Honestly.... if your from PC or even PS2 release, you wont find anything an "accomplishment" these days. that said, i do congratulate them regardless. back in the day, this game had real accomplishments where it was hard to do even the simplest of task like getting from point a to point b or even leveling up without some stupid jerk arrgon everything and zoning it back (I.E. crawlers nest.. lol good times, good stuff). SE has made this game incredibility easy, why? probably because all the puss *** people who send emails to there complaints page saying ***like "boowhoo, CoP is soooo hard to complete can u plzzz make it easier i cant pass xyz HELP!"
thing is, this game is getting to the point where endgame is getting so easy that there isnt any real accomplishment for even the average of players, for the hardcore players forget about it they either play because of friends or really have nothing better to do in life, because alot of the hardcore players quit years ago either sold or gave away there accounts period.
SE makes this game geared to the comments they get through there website there only trying to keep the majority of the people happy so they can keep playing with ever content that comes out it makes old gear which was hard to obtain obsolete (MOST OF ALL THE GEAR) and with the new content it makes newer gear better then the old and easier to get. abyssea vs salvage (with was a very low blow on SE part btw)
o ps: going back to what i was saying about lv'n up even now lv'n up is made easy where as back then it was really a task thus why people say congrats to that... which stuck on and people just say it just to say it now
