MMO Design flaw

yeah, just hardcores.... never mind that hardcore altoholics are the only ones being catered to. I'm thinking you haven't actually understood a lot of the posts in the thread.

If you do not like leveling then MMOs and RPGs are not for you. It is not a design flaw at all. Even Eve-Online use leveling it is just called training skills.

Best advise if do not like leveling play First Person Shooter (FPS)

Well, that's nice of you.

However, your thinking is incorrect. Just because I don't agree with you and see things differently does mean I don't understand the posts in this thread.

I agree. I think there should be 3 mmos, PVP, end game PVE, and levling.
Imagine if swtor had more then one zone for each level range for each faction; you could go through the game four times and never go through the same zone.

Imagine if Warhammer online was PVP only; I bee still playing it. PVP was great but grinding to get to level 50, not so much.

But i still think WoW does it perfect. Love the questing, the end game, and I play some pvp here and there. I have 10 level 50 and if I cancel my sub here (when my wife gets bored with swtor) I will probably get one of my other account back up.

Guild wars (PvP) - Secret World (PvE with no leveling) - SWTOR

There you go.
Guild wars got leveling, but it feels more like 'unlock system' of any modern multiplayer game.

Sums it up perfectly for me as well. Journey, not destination especially in MMOs. I've little to no interest in what passes as "level-cap" ("grinding" for better equipment and/or raiding).

First game I've felt that actually acknowledges the "journey not the destination" and I'm quite happy about that.

To that I say: Hurrah! We hard-core altoholics tend to stick with a game longer than the folk who hit level-cap and, understandably, get bored with doing the same thing again and again (raids, etc.). I've seen far, far more people complain about being bored at level-cap than I have being bored playing alts.

And THAT is where the design flaw lies. Most of the content becomes irrelevant. Very little is repeatable meaning there is very little to do and very little variety, and doesn't have the longevity to make it until next major content patches/expansion packs.

So that those who do like level-cap activities have some?

Players aren't all polarised you know. Some are more interested in the story, some are more interested in PvP/raiding, some (brace yerself) actually like BOTH.

Odd, I have plenty to do. In fact, I'm sitting here this morning with a cup of coffee trying to decide what to do and not from a lack of things to do but rather from having lots of options.

Content only become "irrelevant" if you are constantly striving for "what comes next" instead of enjoying "what is now".
