I guess player knowledge is sort of the reason... I know what comes next, and I know that I want it. But I'm different because I care about levels and gear now, and I just didn't much in 1999. I thought tradeskills were fun and cool on Live. I think it has more to do with how much time I have and how valuable it is to me. Back then I didn't care if I sat there for an hour getting carpal tunnel, the stuff I could make and the achievement of doing it was its own reward.

I think a lot of it is that back then, I wasn't concerned about levels and gear. During beta I found the Freeport tunnels on my own and I thought that was the coolest shit ever. I remember the first time I explored the back of Steamfont, thought that was super cool too. And the first time I wandered up to chessboard in BBM? Dude that was awesome.
