Nothing wrong with playing how you want, but I have a hard time understanding why you are not playing WoW instead of EQ with that mindset... you certainly exhibit the characteristics of almost everyone in my old WoW guild.

No offense, just an observation and opinion. WoW is a good game too, for people that like that sort of thing.

As for you liking the challenge of doing the hard stuff, I can respect that.

Honestly not much of a reason other than EQ is less time consuming during the grind. The two games are not really different at all. They're timesinks where you watch numbers slowly go up. I actually think EQ is ALOT easier once you know the game mechanics. cheal chains and watch aggro and you can spank-n-tank any old world mob pretty easy. yawn. EQ was challenging when no one knew the game mechanics, before all the quests were posted online, before every classes ideal cookie-cutter gear became widely known, and because of bugs and other players. With all that stripped away, EQ is a really simple game honestly.

I like EQ more because the leveling processes is: "kill 2 mobs, afk 10 minutes to do laundry and study". I am more productive around the house and get more done when playing solo classes in EQ than virtually any other time. Yay downtime [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

wow is "click click click click CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK" for 8 hours straight. I like a game I can play while I can watch TV or read a book unless I'm grouped with guildmates or friends. wow does not facilitate that.
