I do team for things like dungeons and especially difficult bosses, and with the right people, I find it satisfying and fun. This isn’t a merit for “teaming” but rather, a failure of systems design and implementation such that we had to use the team system to get someone the fair and deserved completion of an ordinary quest. I’ve played with hundreds of people in NW already, and only been teamed a few times, and in most of the examples, the teaming was only to get around quirks of quest reward mechanics, where I or another player needed credit for a quest and wouldn’t have easily gotten it except for being temporarily teamed. It’s possible greatly enjoy the social and multi-player mechanical interactions without being on a team with other players doing specialized content designed for teams. It’s not playing solo to not want to team with people.
This is an open world and I get to make the decisions in who I do or don’t play with and if the mechanics of the game don’t allow me to follow a progression line, well it will definitely make me think about whether or not I will buy the next game that company produces. This isn’t football or some other sport with rules that are enforced. Yeah - I have console games and pc games and have played since before there were PCs, played in arcades (and even before arcades), that doesn’t keep me from playing new forms whether multi or single or spending money on games I consider worthwhile and I surely don’t want to be told by people who didn’t pay for my game how I should play it or how it’s “meant” to be played. I say bring up issues, make the game immersive but also responsive to various play styles and don’t worry about how someone else ‘should’ play it or re-direct them to other games which they either have played or probably own anyway. I’m not convinced that would be the kind of feedback they’re looking for. Besides, to me it seems that game makers would like to make some money from games and if the assessment of their game by those who play(ed) to those who haven’t is: sure, if you like wasting money, buy it. What better than to have people who have played video games of all kinds, including these kinds, from the beginning and might have some useful insight. Things can and should be improved, at least according to all of those ‘new and improved’ commercials. Enjoy the game, sure - let it go forward, yeah, with suggestions, They asked we gave. Enjoy the game as it is and let it go forward
