Seems like another bad decision by SOE and I cancelled my subscription. I like EQ2, but I don't like what SOE has been doing lately.

I will never be resubbing. This makes me so very sad :( I was playing since the beta, took a few months break and now this. ARGH I am so angry.

The only reason I made it to the end of my sub was because it came with 30-days. If it were try before you buy, I'd have made it a week. Maybe two. For $250million US... So much money just wasted on putting 'shiny' on the penny instead of dealing with the important fundamentals that don't work or are, in the case of crafting, worthless time sinks. And it's not like they weren't nagged abuot these problems in the 10-months of beta... Funny comment about SW:TOR. The only reason I made it to the end of my sub was because it came with 30-days.

It *really* needs to include combat in the tutorial. I just wish someone would chuck him (or me) a couple of million quid, so he could afford to get a modern engine and an animator.

It offers exactly what I've started to believe I want from an MMO conceptually, but the minute to minute details just keep pushing me away.

Some people do make dungeons filled with single spawns, and thats fine. It's not doing anyone any harm. The number of tokens you get is directly dependant on how many monsters you kill, so they're going to need to be fought, one way or another.
