| Spending 30 minutes or more recovering from a wipe vs roughly one tenth that in WoW is soul-crushing amounts of suck. The amount of time spent meditating/buffing in EQ is fucking horrible and completely unnecessary. They finally put an out-of-combat mechanic into the game, they should take far more advantage of it.
Face it, we only put up with EQ's downtime because it was the only game out there. |
