I sunk 3 years and over 1000 hours into Warframe, then I took a vacation to Africa where I couldn't play for two weeks. When I got back I was like "why am I even playing this game? Wonder if anybody wants to play something else" then proceeded to have a few years of great multiplayer games with my dudes.

I forget exactly where I heard it and the examples given, but the quote stuck with me. Given the chance, gamers will optimize the fun out of a game. It's a big game design problem.

thats RS for you, the grindiest game out there. they made it grindier now, enough to cause people to have a mental breakdown and leave the game.

The only game I ever beat was Fallout New Vegas. I'm not even talking about 100%, but simply completing the main storyline. Ever. I just get too hung up on side questing until I don't like the game.

I've stopped enjoying games lately but it's a symptom of my need for socialization than grinding the game. The weeks i've been more social i've wanted to olay a bit after

Im feeling this trying to find a crow sourced on BL4. Why the fuck would you ever make a drop rate so low that players need to invest hours if not days grinding for it? Worse, a DEDICATED drop that only comes from one source, locking you into the exact same fight over and over again?

I have extremely low tolerance on mindless grind. If I have to repeat x thing y times to have a chance at getting z, I am not gonna bother. I don't mind grind if it evolves - new mechanics, new variables, new tools, all that stuff. But just grind? Fuck off.

I like playing Warframe. It's kinda grindy, so I don't have much and mostly play doing what I like and collecting stuff during it. Once decided to actually get certain armor as chances were high, so it shouldn't take long.

It didn't. I think it took 6h. Got fed up with the game for half a year after that anyway. Worst part of it was that feeling of achievement was minimal compared to tiredeness I felt.

It's Divinity Original Sins 2 for me. Some side quests are interesting but it is getting cumbersome and a chore for me because getting to some of those side quests are awkward, like I have to teleport my entire team across large crevasses one by one. I think I will just go straight to finishing the main quests and my companions'. I have a backlog of games I need to clear up myself!

Maybe capitalism has broken your idea of what success and 'doing' is, and you need some fucking therapy.
