But go ahead and assume I haven't played it yet. Because it's just so good that nobody can dislike it, right? I'm not paying $50 to find out that I don't like the last level of the game (ok, I'm sorry, the last FOUR levels . . .I didn't include the other three because they'd be exactly the same as the first 46.) I don't even like raiding, which is why I never focus on endgame as a measurement of a game's quality.

Good post. This highlights exactly why pretty much all newer MMORPG's are failing for my taste. It has become far too widely accepted, by both players and developers, that all the leveling in these games should be a cookie cutter cakewalk of quests or w/e to the max level. If I ever invest a lot of time in another new MMO, it'll probably be because first and foremost the devs attempted to have that game actually start at level 1, not the cap.

Can't really say anything the OP listed sounds good, just my opinion. I want a game that brings real innovation, not more of the same things that everybody else is doing because WoW rakes in ridiculous cash by doing them.
