Changing standards

While changing standards isn't always fun to happen, it means the game is not stagnant. Stagnant/non-changing games don't last very long. Content wise we are waaaay better off than last year or so. With newer content leads to an eventual higher standard for what's good and what's bad.

[COLOR="Green"]Yeah, we've got great new content and all, but the difference is that now there's certain things that have diminished value. Back in the day, Zak was the ultimate evil, and it took nearly 2 full parties to kill a Pap. Now you have Heros that can solo a Zak in 30 minutes or less, and everybody can kill Pap without even having anyone else there.

Now that we've got ToT and soon Neo Tokyo, we at least won't have to worry about diminished gameplay, since once you get to that level, its still hard to fight stuff, considering some monsters have 22k damage attacks.

I'd have to say the thing that really broke gameplay was the Chaos Scroll. I could understand using it on an event equip that would expire, so as to make some momentary fun items, but having the ability to spend a LOT of money to buy a scroll that can potentially make an item impossibly better than ever is a little bit broken.[/COLOR]
