People are right, you don't NEED to be OP to enjoy this game, it's just that people feel that they won't be accepted if they aren't. Sure, if you want to surround yourself with elitist jerks then you need to be as funded as them, but there are plenty of normal people in this game who aren't running around hitting max damage. And these normal people can solo bosses, even though they can't do in it in under 5 minutes.
And the game hasn't gotten "worse", it's just that it's changed significantly and the old school, conservative players hate that things have changed so drastically and have become so much more nx based. Basically the game has chosen to increase the player base to more hardcore gamers by raising the cap of individual achievement you can attain, and increasing the role of the cash shop was how they did it because they need to make money as a business that is trying to expand. People just come up with these reasons for why things are "worse", when for the most part it's a matter of things that have changed in ways they aren't used to. In fact the only major thing they've always been mediocre at is customer service, and it's been a consistent lvl of awfulness from the beginning until now. I don't think anything else has really gone downhill unless you just miss the simpler times.
