I'm thinking I truly am a western MMO person at heart. I haven't really tried many eastern mmos besides Tera? And I didn't get past level 10 in that game, lol.

It would certainly be interesting to know more about the contrasts between the two themes. Without sounding too inflammatory. The only real stereotypes I hear about the eastern MMOs is that they like grinding and that they like micro-transactions and phone app stuff. (Which is why the app is apparently 4 stars popular in Asia, but 2 stars in America).
