    Default Fed-Ex or Grind

    Anyone notice that in an MMO its either a huge grind or a bunch of Fed-Exing (by Fed-Ex I mean questing i.e. go here, do this, then come back, then go over here and give this to this person, then take it over there ... yadda yadda..) This can get even more boring than grinding. Why isnt there an MMO that can equal the two out?

    Well first there were mmorpgs that constain alot of mob killing to lvl up, then they got complained alot saying "why theres no quests plaah plaah". Then Devs and GMs liked the idea and added crazy quests to prevent "grinding". Lol just my theory. Well theres alot of mmorpgs that have both equalled but because theres also alot of quests, ppl prefer quests than normal lvling. For example Cabal online, some ppl said that if you do normal lvling from 1-30 you will get faster than doing quests, some ppl were on different line.

    Please don't take offence, but this is placed in the wrong section. This is a disscusion topic which belongs in General maybe. This section is to post free mmorpg's that have not been posted before or it has been awhile since the game has been posted.

    Correction.

    This section is to DISCUSS MMORPGs.

    There wouldn't be so many post if people wouldn't post REQUESTs here though.

    And I agree, They should balance it out.

    Yes discuss free mmorpg's, thats kinda what I said, obviously if your gonna post a new free mmorpg there will be discussion, however you know what I meant, lets dis-continue this conversation so we stop bumping this topic.

    World of Warcraft balanced it out. If you disagree, I suggest you play WoW from lvl1-60 by only doing quests, you'll see.

    It's impossible to even it out seeing as how everyone's different. You can come close to it, although the guy that doesn't like to do quests is gonna say there's too much of them. Some RPGs have it balanced somewhat but when it comes to the mid/end game it's hard because they would have to make either tons of quests or some really long ones.

    Guild wars is by far one of least grind based mmorpgs out there although I didn't like it because of the fighting system. Most mmorpgs out there today are identical in some ways the P2P and the F2P. Grind/quest your way to the highest level.... grind for equipment so you cna pvp better... rinse and repeat as new additions to the game come out. WoW did a good job at making pvp in the end fun but the grind still was annoying.

    Really, huh then why would you even post? You think you're better than someone who would go through quoting people's post and responding (cough cough), but deep inside you want to do it anyway because you have nothing better to do. Liar.

    Really now? I'll take your word for that but you're still wrong about this,

    So basically you had no idea whether you were right or wrong, but the fact that you think you are a mod lets you tell people things are in the wrong place when you don't even know if they are. So basically if you want to reduce minimizing spam maybe you should do read the rules first:

    http://www.onrpg.com/boards/free-mmo...efore-posting/

    and then you would see that this post is alright to be here and you would not have put two posts into the topic that were more or less spam. Just trying to make MMORPG a better place.
