Endless Re-roll syndrome?

So your point is there's nothing to do at 60, once you're done farming loot?

Farming loot is one of the things you can do at 60.

The implication when you said there's no point to logging in your 60 because there's nothing to do, is that you haven't done anything.

There are challenging things to do at 60..

If your goals are trivialized by having cash then it sounds like you beat the game.

Obviously hit a sour note with you. I am very familiar with charm-soloing - I have been playing enchanter for over a decade now. I personally don't find the game very rewarding to play by myself. There are much harder, solo-player games out there than classic everquest.

I absolutely love leveling an enchanter. I love being in a group and saving us from a wipe. I love charming and providing more dps than the rogue.

Once I'm 60, there's no point to group like this, except to gain more cash from item drops. I can do it 'for fun', as well, but it ends up just being KC + Seb + HS always.

For me, my enjoyment comes from leveling in this game. Being OP as a monk or shaman, makes leveling more fun for me. Thus, I had a great time leveling my enchanter, got bored at 60, farmed several 100kpp, and made a bunch of alts to level on.

I'm sorry that you feel like I'm wasting my 60 enc. Honestly, if they hadn't banned account trading, I would have traded it away. I was in talks with someone right as they announced the ban, so it sits unused.

August and Locust are both correct within the framework of their own points of view. Both have valid opinions--theirs is a difference of preference, not of fact. I understand how it can feel like 60 is "game over" if you don't want to raid, but at the same time I also understand that for some folks hitting 60 simply means having one less thing to worry about.

The bottom line is that you have to play the game in a way that suits you as a player. If you want to dedicate to one character and push the limits of what you can do with it, do so. If you'd rather spread your time around half a dozen level 20 alts, then go for it. The only time you're "wrong" is if you find yourself spending weeks or months doing something you don't enjoy.

Agreed. Probably also affected by the fact that when RoK/Classic were out, my max level was 34. I only got into raiding at Velious end (think very end), Luclin, and PoP. My raiding nostalgia is from those periods, not this one. I've also had enough of raiding on Fippy/Sleeper from this era to last me another decade.
