freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I could be missing something ig (bad luck, effort put in and the like) just from my perspective, which defo probably jaded, I don't think gbf deserves that moniker. ofc telling someone to do a 30 hour grind outright is not a good way to go, but gbf doesn't work that way usually. 001
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 18/09/2026in the context of gbf, 30 hours is what i'd assume is the absolute max hours spent on any given piece of content, which that time can be spread across a time frame of around a month and a half (intermin time between GW). If it's a hobby you make time for, I feel like it's not that much overall? 100
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 18/09/2026still yearn for DQ9 esque post game 100% game completions cuz holy fuck that was addicting 000
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 18/09/2026i think the modern gamers has lost the joy in the effort of accomplishing long term goals, or just working towards something methinks. can't really blame them when a lot of game design nowadays is geared towards instant dopamine and catharsis. It's a real gem games like osrs or gbf still exist 110
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 18/09/2026is it toxic of me to scoff at the idea of people calling gbf "grindblue fantasy" or "second job" when the average grind that any player is expected to do (farming weapon grids, GW for rewards, etc.) don't even exceed 30 hours if you put even a small amount of attention to it? or am i jaded lol 200
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 03/09/2026and then these people wonder why guides and/or the people who're (usually more than) willing to help new players stop existing in public social media platforms... wow funny how things tend connect as a series of consequence right? 010
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 03/09/2026i think also people really tend to overexaggerate how hard reaching rank cap is and calling people who are capped "no lifers" is not gonna make anyone who care about the game more sympathetic towards your frustrations 110
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 03/09/2026i think as a final thing cuz i saw the fallout of this on twitter is that i don't envy the people trying to explain this concept to people who genuinely don't want to look at the situation objectively lmfao. 110
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 01/09/2026put some respect to their name tho M3 is considered Impossible tier difficulty by games standards :)))) 000
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 01/09/2026or i guess if being kicked out of coop rooms bother u so much just go to rank cap lmao 000
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 01/09/2026conversely sometimes you see people bragging about doing x content with low ranks like it means anything lmao like sry but ur r270 light faa0 solois not that impressive when everyone knows how trivial the chars in that element makes that specific fight tl;dr don't take this rank shit personally 300
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 01/09/2026sometimes i see those tweets of people taking the rank exclusion personally when they're kicked out of coop. i think people just need to understand that rank is just the most available indication of to how "good" you cuz more you play = more likely you know the games content = higher ranks 100
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 16/08/2026payila vs mars ketsu battler ft. bubz and wilnas 000
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 12/08/2026didn't think the day would come but i'm now on the right side of the bell curve where i think solomonis is just pure game of chance no i'm not salty i lost 5 runs in a row cuz zone 2 spawned on the other side of the map 010
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 07/08/2026colosseum really feels like jagex trying to cram as much bullshit rng into one piece of content and justified it because it was short. hope the next bis cape wave based content is like the inferno, maybe like 30-40 waves and none of the stupid high max hits or invocations 000
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 07/08/2026but if we have to be semantic, saying "f2p" and adding gacha weapons is just bad and misleading labeling and i'm more inclined to agree with that. 101
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 07/08/2026gbf is in that gray zone 'cause i can probably justify saying gacha weapons in magna grids can be considered "f2p" since planning your rolls to spark enough (and the free rolls) per year can make a lot of those grids relatively achievable. so getting mad at that specifically is a weird case lol 100
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 07/08/2026if anything i think it these kinds of terms just gives more people reasons to complain or find excuses to not do certain content: i.e i don't have this m3/odious weapon therefore i can't farm x content or do x raid 100
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 07/08/2026i get why these kinds of categorization exists since it does help people understand what level of progression they're at, but at the same time, what content you can/looking to tackle usually is a better indicator (methinks). Could always just say "f2p" to refer to all these magna and adjacent imo 100
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 03/08/2026oh yeah and also make it money maker for some fucking reason so people can get burnt out and not enjoy the content cuz they have to sacrifice their entire bank since the mobs also max hits for 500 damage even tho some waves are literally impossible without taking damage genius jagex 1000 upvotes 000
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 03/08/2026really is a incredible game design choice to make a bis cape locked behind bullshit rng fest so redditors that get skill gapped in the inferno can get bis by bashing their heads in against a slot machine 100
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 03/08/2026i hate colo i hate colo i hate colo i hate colo i hate 100
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 27/07/2026it's always the same old question of whether the people complaining actually care about playing the game or if it's all performative to get some street credit (lol) 060
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 27/07/2026pretty funny seeing the videos of people limiting their starter set ups for Solomonis runs because some rando dude complained about not having x y z thing despite being at a point progression where they've unlocked transcendence for evokers lmao.... 161
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 22/07/2026for now i think i just go back to pet hunting in osrs yep 000
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 22/07/2026maybe i might do water if i can get my ass to unlock and level up WO xd... didn't expect to enjoy this content as much as did tho. seriously considered playing again just for this (but there's too much shit i don't wanna do anymore like GW or worry about banners) 100
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 22/07/2026getting consistent wins on solomonis now this shit is actually so addicting lmao. people defo overexaggerate the grid locks and shit, if anything chars matters a lot more and you can control that to some extent. you also probs want to have 2 damage sources if you don't giga lucksacc builds 020
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 22/07/2026not me actually unlocking origin classes to make solomonis runs better no that can't be i retired what am i doing.... 010
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 21/07/2026brought me back just to play a rougelike ssg but i won't actually come back 010
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 16/07/2026like i think it's a pretty easy to understand that destroy mechanics are a "a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation". telling people to not use the mechanic is completely ignoring the mental/nagging feeling that you could be using the mechanic 000
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 15/07/2026starting to kind of understand how UIMs feels when people talk out of their ass about the game mode now that non-pet hunters are giving their takes on the destroy mechanic lmao 100
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 16/06/2026like end of the day, whether companies push aggressive monetization in their games is a question of when, never if. And it's always on the consumer to make that choice for themselves if its worth the buy-in methinks. so i think complaining about normalization is missing the point idk 000
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 16/06/2026you tend to realize that people who complain about monetization methods in gacha games are people who would've never interacted with them in the first place (f2ps) and/or casuals where the existence of them wouldn't meaningfully change their experience with the game overall 100

freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Generally speaking, knowledge and being able to apply that knowledge into making grids/parties/rotations. Then for specific content it could be: GW: Menuing to reducing downtime between raids, being able to achieve high honors/hr as a result HL content: adlibbing rotations in speedruns or carries 000
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 23/05/2026an anime/manga/ln/vn book club would be kind of cool but idk how many people nowadays really care about taking animanga (and adjacent) works seriously as a piece of art rather than a lower form of entertainment (which i assume is the dominant paradigm currently) 000
freesymphonia.bsky.social @freesymphonia.bsky.social · 07/05/2026FA was probably the worst update GBF has rolled out and it's not even close, and it gets worse every year lol. 010
