without having to manually buy things so that I could support the game. But having money to support the game is not compatible with having the free time to play the game as it is.
