Only thing I'd ever agree with Gath on is PvP truly does nothing for a game overall. Also yes, "Claim competitions" is actually something that was fun to do, it may not be fun for people in general because you either like or don't like it, much like I find PvP absolutely worthless to an MMO, I'd load up Street Fighter or Tekken if I want a fighting competition.

As said, the fun wasn't spamming your voke/dia macro and trying not to hit a Darter, the fun was rising your linkshell to the top and gearing your loyal members..you can gear yourself in MMOs now and feel almost nothing because there's zero competition, zero interaction, everything is instanced and you don't even play with people on your own server at times (Dungeon finder.)
