I was in a small guild once that did some vet dungeons but my dps was so bad they weren't impressed as we took so long to kill dungeon bosses. After that I took up healing with the intention of doing vet again but lost the motivation. I mostly do a random normal or ordinary quests now and can't be bothered to get the latest armour or weapons. One day maybe I will when I have more time.

I bought the game, spent months only focusing on endgame content when i was cp 300.
Focused on lvling up all those things, and out of nowhere BAM all the sets i had transmuted , farmed on vet trials,
Where not meta anymore. And back then we didn't get 10 geodes from a daily dung , or had a limit of 500 , the limit was 100
Tried going back to meta , since relequeen looked interesting.

Just bloody burned out and stopped playing for years.

I come back and they decide to add VMA PERFECTED bows. and i just ragequit because i didn't want to redo vma again.

Now i came back, i decided to just roleplay , chill, do quests, only do normal dungs... and the game is surprisingly good.

All the choices. From vet dlc hm to duoing vet dungeons to questing.

In this game, I'm 100% Casual.

I've been all along the spectrum in various games, but in this one I never found a 'home' in which to grow and learn the harder aspects. However, I never explicitly SOUGHT such a home. The first time I really played, my hours were far from conducive to doing so. This time around, I'm either duoing with my husband, and in this game he's very much a flower sniffer who likes to take things really slow (which I'm fine with), or I'm solo. We don't PUG, and we don't do group dungeons (though we might attempt to duo some old world ones with companions eventually). When I'm solo, I also don't PUG, because I feel like my CP level gives an inaccurate representation of my game knowledge, and I really don't want to have to say "I'm actually a newbie, I don't know the mechanics" of most places I'd wind up.

However, despite being (a very clean and presentable) casual, I still hope those that like things challenging can get what they want, too. So I guess my in depth answer is "I like Casual, but I hope this game always seeks to provide Both."

I've been infested with Good Idea Fairies.

Sorry, but it is what it is. I write this out to let them out or get eaten from the inside out.

So, here's a really stupid idea. A mash up from both Rift and LOTRO.

In LOTRO, players can play monsters for pvp if they so desire.

Rift has these... well... rifts where bad things flood through and go a rampaging around the map.

Soo...

For end gamers and long time vets, lets say, characters with 1000 cp or more get the option to start a Deadra or whatever monster character. They get to start off fairly powerful but not overwhelmingly so. They have a zone where they can level up on their monster character.

And every now and then a rift opens up and the daedra character players can come swarming in on the regular world. The monster players would get some notification so they can be ready when it comes but not know where it will open into (so they can't tell their buddies so they can prestage for the thing).

Then when it's time, the rift opens up and all the monster players click a gizmo and insta port to the opening side of the rift.

It could also work like invasions in Ryzom.

But with real players as the mayhem makers rather than dumb npcs.
