Which is basically what "quests" are... instant XP by pressing a button.
You forgot WoW allows ad-ons that tell you when, how, and why to do something.
Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

Worse than the Epics in EQ? I think it was the Shaman one that could drive somebody to murder.

They get bored way too easily and lack the discipline!
How in the living hell can you call playing the drop lottery grind as being disciplined? Again, that's NOT what I said. LEARN TO COMPREHEND ENGRISH.

Ironically, the Asians use English better than the Americans in MMOs... They tend to be able to spell words like "you" and "are"... Americans keep misspelling such simple words....

I don't see Shadowbane as a flop at all. it was a game for a certain type of player, that lasted for over 6+ years. Pure PvP. that is all the game was based on, and I have seen no game since that had PvP machanics to match. No game since has held my attention for PvP. everyone else has gone to the CC breaks, (which are utterly worthless, with 2 min CD's) instead of putting Immunity for a certain amount of time after you were stunned.

A lot of people don't like going around automatically flagged for PvP, which was what that game was, no PvE servers. If any game would go back and use the same Stun/immunity machanics as shadowbane, i'd be far more interested in doing PvP.

Except operating shadowbane for 6 years bankrupted both Wolfpack Studios, and then Stray Bullet Games, which bought the IP from the bankrupt wolfpack studios...

Ah, I see. You just want to hate the United States of America. That's fine.

That still doesn't explain your lack of comprehension.

Look up the word immersive at www.dictionary.com Hope that helps, and I doubt you'll find that word associated with the word "easy", or "undisciplined".

I'm guessing you haven't seen Funcom's investor report then.
