Well, nice feedback, thanks and congratulations! You have some valid points but you will allow me to exchange some different opinions, mostly not because i want to have a disagreement but because i have seen things from a “more” general view!
Before i start i will say that Conan exiles is not a game that demands great fighting skills when it comes to pve, but knowledge, patience and why not cunning and bravery. So i think devs represent the name Conan in this game!
Hello i am stelagel 
Please to meet you m8
. Every title i play must be played in the hardest category because ONLY then you respect- understand ALL the work devs did in this game.
Lucky you
! I won’t counter to this because it would sound like bragging, but i will say that even these hours are more than enough to represent this feedback of yours. You could make this feedback even with 500 hours! So this was not necessary, you can hide it on your post if you wish it’s unnecessary!
Yes it’s true, from day one i played this game i said this a lot of times. But the game keeps updating and changing. Some updates i like, some others i digest harder than i should, but i keep rolling, so we’re good i guess. Yet allow me to tell you what i do all these years. I dream out loud in here and many of my dreams came true
. Not my way but their way, yet it works just fine for me. So stick around exile, we need you!
Yea, i really hope it will remain this way, but heads up nonetheless!
Well, don’t get me wrong here, but this is a “weakness” of fully understand the game and why some mechanisms work the way they do. Like i said countless times in here after 2.4 i haven’t played pvp anymore. And even if i played pvp in this game i never embraced the general pvp mindset. My goals even in pvp servers was always the happiness of online gaming and “difficult pve” .
Keep in mind that in pvp and pve-c servers you harm your followers and your teammates, so there’s NO spamming on team fights, every attack must be done swift and careful giving a different beautiful taste on pve! Then again the thrill of returning to your base safe and find a base untouched
, puts more taste in this game. These are experiences pve cannot give my dear friend. I am just speaking for these because the list of pvp fun and mechanics is huge and pve so far cannot even think of! Trust me, it worth the shot, play pvp!
This and many other “farmings” mostly existed for pvp reasons. Age of sorcery gave a good reason of grey lotus on pve too.
I believe this game has the best building system i’ve played so far and by far the best builders i’ve seen so far. The building community of Conan exiles is huge and it holds the humongous percentage of “pve players”. Pc and mods have taken building to a whole different level, but even the non mod builds have nothing less, the creativity this building system has, still after all these years have seen no ceiling, it is still rising non stop!
I love horses but i don’t funcy riding them in this game. The freedom i have on sprinting, climbing, swimming, cannot be replaced by horses. Maybe because i learned the game this way, maybe because horses are no flexible and the terrain is full of traps for horse riding, i prefer to role play with horses than actually use them as my main transportation way.
Like i said in the beginning, pve fighting in this game is not based on skills but in knowledge and patience. Now the reason this is happening i cannot say for sure. But i believe it falls to the age that this game is addressed. We have a Full nudity game, with survival aspects, building mechanisms, open world based on the “power of knowledge” ! So no skills required actually. Like you said in the beginning…
So we come to the conclusion that this is a game for adults, that wants to play something interesting and creative and balance the challenge as they wish because the main goal is to relax and enjoy after all.
Exactly this! But i see nothing bad in it so far. My question is… How many times you lost until you come to this conclusion? 
So there is a “reward” after all from these “boring” npcs and world bosses!
Worth to be mentioned that every move set this game has from player till world bosses is constantly changing through the years, not a lot, but it changes. The age of sorcery was my best of all, because my toon was literally the greatest beast of all times. In this update, anyone could take a stick and kill everything in this game, all he-she needed was the knowledge you mentioned above.
But here’s a question? What do you think is the percentage of players that knows what you know about pve fighting? Is it so easy after all?
You know what? I will stop it here, i already said too many and they are not enough, since your post is wonderful and true to many, yet not so accurate but only for me.
Generaly i agree that it “needs more”, yet we are on the sidestep of a new update so i believe that it’s best to see the new content first.
Let’s hope we’ll download without issues and play without issues too
.
Nice to have you around exile, please stick around, thank you!
