I asked what I should play, they said they didn't care, so I rolled up a night-elf rouge. No one would come all the way to the elf island to help me, so I had to level on my own until I could get to the main land, and by that time they were all uber-level and doing things on the far side of the world. At one point they led me deep into high-level territory, then signed out. Not fun. :( <strong>@ Rosenbbl:</strong> Exactly. The only MMO were the tedium actually makes sense is Eve, and for some reason that tedium is fun. I donno why, but I can actually enjoy grinding in Eve but I hate grinding in WoW. I think it's because Eves gameplay is built entirely around the grind, whereas WoW uses grinding as a way to fill the void between cool stuff. It's not just WoW though - sometimes CoH got kind of boring, but at least in that it's much easier to switch out of grinding kills and join a Super Team for some fun destruction. Also, CoH gives you the <em>fucking awesome</em> powers much, much sooner. So, maybe they just need to better integrate the boring shit? @ Jess: That’s the problem I had with my guild when I was playing.

More fun, less tedium. Obviously, this isn't counting the gold farmers and power levellers. They don't actually play the game for the gameplay.
