I'm not sure that I'd paint it as intentionally deceiving anyone so much as others are reading into it. You're right that the vast majority of brand spanking new players will NOT participate in a siege or naval battle. I sure didn't. But it's p…
"You people". You clearly have no idea what I've been posting or that I'm a newer player that doesn't give a shit what Tasos' grand visions were. You're really quite quick to lump everyone into neat and tidy groups you can label and hate on.

Obviously not valuable enough to create a mmorpg.com account to sit around and bitch about every game on the market. You wont be missed.

Thats it. An open-ended, skill-based, player-driven ecosystem environment where I actually have to play the game to progress; I'm cancelling.
This is the sound of something going over someone's head.
MMOs have been "Dumbed down".
An intuitive, well made interface = Dumbed down
Lowered Grind = Dumbed down
Equal footing for characters = Dumbed down
No, MMORPGs have not been dumbed down, nor was it ever a good genre. It's just that …

For a player who plays often and does not go out of their way to macro, exp…

It is an issue and it's being discussed in all DFO boards. People downplay the importance of stats, and the fact that boosting them via normal play is slow. That's why people resort t…
[quote]In DFO, you can have many skills at different levels. You can have skill level 40 in archery, 2 in herb gathering, 70 in greater magic and so on. None of those influence your base stats. Your stats are not related to your skill levels, meanin…

Sorry for you to hear this, but hitting endgame in 3 months ISN'T level-based.
I'm sorry for you to hear this, but you're a tool who completely missed the point.

All games on the market, with the exception for any skill based (like UO), are more level-based than DF. A level 20 in AIon can be one shotted by a level 40. Takes about a month or less to hit level 40 in Aion. Noth…
casual play I have over 50 Lesser Magic, trained Greater Magic, have my Melee weapon skill up to 36 and archery at over 50. This in three days time.
"Casual play". I find it hilarious how variable everyone's definition of "casual" is.
while it is correct grinded up characters do have a MAJOR advantage vs new characters. most the info in the original post is
OOOOOO let's play a game, it's called "who's full of the most shit" ONE TWO THREE GO!

I may be a retard but even a retard like myself can smell a QQ post coming a mile away Seriously you get rolled by some uber player and complain the skill system sucks? Against that uber pvper you need 80 - 100 in any pvp skill and atleast 50 in ma…
All the theme park MMORPGs have twisted the minds of our youth, they seem to believe it is the right way and has always been so.
There is no civil way to state this: you're a fucking retard.
What is the point of a skills system when eve…

HINT: It takes about as much skill as your regular MMO. When the moons align and you actually get into a fight with an equally matched opponent, think a first person shooter with good collision detection - a horrible interface, and an asinine stamin…
Don't forget stats. you need to raise your stats too, not just your skills.
How do you do that, you ask? Chopping a tree, or mining. Very, very, very slowly.
I wish I had known that before I purchased.
