General Discussion

Read some random crap on the internet about mmo's and why some people hate them with a passion. Some parts I was in agreement with, which surprised me cause usually I find trolls and their logic best observed through a two-way mirror, watched through a bloody camera fixed through a satelite feed, on the moon.

Anyway, one point they observed which I totally agreed with was the escort missions so many mmorpg's bastardized. I always skip them with a passion as I find grinding my teeths and staring at the pretty colours I see when I apply pressure to my eyes a more fun past time, cause the npc-AI was programmed by a retarded monkey with downs syndrome. Another thing is the useless tradeskills. What use will ANYONE ever have for some grey lowbie shit no-one even look at as even the newbie gear you start with is better?

 so true.

Auto-attack, static world, lack of AI, generic storylines, making MMOs more and more time consuming because they're unable to keep the player subscribed by just being fun.

Poor quality products just like a defective vehicle, and the patch just like a workshop. Good quality but lack of speed (contents) is not a high performance vehicle but keeps you running.

Biggest mistake in MMORPG? That's easy, NGE.

Here here, man.

And btw OP....only in the recent slew of raid-centric loot-whore games are crafted items useless.

Many mobs in AoC dont even have AI they just standing there like in a waxmuseum and its not some areas its about 70% of mobs npc's who are just waiting to be slaughter without any AI:P

Well it seems this ZOMBIEMODE works in wow they have millions of players who wanne play a game that lacks any intelligents, a 8 year old kid can play it:P

Ignoring trade skills.   Adding another path of advancement, a couple dozen more goals and mechanics to explore utterly and completely flushed down the toilet.

Biggest MMO mistake is reading forum posts about MMOs.
