What this game needs is NOT more dungeons

[Xairos]

I appreciate the thoughts behind this thread, but remember, we ushered in the way for ARR to exist by not voting with enough dollars supporting 1.23. The MMO genre is in a weird state of "gimme" right now because they are no longer treated as "another world", they are treated as games. Games you can maybe play with other people. That ambiguity has taken away much of what we "old school" players loved about old mmos.

I mean take a look at any new game that comes out in the MMO genre.

1) people will say it HAS to have endgame (this is a complete shift from our old ways of thinking and playing)

2) people will say it HAS to be innovative and new (this is hard on developers because how can they just come up with 100% new feel for a genre that is steeped in a typical foundation of quest > level > gear > etc.; if they change it too much then it's no longer an MMO)

3) people say it HAS to have what they consider standards in today's mmos: Mounts, Housing, (developer made) Content, Dungeon Finder system (you wouldnt believe the amount of people who view this a standard now). etc.

ARR could implement more of a "another world" feel to the game, but it won't be anytime soon. SE needs to see stabilization of their game first before experimentation.

*when i say "another world" I mean a game where things take time comparable to the world we live in.
