| I actually liked that items meant nothing. I was able to focus on the questing, levelling and exploring without worring about my equipment. The class I played, warden, seemed to do just as well naked as with good gear. At least up to level 51 when I quit. I would just wear what I would find or get from quests. I never had to actively search for equipment. I still wore a level 4 necklace at level 51. Maybe items matter at the raid level stuff, but I only did small group and solo stuff and the equipment seemed to be meaningless. Spells on the other hand, do matter greatly and I did buy adept books frequently. I guess the spell books take the place of items for upgrading your character.
Also it seemed like the majority of players were housewives. Maybe it was because I was behind the levelling curve or was it just the server I was on? |
