No decent MMORPGs left - there's only crap out there

[Chad32]

I played Lord of the Rings Online for a few years. It was good, but it's mostly doable by yourself. And I would think the main draw of an MMO is doing things with a group. While there are roleplaying servers, eventually I really just didn't want to bother anymore. Also the new endgame nowadays is doing repeatable quests a thousand times over to help rebuild a town or something, instead of an endgame raid. Not very fun after a while.

I liked Dungeons and Dragons Online, because of the character customization, and the need for groupings, but then I had problems with the community. You get these characters who are overpowered, because of multiple reincarnation and stat tomes, who mainly just want to zerg rush through a handful of quests as they level. And there were some quest packs that weren't open to VIP, and couldn't be bought in the online store with turbine points.

There seems to be an overall problem with MMOs being largely populated by casual players, so the difficulty is brought down until you can do a lot of things by yourself. Which defeats the purpose of playing an MMO, as opposed to a single player game.

There are player versus player games, but I'm too much of a casual to be very good at them.

I've pretty much given up on that scene. Unless anyone knows a better one.
