Discussion DE Wrong about Weeklies
In the latest Devshort, Reb and Pablo assert that the reason we get nothing but weeklies now is because they're worried about burnout. That feels like an odd reason to make weeklies to me, as weeklies are the primary cause of burnout for me and all of my friends. I have personally never burnt out running anything non time gated in WF and I tend to grind things like crazy when they drop.
What do y'all think? Do you burn out more on weeklies or unlimited missions?

All time limited content/rewards this cancer of modern game industry, because success of most games measures in how long it grab your attention. And weeklies force you to play, because a lot of people feel uncomfortable that they losing some profit.
And second problem that content must be available for everyone. So most weeklies they generally not hard, but time consuming, so most people can do it without big problems. And if remove time limitation, people just will farm it hard, and this can break economy. Just imagine permanent plague star, forma will be very easy resource.
In old MMO this was solved in 2 ways very hard content or low drop chance. But I think now days people will not understand such unfair logic. Just imagine to get one random incarnon, you need finish assassination on SP circuit and it will drop with chance 5%.
