How does PL'ing affect you?

It isn't flawed logic.

- The game is currently free to play, and levelling can be done in a microcosm of the normal time
- The game when monthly fee'd will mean I am paying to do what I could have done for free, and having a much more boring time of it

In other words, why pay for something you don't want to do, when you can do what you do want to do for free?

I am in no odds about what I enjoy in these games, crafting, endgame and community. Levelling is a horrible hump in my way to the stuff I want to do. I do it because I like to see full bars, not because I enjoy the levelling aspect, but everything else in an MMo is where my enjoyment lies.

Why would I wait for the game to be pay to play, just to do something I dislike, when I can do it super fast, and for free?

Just to give you perspective, of my 6 years played in FFXI, less than a year of that time was levelling. The other 5 years were taken up doing everything else, like meriting (this is an optional progression), storylines for all cities, CoP missions, RotZ missions, ToAU missions, WotG missions, Salvage, Assault, Dynamis, Beseiged, the large scale battles in the past who's names elude me, and literally thousands of hours of NM camping, HNM pop item farming, and HNM kills.

If you can honestly say that levelling makes up 75% of that content, then you need to revisit school, as you clearly don't understand %'s.

Comparing a single player driving game, to a massively multiplayer online RPG with a 24/7 living breathing world, filled with thousands of other players in real time.

I can do this too.

I have a cheese sandwich, but I don't want to eat it because I like playing Water Polo. Therefore I will kill this mosquito on my desk with my hand, and then talk about oranges.

See, makes as much sense as your comparison.
