Can someone please explain why this game has went to fun, to unnecessarily grindy, and not fun?

The game after this last patch make me sorry I ever spent real money supporting this game.

It went from fun and challenging to impossibly boring and a never ending grind.

Please explain why white mobs are now slaughtering me without effort.

This is what it feels like to "Earn it". This IS "The Vision"
Are you NOT entertained?

You want all that fun and progression for free?

Gotta work and trudge through early levels to reach true ARPG gameplay, we're doing realism here. /s

I wish there was more white mobs and less loot.

That's the best way to make the game harder, prolong gameplay, and thusly also the amount of fun to be had.

Right?
Riiiiight?

To be fair, what you described was my progression playing from launch until end of January. This patch just eliminated the first 2 steps and went straight to no fun.

There are so many build options in this game and virtually none of them work. You get punished for trying stuff. And with the new patch you can go find and copy the best build and it'll either be nerfed or you'll still be grinding for 10s per white mob.

But hey, the player count is still super high so either someone is having fun or there are just a lot of miserable people wasting their weekend trying to get through campaign and/or crying in global.

Cliche sure...but, "EA 0.2.0B".

Just wanted to follow up:

I am really encouraged witnessing the near immediate changes that were made to the game following my post.
(I am not implying a causal relationship, most likely a coincidence)

Regardless, thank you to whomever was responsible for directing, and those implementing the changes made.

Super impressed!
