You missed this one

Edit: How many deal breakers must he have before he leaves?

So at this point can we not just derail these threads to being locked?

You like leveling slowly, don't you Rokien? This should make you happy then, grinding mobs will be the slow way to level.

Still don't get how grinding on dodos in a field for 50 levels is more "hardcore," "intelligent," or "skillful" than story-driven content such as quests. Quests that actually give you interesting, varied tasks to do that directly involve you with the in-game world, the people of each area, their struggles, their history, and so on. So that each new area you explore means something more than "there's a really nice colibri camp over in this corner."

It's not about skill full or anything, people enjoy it, and nobody is going to do normal exp parties if quest grinding is faster.
Sure I will do normal exp parties IF I can get a party.
But Masa it would be impossible to do if I can't get said party. Also, just look at star wars, its purely quests and it's going free to play.

I just want parties to be on par with those quest grindingness. That's not much to ask.

Also sure, there will be quests with parties no duh, but the only reason why you would need a party in a quest would be to kill a boss. They are going to make it solo friendly but if you wanna do quests together you may.

"It was this way in FFXI, therefore it is the best way." This is what I hear from most of Rokien's threads.

But if so many people love exp parties as you claim, then they will be willing to form parties regardless of lower exp, and if no one but you and a few others like them more than quest chaining, then I'd say it was a good decision on SE's part.

All I hear is "The devs are doing this and I'm making a thread to complain about a system I have no info about".

Rokien posted this thread.

All of you should know better than to actually respond.

We hope to flame on him until he withers into a soldering pile of bombard ash. Really though it would be nice if we could all agree to not post on dumb threads but seeing as how the lewd thread and final boss is too hard thread are still going I fear we're hopeless.

Star wars isn't going F2P because of quests. It's because the end game wasn't sufficient enough.
