    There are a lot of good players who don't want to just live in skeller. It's much too easy to get pinks & purples there.
    I think this whole "Elite few vs Casual Trash Many" is old, tiresome, and unfair.

    Casual is someone who plays a few times a week...

    A lot of us are on daily- just not as much as the elite few.

    Is there really no middle ground?

    hahahaha, it is a compliment. Not that I stalk your posts but whenever I see them they are to convey something and usually not spam or flaming.

    Good points on both sides, really. Can't wait to get home and try AO2....

    For my 2 cents, low drop rates. Even though I LOVE having awesome stuff, I like even more playing these types of games, and going after the good gear is just one more reason to play....

    I played WoW from Day One for a year solid, Shadowbane before that, simply had to quit I was so addicted. I was nowhere near my elite gear at that point, there was always something else out there I wanted to get. Ran some of the instances 2-3 times a night for several weeks trying to get the right drop, to never attain it.... (ahh, skin of The Beast, how i hate you to this day!)

    And yet, my gear was good enough to get by just fine. If you can take a full party into Swamps with all greens and oranges, and maybe one or two pink or purples total ... this game is just fine.

    As I said in another post -- when an elite, hardcore player deigns to join your party all tricked out in full pink gear, it should make a noticable difference.

    although i have to say that i do like the smaller drop rates. i dont think that the game is as fun when everyone has everything.
