It’s definitely not a publicity stunt. I don’t know if you’ve ever played the game, but it is soul-crushingly grindy because leveling is the game. It’s been around for almost 20 years and ever year they make it more and more pay to win.

So why didn’t he stop playing at level 100 or 200 or whatever but waited with this rant until almost level 300 in a stream with large attention? Pure coincidence? To me it looks like he wanted to go out with a bang and rage bait.

The game has exponential level growth. The amount of time it takes to go from level 1-250 is like the same as the time it takes to go 298-299…Everyone has a breaking point.

Per 2 hours even! Makes that 1500 hours

187 days of playing 8 hours a day. That’s insane.

Oh damn, that’s even worse! Thanks for the correction, I edited my edit 😝

Exponential growth means that you would level up faster and faster at an ever increasing rate.
Perhaps you mean logarithmic growth, where the rate of increase keeps slowing down?

The exp required to level up increases exponentially, not the amount you earn

No, I dont and if you truly need to be pedantic, a logarithmic curve makes even less sense. It’s a generally linear experience curve with each level being about 20-30% more than the previous, but the number get exceptionally large after a while. Level requirements aren’t scaled based on time required, they’re scaled on number experience points required.
