Leveling in this game is horrible. Can I just /level 50 please.

Once you get above lvl 20 the quests are few and far between, its just grind grind grind. bleh, should have known this was coming.

Sorry, just QQing a bit.

theres always quests honestly Im 26 and havent struggled with having a journal full of quests at any level they just arent always at the hubs.

 

I prefer grinding anyway so I enjoy it but honestly they can be found.

It's to keep you playing for longer so you pay more game subs. At the end of it you end up in a PvPvE area.

Seriously....what is the point of playing or even buying the game if you want to be at the cap immediately!?  I'm surprised that no MMO company has yet offered the option for say $50-$100 get an instant lvl cap! {Course you'd get the cap but no money or gear either...}   If any does it first I'd say Blizzard will since they have so many other paid options now, and heck even race change is coming soon!

Hi... I'm Guildwars. I offered instant level 20 PvP only character with max gear, with the ability to unlock skills and upgrades through PvP currency called Balthazar faction. But no.... no game has ever offered instant level cap....

ROFL !!  In actuality I dont think most of these people making comments about AION even play or have played the game.  They are just so desperate to talk junk they are throwing up whatever they can think of.  Got to give them credit for trying.  Sadly, the game appears to be off to a strong start and lying about the gameplay on some random message board wont put a dent in its success -- or even a small, barely visible smudge.

Guess im just bad at finding the quests themselves, every level after lvl 10 I've always had to grind out at least 1/4thof a level. I try to do the lvl 21 quests at lvl 21, and save lvl 22 quests for lvl 22 so i will have some left to do you know?

Not saying the game is bad, I guess WoW just turned me into a candy ass when it comes to leveling.

You know one thing to do is maybe kill stuff on your way to do a quest, instead of bypassing everything? Or maybe get into a legion and do some PvP? or craft your new armor for your next set? Theres alot to do you just have to go out and find it, instead of trying to rush out and get max lvl right away. Relax its just a game and your suppose to have FUN

I thought rushing to the max level WAS the "FUN" part. >.>

Actually it depends on what side you play. The Elyos have more quests than Asmodian's do (I don't know why, they just do.) And they also don't have the mob timers that Asmodian's have. I'm currently in my 20s on my Asmodian and I still have quite a few quests to do, but there are definitely alot less than Elyos, we will probably see new quests and such in an update.

Level 25, did the first instance and it took 45 minutes and I gained almost a full level and tons of fun. Yep, this game is a grind. :roll eyes:

Now This right here is what's wrong with todays' gamers. It's the mentality brought up by the game that shall not be named. Instant gratification, dumb easy levelling, solo-friendly etc.

It's really sad to see how many players are spoiled by it.

No, that's what's wrong with today's games. They make the grind so boring that most of us want to skip through it because it's the same goddamn grind we've done since the first time we logged into WoW. How About Something New To Keep Us Interested?

If you quest with a friend and do not gather/craft at all, you will be running out of quests around 22+

If you are soloing, gathering and crafting a bit, you will have no problem.

If you think the leveling in Aion is  to grindy then I suggest you need to find a new genre to play,as Aion has made it as painless as possible.

No actually both are at fault. If it wasn't for WoW we would never have had all these crappy WoW-wannabes trying to cater to the millions of WoW gamers. The overwhelming majority of today's gamers are spoiled.
