Sigil please quit making game easier

[RandomPixie]

I like to spend eight hours of my week having FUN, whether or not that means getting to the next level. Levelling is not everything in my eyes. But then again that is jusst me.

If you make XP faster through one certain means than any of the others, people will never opt to take the longer route. Why? Its the goal of the game, "advancement!", and in a DIKU like this that takes place mainly through XP.

Advancement is not the goal of the game.

Some people have made that their goal its true and its also true that people will take the path of least resistance *if* they have made advancing as high as possible as quickly as possible their goal.

However limiting everyone to your pace will not make those people any smarter it will only lessen their enjoyment of the game.

Please, allow me to correct this. Here's what your reply should look like:

Advancement is not MY goal in the game.

Some people have made advancement their personal goal, and if this is what makes them happy then so be it.

Much better ya ? You see, what people fail to realize, is people play these games for different reasons. Maybe you want it to take you a year to reach "end game", then do so. Space your adventuring time if need be. If you want to explore the entirety of the world, you don't have to kill anything to do it. Sure you may die along the way, but you can always corpse hop... this even has an added bonus, you can build debt so it takes you even longer to level! Exciting! If you want to be a crafter, Do so. No one is stopping you. The amazing thing about MMOs is that you have freedom to chose what to do. If your one that doesn't enjoy advancement, just don't advance. I have a revolutionary idea for those of you that don't agree with the current xp rate: Instead of complaining that its too high, and to turn it down. How about you ask Sigil to allow you to turn Xp off? There, that solves everyones problem, if you don't want to advance, you don't have to. While the rest of us, with other goals than your own, can still enjoy our gaming time. It would also be nice if you self absorbed people would stop pigeon-holing those of us that like to advance into the "losers with no life/job and too much spare time" stereotype. I will tell you that I personally have a full time profession and I go to college.
