My current main beef with MMOs is that they almost all rely on the notion of 'levels', which is so 1980's!
I come from the old-school pen-and-paper RPG background... Traveller amongst other, where there was no notion of levels. Your character improves and wanes based on your fortunes and your actions, not some guaranteed success points. I dislike the idea that another player's character would be more important or powerful than mine simply because he's grinded more. I'd rather have the best players posted on a leader board because they are talented politically (big guild leader for example), have done something truly heroic (obtain an artifact because they did something truly heroic) or are a major trader...
That makes the game more open-ended, instead of WoW where you can just load up Rawr, check out which are the best items for your spec and grind for them. blah. |
