All I can do with most of the stuff in that article is say "O RLY?", because its the same thing a lot of people have been saying for years. But that's not the point, I don't see why you people are so against it.

Games need to make sure there are challenges to be met - challenges that are not solved by making sure you picked up a sword that's +1 better than your old one, but rather solved by the player reacting to it. Also that "grinds" should be taken out from games, which is tied into the whole solving challenges thing... if every mob is a new and different challenge, its not a grind! But, eh, I'll stop since all I'd be doing is restating the article. I'll just say the biggest thing I agree with in that article is making sure the game isn't about numbers.

I don't think the article is an argument for turning things towards NGE, because NGE was nothing like he's advocating.
