I can’t even make myself play OPR anymore…so besides daily chest runs there is nothing. So many bows using aimbots now
I can’t really agree with these points. Resources like iron are super cheap and easy to get now. I typically run past iron nodes and see others do the same. Low-tier mats are no longer the limiting factor in crafting, so WW/EF proximity to these things isn’t as critical as it was during launch.
Also, at end-game people are mostly travelling to Ebonscale, Reekwater, and the 3 northern territories that no one can own. You can own houses in Ebonscale, Reewater and Brightwood or Mourningdale and get to these key locations easier and with higher efficiency than from WW/EF.
I think the issue is that people “set up shop” in WW/EF because of its ease of access to new players. They bought houses and established a way of navigating, trading, crafting there and just haven’t wanted to change. It’s not really optimal to do everything in WW/EF at this point in the game’s life, but think people are reluctant to abandon their houses and playstyle and move to other zones.
If you could sell your house and get your money back from the purchase, think WW/EF would see massive loss in income. Other small changes from AGS could also achieve this. But then everyone might start complaining that Ebon and Reek (or whatever the new hot towns are) owners have too much influence, money, power, etc. So ultimately, it’s not he town locations, but many other integrated systems that are the issue.
I’ll play when they fix my faction rep so I can spam dungeons 30 times each in a month
edit: even if there’s not really any reason for me to go
I highly doubt it, the system perpetuates the problem. I want my house in a place where I can do all of my refining cooldowns at once. The only towns on my server that can afford to keep all the crafting stations at T5 are WW and EF. Why would I move even if I could?
Guess that depends on the server. On mine (Yggdrasil) there are plenty of territories with T5 stations. There are towns outside of WW/EF that are fully T5 upgraded (outside of maybe 1 station).

Outpost rush PVE, sometimes I run it solely focused on upgrading the bases and summoning things. I find it quite enjoyable seeing everyone get flattened by meatballs lol.
This post really hit home for me. It’s exactly how I feel when I login sometimes. This only happened after my server merged. Prior to the merge I was able to get into wars and invasions regularly.
fret not, i have the solution for you.
dont log in and save yourself the daily 30 mins of dissappointment.

After the server merges when 5 servers merged unto mine, almost the entire map is full of bots 24.7. The other day I was trying to farm some trees around 7AM EST as I was standing there waiting till they respawned I saw 3 Bots go from empty node to node withing the respawn time. they killed easy the level 50 Gators in the area… I logged out and since then only log in to sell my 10 Asmod daily.
Farming any area isn’t worth the time/effort because of the 6 servers full of bots merged into 1. And AGS doing nothing about it. Will not play serious again till they do something about it.

I used to play for at least a few hours per day or however my time was allowing me but now i do not even have any incentive to do the refining cooldowns for asmodeum, phoenixweave and runic leather. Actually, i have considered that it is probably better to not do them at all so that i will not get back to the game and get my daily dose of disappointment.
By the way, they could make it so that the refining cooldowns would reset every day at 6AM in the morning like many other games instead of having a fixed 24hours cooldown.
The bots also massively ruin this game but it seems to not be a problem.
I typically login gather my 3 diamon gypsum. Get my emerald gypsum, run the train and then i will log off the game or do some crafting till i get off

Unfortunately that wouldn’t work. As a crafter you need to have a house in WW/EF because they are the only ones with buffs active because they have income. You need those buffs or you significantly reduce your chances of creating anything good. On top of that at this point people have significantly higher territory standing in those zones. E.g. I get 35% reduced taxes on trading post etc and grinding that up again seems terrible. And the biggest thing is even if a large portion of the player base migrated, windsward, everfall etc would still make a ton of money because all the bots list their sales from those locations. There are too many compounding factors that without a complete wipe make those locations better.

brightwood has a lot of iron around it, and we is not that central.
its more just, ww and EV have high early adoption, for some of the reasons you mention, and its generally not worth it to change your home area. Players invested a lot in town buffs, and 5-20k for a house that you can’t get back.
also, this game makes success feed itself.
they got the most money, the best crafting tables, generally owned by dominant factions(which means better teleports)
I’m gonna try farming the armorers hat for another 20 hours. 2 people I was with got it yesterday. Perhaps after 40 hours of killing the same boss over and over I might get it.
Or, maybe not.
Yup.
Yup.
Yup, taxation is fucked and I haven’t seen one response on it from AGS.

The Expertise system needs to go. Add pvp and pve content. Such as Roman dungeons. Roman towns etc… it’s part of the story. Add single player content. Dungeons with rewards. Add more coin rewards for town missions. Players ranking fast. Who cares. MMO players love to grind but make it worth the time. So Players buying gear at the trading etc. post instead of crafting it. Who cares. Crafters make a profit. Let crafters craft, make the stuff available. Not a month quest for some weird rock. Change up the corruption. Pay more fighting corrupted areas. Make one and two player Dungeons. Not everyone plays in a group. Reward groups with higher drops in activities etc.

I went off to play FF14 for a month and came back. New World still is a mess and unfun for me.
While people still play this massive pile of garbage, they will continue doing what they do best: Nothing
Or maybe add more time gaping content or something
Why would I run “puG” expeditions that get wiped many times that take a lot of time to MAYBE finish, just to get sorry ass loot because my expertise scores are around 525 also having to teleport to the instance,
Need dungeon finder
Need to get rid of keys.
Need to get rid of Bots
Need to get rid of Expertise system.
Need to get rid of me.
