    its old generation versus new generation !!

    Its the generation brought up on WOW, LOTR and other similar MMOs Vs Ragnarok, FFXI, Everquest.

    Lets face it us old gens just like a challenge and a some feeling of achievement

    the new gens wantr content content content and gear gear gear !! - its a reflection of the change in societal values, could u seriously imagine life without constant internet access on your phone or the brand new app from the I store.

    Its sad but true.

    Im an old gen, I like my grind and my community and banding together for random made up quests like lets try and take down a lvl 80 creature or lets run lvl 1 through a high level area. nope theres no gear reward or dungeon bit of kit or money. its simply a good laugh with your linkshell.

    the reason this game may fail is because the new generation doesnt want to play with other people they want to be better then other people.

    Just my thoughts

    I personally think the worst thing about a server-spanning system is that going to instances becomes TOO easy. Whilst I'm not a fan of excessive waits and inconvenience, I think making instances the main source of content for the game is an equally awful situation.
    In that situation (and the same in WoW to the extreme), the dev team spend AGES making amazing zones and then proceed to put nothing but pointless little quests in them and no future content outside of dungeons.

    It's absolutely a community and (god I really don't want to use this word) immersion killer, compare it to FFXI where up until Abyssea and the cap raise (and game decline) people were travelling all over the world for various different things.

    Yes, we should have dungeons. But they should feel special and like a semi-unusual occurance, not the standard way to play the game. Bring us NMs, storylines, overworld content and endgame zones preaze (not just levels to get the last couple of levels ala. wow, really dangerous zones containing the toughest NMs and really good equipment! Mor Dhona would sort of be a good place for this at this point)

    This is very true. I'm definitely an Old gen myself (started with AoL Neverwinter Nights and UO... O.O). Though I'm willing to make compromises for what I want. I just wish the New gen would be willing to do the same. But they've been brought up with this over-inflated sense of self-entitlement, so it makes it difficult a lot of the time.
