I actually feel like AA's ruined the game for me (despite the fact that I miss many of the AA abilities I had).
My reasoning:
I quite enjoy leveling up all sorts of different characters. Once AA's were introduced, (especially after POP AA's) every time I decided to play an alt instead of my main I was essentially letting my main character fall behind the curve and it felt like shit.
The thought of essentially leveling up forever makes me sick. When I hear about people playing today with 5000+ AA's I literally want to barf and am so glad I quit the game when I did.
I enjoy having a high cap on things.
I like being able to semi-retire a character.
Save it for raids, helping out guildies, exploring new quests or whatever.
I enjoy having the time to play a different character and not feel like I'm gimping my main by doing so.

Luckily a couple years ago SOE realized what this curve was like so now it is much easier to get AA.
Your first 750aa now are on a curve where you get them extremely fast, after that it levels out to normal speed.
However, with how much XP you gain per kill at max level now, you can easily gain 8-16aa an hour with a good group, and this was 1.5years ago when I quit. Or maybe that was even in a 1/2 hour...hard to remember exactly.
