The biggest problem for me in live is that the game is broken. The character system.

No one expected the game to advance as it did when it was first designed so they didn't make it scalable. Then they started piling levels on and AAs and other shit to make it look like you had some kind of progression going. Your abilities now have abilities and you have to keep track of like three different kind of points it's ridiculous. The level and power spread is insane.

They never had the courage to just sit down and say look this is getting way out of control, let's re-do the character progression system to something that makes sense and is scalable. But they didn't want to upset the core so it is what it is. A giant mess.

Best bet is to just do a TLP and ride it out.

You actually keep track of less on live because mq is a given. Set it and forget it.

AAs are a non issue. They come so fast you will be maxed out before you finish progression tasks from the past 7 expansions.

xp is 10x faster now on those servers, you can level to max on aradune in a couple weeks casually

most stuff is instanced so you will get all the stuff you want faster then you would think but its boring, no pvp and people are babies
