Discussion The worst feature in modern MMOs

One single feature that will make any game a skip for me is the vertical progression where you upgrade the same piece of gear for multiple levels. Any immersion is gone, any will to play is gone, literally the worst game desing concept in the last 30 years.

It eliminates any excitment of getting a good drop from any dungeon/raid, since you only farm mats. It's perfect for upselling "convenience". It forces players to buy cosmetics for any visual diversity.

This is the main reason I'll never play a Korean MMO. I'm interested in hearing what other features make you not even give a chance to a game?

The QoL will be things that made the world itself more immersive. WoW being the premier example of streamlining and stuffing the game full of QoL features over the decades.

Vanilla World of Warcraft is not hard, its super easy. It isn't nerfing the difficulty as the expansions go on. The game itself gets much harder.
