>>51387933I've seen redditors throwing around that term way too much without understanding what it is, to the point it's now fully warped from the original meaning. It's supposed to be about making certain actions easier, it mostly relates to interface not gameplay mechanics.
Textbook example of QoL in Pokemon: adding a prompt to re-use a Repel once it runs out, without having to open up the menu. That's QoL.
Removing core mechanics (ie: having to gain exp to level up in an RPG) is not QoL.
Another hypothetical example, if they added a way to see the exact EV values in the UI, that's QoL. Removing the need to EV grind is not QoL, that's a game mechanic change. Easy to grasp but redditors are special, their upvotes reinforce mistruths in a loop.
