Telling him to go play a shooter instead in 2000-2003 is... Not sure of the logic there.
I'm not telling him to go back in time and play a shooter instead of daoc, in fact I didn't tell him to do anything. I'm talking about playing an mmorpg today that is designed around PvP and deliberately avoids any type of meaningful PvE content. He asked me what was bad about it, and I explained why that kind of gameplay sounds terrible to me.
