the end result which you describe makes sense and the game is going down that path... I am not disagreeing w/ you btw I am infact agreeing with you - BUT!

Now I have to ask... from previous posts aswell as time spent gaming w/ you and talking in vent... Isnt the end result you speak of what you want in a game, personally?

By that I mean, you say there will be nothing left but to pvp only once the grind is gone.. and this is true (only competition w/ other players in whatever fashion it comes in... duels/field/siege/etc.)

This should be your game when that happens.... pvp only - and it doesnt matter about the toon skills/loot cause thats all maxed out fluff... the only thing that matters is beating the other player in whatever form you chose to do your pvp

btw of anyone I thought you would like the concept of this game.. i know you love & are awesome @ fps games... when this shit hits the wall like you said it will be perfect for you.. think HF2:TDM only instead of guns you got spells and theres a better form of melee combat other than crowbar spam
