Nope.. my problem has nothing to do with pvp and the possibility of enemies way higher level than you lurking freely in the corner ready to gank you. Yes I'm only lvl 25 and I have fought off or killed players higher level than me. I have no problems dying. My problem with the game is the lack of quality content, the quest are starting to get repetitive and the amount of "grind quest" (those that lets you repeat over and over) are becoming more and more numerous. I love a good dungeon run, Aion has instanced dungeons but there are too few of them. I like the way World of Warcraft have liberal amounts of instanced dungeons scattered all over the world for you to explore and I can't help get the feeling that Aion's world feels ..barren. Another thing is the combat. Pressing 1 2 3 4 repeat over and over for each combat doesn't matter what you are fighting feels like the combat is a joke. It's tedious, boring and has all the signs of an asian grinder mmo all over it. Aion is a very pretty game, and that's all there it is to it, a very stunning visual masterpiece clothed but without any soul.
And you just repeated the same pointless arguments we have heard so many times again.
All quests are getting repetive in every mmorpg because mmorpgs have a quantity over quality design philosophy. The quests in Aion are no different than in WoW or Lotro. 1 2 3 4 combat is again, something that is present in every single mmorpg out there with few exceptions.
I think that's the biggest problem with Aion haters. There is an enormous cultural bias. When games like World of Warcraft, Lotro or Everquest have repetive combat and quests, thats fine. When an Asian MMORPG like Aion has it, it's suddenly an Asian grinder despite the fact that it was western games that invented this type of play.
Pretty much the only fair point you have is the lack of dungeons.

Right now I'm very bored doing all those quest, the combat was uninspiring. Yes I've repeat what other's feel about Aion. I tried crafting while it was interesting at first.. I felt it was a huge work order grind-a-thon sooo well when I'm bored grinding quest, I go grind my work orders... grind grind grind...
Fri Oct 16 2009 4:58PM ReportIf going into instanced dungeons is your thing, Why not play a game that is designed entirely around that concept such as Dungeons and Dragons Online or Guild Wars?
Fri Oct 16 2009 5:05PM ReportI like a good balance of open world and instanced drungeon crawling.
