You can bicker with me all you want, I stand by my statement, whether you like it or not.
I grew up on games like EQ/XI. I have no interest in MMO's going back to that crap of forcing you to no life the game for even the most basic things like leveling up. Old school XI could take almost a year to reach level cap and then you had to constantly farm resources just so you could use those resources to force pop a world boss that could be stolen by another group.
