Originally posted by UsualSuspect I wouldn't go to a themepark and whine because I didn't get to go on the rollercoaster if I don't like rollercoasters. With raid content, the analogy sounds like this : you pay in advance to get into the am…

Originally posted by darkhalf357x I also would like to say, telling someone to go 'play single player games' is moot. We are obviously playing and enjoying MMOs for a reason, and most likely cannot be done with single player games. The experi…

Originally posted by UsualSuspect Originally posted by UsualSuspect I grew up with RPG's, the table top kind, from basic D&D to Vampire The Masquerade, Shadowrun and Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. In all of them, nobody was…

It is so much work expressing oneself adequately via text. A pub would be way better! It is unreasonable to compare RL to any game. RL is real, games are not. The suggestion that I should expect to group in an MMO because I must deal w…

Usual S, having other people around is a great reason to play MMOs of course. I do interact with others. Especially via the auction house (which I bet you disapprove of if for no other reason than it encourages certain solo player types). But no,…

The more I can do solo in any mmo, the better. I have an entire life of relationships and responsibilities and friends and co-workers, etc. Doing some group content is fine occasionally and I believe that it must be designed for groups to be decent…

Originally posted by Iselin I've said it before: there is a time and a place for both. I personally do both and as such when I'm doing one or the other I appreciate design elements that cater to either and make my gaming time more enjoyable... is th…

I’m willing to put in the time and effort to level a crafting skill. What I despise, though, is making any plans and materials bind-on-pickup and then placing them exclusively in RAID instances where I will never see them. All craft mater…

Originally posted by Cephus404 Originally posted by UsualSuspect Let's take LOTRO for example. I was playing a Minstrel and was on LFG, for those who don't know a Minstrel is LOTRO's equivalent to a Cleric, and I spent the entire day soloing …

Yes indeed, players who like to group can do all of the instances in a game like WoW. They occur throughout the leveling process, not just at end game. There are many instances. All content all the time. That’s what a raider gets to do and I’m c…

Usual Suspect, you should know better than to rely on the old, worn out arguments that compare a game to Real Life. This is a GAME! It can be fair, unlike life, which manifestly is not. We all pay the same money to play. Still RL isn’t such a go…

I played WoW for over 3 years. I took 5 toons to 70. I enjoyed it. These characters could support one another via crafting. Of course, I had to farm the mats either to use myself or to sell in the AH. But guess what would happen (often) when I w…

Originally posted by UsualSuspect Alright, let's say I've been looking at MMORPG's in the traditional sense, that they're supposed to involve multiple players working against content together. Tell me what a solo-centric game is. What would t…

First off, kudos to all who have kept this debate so civil. I, a solo-centric player, have read it entirely. It really doesn’t prove anything at all to parse the term MMORPG. It can mean anything to anyone. Group centric folks like to…
