What is a clone? The UI is similar? You have instanced dungeons? Really what is clone like?

It's the MMO genre. Look at every FPS, looks at every fighting game. They play similar because that's how that genre is played. WoW wasn't the first MMO to have these elements. It's just what MMOs are. The ignorance is palpable in this thread. Christ.

And guess what, I don't play those games that don't try something different, I like originality, I get that you have to have some core things with each game, but why do the same thing that EVERYONE does. Seriously, quest grinding, mob grinding, instances(I don't know one mmo without an instance). Raise the bar a little bit ya? That's all I'm asking for.

Different isn't always a good thing. Every game as something that separates them from the rest, but the core things that make up a MMO, (Basic Core structure) is more of a Necessity. Storyline/Content/Music etc those things are the topics that "Should" be different. If they aren't different "then" I can say "wow this is a clone of X MMO".

I just feel like people misinterpret the term "clone". Somethings need to be "the same" or else it can fail miserably. If you try to invent something, you have to make sure it 100% works on the playing field it can't be a decimal off, or else you could lose millions of dollars on a possible failure.

One of the biggest fears I have about ARR is the quest system. I swear I don't know how much I will be able to take doing Kill XX/Collect XX quests for xp. It's one of the major reasons I don't play a lot of MMOs.

It's the same thing as Kill X Y Levels then go to Z camp and do it all over again. Its 95% the same thing. Kill 10 Dodos Randomly or killing 10 Dodos for a Quest.. there is no difference. @.@

There is, you don't have a feeling of, OMGS HAVE TO COMPLETE THE MAP!

It's more relaxing, also you don't have to do all the stupid leg work that you do on quests.

Relaxing? I like games "Engaging" You know that's just me though. I like things to do, to keep me busy, that's on reason why I play Aion, because I know somewhere on the map I have something to do.

You're a casual.

You're a casual.

I am a casual gamer, yet, I'm all for things that are not casual.

I never onced claimed that I was a "Hardcore" gamer, I've also said many times I'm a casual gamer that likes those "hardcore" things, like TIMESYNCES!
