Yes the devs want to kill DDO and they seem to be doing a great job of it.I believe they want you to try another of thier games which you will probably come to hate.I love dungeons and dragons which is why I play,best fk'n game ever man!Changing existing quests and making them harder while nerfing the loot is just thier way of encouraging plat buying from them on the side so the can hypocritically ban your account if you do.I remember when a +5 stat item was minimum level 9 without racial requirements.I can't believe that by making it harder the devs think I will continue being interested,because I am quickly losing interest,I mean whats the use of a weird spell(mass pk) if it doesnt ever work?Should I waste my time on lower level quests just for the satisfaction of getting my spell to hit?Red named boss mobs that are immune to everything is narcisitic unless of course you can dispel thier immunities,then it just becomes a challenge which is fun.Last thing I hate about quests are the quest objectives list.You shouldn't know that until you figure it out!
