I am fine with competition, I just don’t think that we need accolades for gaming. I think in the end the whole achievement thing actually ends up working to stifle the creativity in games that I think makes mmos fun. It creates a box that you must work within, and if you go outside of it to do something new, you are accused of cheating people from these achievements. I believe that this whole quest nerf debacle proves this point.
It’s fine that there is a race to get to max level fast, but the whole yellow text/ name on p99 wiki thing set up a pretense where it created a “right and wrong” way of going about it.
