I sympathize with part of you post. For those of us who are used to the more fleshed out, single player video games, this mmo-style game play comes off as less then fulfilling because everything seems to be shelled and hollow. On top of this, the story (if there is one) is stretched out to great proportions because it needs to sustain months of game play.

Mmos are not as hollow as people perceive. There is a lot of freedom in how your character and story develops so you have the freedom to insert your own mythos into your character.

I too have moments in which I am starving for something more sustainable then the mmo, and that's when I shift gears and play an old single player rpg or read a good book. They refuel my imagination.

I'm not sure if you're just burnt out of the mmo experience. But if you're just tired of it all in general and don't agree with anything I have to say...then I guess the single player experience really is for you.

I remember when people said XIV ARR won't be a grind because it uses Quest Based leveling instead of monster grinding and FATES "will change the genre forever."

[DNO]

This game is not 3 years old you are wrong. release date was 8/27/2013... that's 2013!

true gamers like myself will tell the truth and will get flammed.

This actually made me lol. I'm not going to flame you for your opinion but you need to realize what a true gamer is. This generation hasn't bred any "True Gamers" that I have seen. Go back to the games that began this entire MMO community and you'll see what I mean.

Grinding has been a part of every MMO in history. Whether you are grinding levels, grinding gear, or grinding keys to access higher stuff to grind more gear. It's grinding and it always has been. Now you want to complain about grinding? Even WoW is full of grinding. Hello Valor points for gear along with not 1, not 2, but 3 different raid difficulties to do each week on the SAME content?!

Judgements are being passed on a game not even 2 months old yet like they should be up to WoW standards. Well newsflash, WoW was worse then this at launch. Most people just don't know that because they didn't start playing until it was dumbed down to no end causing us, "the true gamers", to quit because it was mind numbingly easy and pointless outside of Heroic raiding.

So no I won't "White Knight" for SE as this game does have issues that need to be fixed but I will tell you that your entire opinion is either flawed or you jumped into an MMO for the first time expecting it to be a FPS or something.

You should try ginding for a legendary on GW2. This game compare to that is nothing.

[Strelnikov]

I'm also so glad that there is still at least SOME grinding in MMOs. The OP is attempting to use colorful adjectives and misleading prepositions to ilicit and emotional response while at the same timeofferign an intolerant opinion with little to no flexibility for discussion. How ya like them apples?

Love apples! Love them more when they come from the heart, with a side order of context, not canned talking points. He has a valid point although this forum is perhaps not the place to make it. How do we make games that bring people together in a way that supports the classes, not create animosity between them?

How do you show advancement through levels without it becoming mind numbing repetition of dungeon runs, that no one enjoys. When does challenge become chore? Not this game, but some game needs to think about this.

The gaming population seems to have changed. We need a different carrot, and maybe even a different stick.

Every MMO has grinding content at some point or another and to be fair the grinding in this game isn't that bad as other MMOs.

This actually made me lol. I'm not going to flame you for your opinion but you need to realize what a true gamer is. This generation hasn't bred any "True Gamers" that I have seen. Go back to the games that began this entire MMO community and you'll see what I mean.

I wonder what would happen if he played Ragnarok Online before renewal or tried to farm for a legendary on GW2. xD

[Thunderz]

the world must know....that MMO's have grind at level cap

:/

Even CoD is a grind! Gotta get that Prestige!
