I think I'm done with MMO games in general until some developer comes up with a way of rewarding skill rather than focusing on an endless repetitive grind ... WoW was brilliant (at first) because they eliminated the grind until you got to level 60; unfortunately, then they decided to change the game to World of Everquest: Raiding and destroyed the game (in my opinion).

Have you tried to play Guild Wars? There is a level cap of 20, there is an armor cap, a damage cap on weapons etc.

Of course you still use various upgrades on your items, but all grind you do in this game is something you choose to do, all the expensive armors and weapons are purely for the looks.

You can start a PvP-character with max. lvl, armor etc. but you have to earn upgrades. You can unlock them with points won in PvP or by finding them in PvE.

You can only have a max. of 8 skills on you at any time, and each skill will be tied to an attribute. Every class has 4-5 different attributes, where there is one primary attribute. This attribute is only available for your primary class. When you choose a secondary class, you don't get access to the primary attribute.

I could go on, but I will stop here and say that is Guild Wars is one of the most skillbased online games on the market.

I got to lvl 28, then I simply couldn't take it anymore. It was so boring

Yeah, I really like the way they did PVP in GW. It's nice to be able to switch to a new char. to complete a team without having to grind the char all the way up to level 20. Plus, any skills you've unlocked in the game are unlocked for all your PVP chars and heroes.
