>So whats the appeal of mmos for the giga casual?

Ruining someone else's fun.

>The Battleship player that doesn't angle.

>The CV player who free xp'd his carrier and doesn't know how to manually drop.

>The Destroyer that didn't take Concealment Expert

>The IJN DD who tries to shoot people

>The Scharnhorst that shows broadside despite having Turtleback armor

Gradually, I began to hate casuals.

The social aspect.

>I will always remember during Mists of Pandaria where Blizzard banned anyone using a bot designed to auto silence spellcasters in PVP and it also caught thousands of these giga casuals who were using it to do their entire rotation in raids because "how the fuck am i meant to do a rotation AND not stand in shit in raid finder!? thats literally impossible!"

like they were only using a silence spell all the time? I just started playing Wow wrath in private servers & havent reached endgame yet, so maybe I dont get it well, but thats what im reading. If true, how the hell no one toke notice of it during raids?

The Multiplayer aspect. It's more of a social thing than an entertainment thing for them.

How people still play these games when they are obviously designed with freemium addiction tactics.

These games are not made for your enjoyment. The fact that you can derive fun from them is your own handicap

Star Trek Online is the ulimate giga casual game.

You'll hit max level in 2 days. The progression is actually pretty fun up until you realize it's ulimitely pointless and there is no end game. Everything is story content and none of it is difficult or requires teamwork or multiple players at all. All content is designed for a single player.

The end-game is nothing but an endless grindfest, but not the usual sort. STO end-game is ship collecting for ships that have no purpose but visuals because none of the content you play is difficult. Whales buy these ships, which is the ulimate point of the game, or you can instead grind, but you can only grind about an hour a day per character before you hit the currency cap, which means grinding equates to having 15 characters if you are a "hardcore" grinding type of person. Grinding means running the exact same super easy PVE queue with 4 other random players 50 times per character per day. Most people just quit the game at this point, except for the goodest of goys who stay and prefer to instead purchase ships for $60 a piece; and they come out with new ships every week or two.

also once your grinding goal is achieved and you now have all the hot dogs / currency enough to buy that new shiny ship; you buy the ship, and then continue to run the exact same super easy PVE queue with it to purchase the next ship, and repeat this cycle until you kill yourself or quit the game.

Elder Scrolls Online.

The overworld is pretty fun. Best MMO for exploration, but it's very easy. The only challenge comes from trying to solo public and instanced dungeon and Cyrodiil PvP.

Go shill your shit elsewhere todd.

This is the last place to be bitching about casuals in MMOs, it's utterly lousy with them.

No sub but microtransactions out the ass. And ESO was by Zenimax and some slave one-trick pony company, Bethesda and Todd had nothing to do with it.

You can only blame yourself for playing W*rg*ming.net games.
