ARR often feels very contradictory in its design (long)

[Ri_ri]

You fail to understand that for most fates you can run up to the boss, engage, walk to the fridge to get something to drink, walk back hit one or two keys, watch some tv and get gold? Engage and fire off a skill or two and get gold. There is no stragegy, there is no team work. Whack something for 1-3 minutes and win.

That is only possible in a group. And leeching off the contribution of your party is not cool. You can also go auto-attack in CT and get loot for it... doesn't means you should do it.

As for "whacking something for 3 minutes", I still don't see how that's worse than having someone exp-tap mobs or talking to NPCs and getting levels for it.
