[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 6061747"] So, your issue is more with the lethality levels of the game over time, you're using "Dragons" as the proverbial "teeth" of the beast and without those teeth the game becomes less appealing. More than the fact that games change, people change, and with it, the gaming market. 15 years ago MMOs wherein "death" meant your character was gone forever, or people looted your corpse of all the awesome gear you've acquired was quite acceptable, but then even within gaming, even MMOs were a niche market, just as 30 years ago TTRPGs were. Because of the small population compared to the number of games available, more games were able to say "here's our game, here's how it runs, love it or leave it." But now, with massive gaming populations, the players have the power to determine what the game is like, not just with their voices but with their purchasing power. The proverbial tables have turned.
