Gift of Hedone: Redundant Mechanics (Patreon)

Hello you lovely deviants,I wanted to create this form to get your feedback on aspects of a game or mechanics of a game you felt become redundant or obsolete the further you got into a game.For example, maybe the need for visiting the shop becomes irrelevant beyond selling items because the items stocked are just not worth it. Or you find using potions or buffs don't matter because you're now too strong so who cares.And then to those obsolete aspects, do you have any suggestions or how it could be turned into or change into something more useful - maybe a secondary use I also want to note I don't want any mechanic to feel like a chore or pain, but rather do my best to retain its use in reason.
