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.

I agree. I tried going back to eq a couple years ago and got tells asking how maney AA I had before I could find a group. I also remember feeling like I couldn't try a new class because I just needed 4 more aa for the next ability. It got old fast.
