I kind of liked RAs.. those were great, becuase you got them from PvPing, not so you could PvP.

ML's, Artifacts, and those are what really killed it for me. It really was awesome getting the levels out of the way (1-50) finding an SC'er, and armorcrafter/weaponcrafter, and getting your gear and template made, and then going to RvR. That was it. 1-50 was like 3-4 days of PL, and about 20p for the gear. Made it easy to get into RvR.

Then ML's and Artifacts came along. Not only did you have to do each ML in order (well, they are pretty lax now about it) and farm mobs for artifacts (again,t hey became more lenient on it) you had to then grind and level said artifacts (yea. they nerfed this too! little too late tho).

So the 3-4 days of getting ready for PvP turned into over a month when you rerolled to play different classes/realms.

And I know, some of you are going.. just a month? bah thats nothing. and it isnt, really, but when you have a game like DAoC, where you play 1 realm for a while, get rr6-7, and reroll to try another realm (for variety) it does kind of grind on you. Staying 1 realm isnt very fun because its only 1/3rd of the game really =x

Also have to remember that PvE was not the reason you play DAoC. PvE sucked. Hard. =/
