Rant: Why create bad game design on purpose?

[Elfminster]

Here's some more ideas to create value through artificial scarcity.

Make every spell cost 1 billion mana and make the mana regen rate 1 tick per year.

That way mana will have value because it's so scarce.

Then people can feel special and exclusive as they stare at their scarce mana.

It's genius.

Here's another idea...

Remove all mobs except 1 and give it a respawn rate of 10 years and make it so that you need 1000 players to kill it.

Then the loot will have value and people can feel good.

You might get lag but because low pings will be scarce it means you will have value nonetheless.
