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.

And I'm not even that much into PvP, but I love to do AB.

I quit after I bought some new consoles last christmas. I sort of miss it, it was by far the best MMO I've ever played.

All my friends are on Guild Wars so I switched over to that, no monthly fee helps a lot too though.

 

I was addicted to that for about 1 year, then the expansions started getting worse and worse.

I tried to like WoW, I really did. I am a FFXI addict, and I have lost many good and close friends in the game to WoW. I tried to like it, even though its better than FFXI in almost every way, I just can't stand it. On the MMO note. I have tried to get away from FFXI for so long. But I always seem to go back with every expansion or version update. I advise anyone to stay away from MMOs... they become addictions

I would have to fully agree with you and Akuma587. The game sucks ass and doesn't make sense. Plus FFXI is so much more fun and addicting. I had 'friends' who played WoW non-stop and talk like they are from another planet. Plus some of them never bathed, shaved or exercised AT ALL. They would skip class at college just to play WoW and do nothing else. Plus they annoyed the living hell out of me.

At least I still play FFXI in moderation. That game is awesome, and it's worth playing because of my friends who are still on it And I lost friends from FFXI to WoW, but that's like becoming an atheist if you were Christian.
