AAs ... gave you a reason to get online and get a group

Implying that one NEEDS something to progress to have a reason to log on.

No, implying that someone who wasn't content sitting on their ass while twiddling their thumbs doing nothing at all would have a reason to log in.

Progression isn't necessary to put an end to "sitting on your ass while twiddling your thumbs doing nothing at all"; your own motivation and reasons for playing are enough. They should be enough, at any rate, and I feel the success of EQ pre-Luclin would be proof enough of that fact.

For some people, yes, your own motivation and reasons for playing is enough. For others, it isn't - some people need a tangible reward in their sights to keep working towards. That is THEIR motivation, what keeps them going - knowing there still is a way to improve their characters.

Strange how personal preference works, isn't it?
