I really loved the EXP I could gain in an MM. Trying to get an alt up to my main's status.. its a time consuming process to make a 70 with mass AA's, complete spell book, and high trade skills, when you start on a new server. Listening to myself, I guess I do have high expectations.. its been nearly two and a half months on this character, and he's not even 67 yet. Still at 64 AA's. /sigh
With the removal of the MM's, its not a hallow threat anymore, and I've overcome the addiction. I'm going to look for a new game. Sony's sent a message that they're no longer going to appeal to the casual players, nor will they again. When they changed MM's and I'm realizing so many MOBs are uncharmable/mezzable/snarable and have summon, its blantently obvious Sony's trying to keep people from soloing in the high end. Its no conspiracy, and nothing to cover up.. for the company, anyhow. Personally, I've been turning a blind eye and hoping for things to be different when I try again tommorow.
Once I can find a better game for me, I'm quiting EQ. To those that still play, hey, enjoy; I'll probably stick around for another month or two. I hope others are enjoying it more than I have lately.
