Overview
After playing New World for nearly four weeks and reaching maximum level 60, Daniel feels bored, empty, and ready to quit.
A severe decline in the player base left high-level zones empty and server queues completely gone by the third week.
Frustrations with dungeon tanking mechanics, including long taunt cooldowns and DPS pulling aggro, combined with toxic group interactions, ruined the experience.
Daniel prefers casual play over toxic PvP and high-pressure endgame PvE, opting to stop playing after being satisfied with current character gear and achievements.
