I'd hardly call AA a grind. I obtained things in 2½ months that might've taken a year in more grindy games. The game was incredibly solo-friendly and easy to advance in for the most part.
Gratification wasn't totally instant, but then I would never…

Try to relax.
Sadly this is the attitude of a lot of the game's community.…
You say "small niche game" as if that's a bad thing. Can you imagine how much the industry would suck if every single game were exactly like WoW...not that we're that far off from it being that way.
Problem is, Trion is ruining even that.
I voted "I want to perform heroic acts but not necessarily be the hero."
No one wants to play a game and work hard to become mediocre. This was one of the problems I always had with good old Everquest. You were out slaying monsters and collectin…

No doubt this is a factor, but not the only one. Doubtfully even the main one. I'd guess Trion planned to release Auroria just weeks before WoD to keep players planted in AA. The AA p…

But alas, you don't see anyone complaining about it because there's no one left to complain about it.
Probably a combination of this, and people not caring about Auroria because there's no reason for anyone but the la…

Unfortunately I doubt this will happen. Unlike most other MMOs, if you quit ArcheAge, your land wont just be waiting for you if you cho…

Surely a different mmorpgs may provide the challen…

I cant help but chuckle at the irony. The same people who used to tell EQ fans "The industry is changing. Deal with it or GTFO!" when expansions like LDoN came out, are now upset because its their game's turn to change and they dont like it.
