Grab some friends and grind through Elite areas. Chances of names. Instances such as fire temple for the 30s, nochsana training camp for 25-28 (though it has a 17 hour lockout, it's nice xp). That reminds me of EQ the most.

If you are Elyos you can check-out the bottom floor of Eracus for pretty decent XP 30~32 in a 4~5 person group. I mainhealed it as a Chanter for about 10 hours of xp. Got 2.5 or so levels in that timeframe (spread over 3 days). Left me with so many damn quests to get cleaned up...

There really does seem to be a lack of pve and it is more solo grinding, although that might change for higher levels.

Im not really sold on any long term investment in this game, but for now its something fun.

Compared to EQ, wow's pve is 100% hand-held, which is what I meant by that. You seriously can't say WoW's pve is even 1/50th as difficult as EQ ever was, part of the reason it went so mainstream. Retards could play close to the level of excellent players, that never was able to happened in EQ.

Doesn't all the instanced and non instance dungeons start around 25? I am on the good side and at 20 there is the outside elite area but thats all I know of so far.

I'd explain the whole concept of apples and oranges to you, but I'm fairly certain you would just respond by saying we'd have fruit that massages our balls for us while we eat them if fruit growers weren't so afraid of advancing the genre and instead were just making clones of all fruit made before them.

You are so clueless, its kinda sad.
The statement about the classes is the best proof.

Personally I am enjoying Aion alot even thou the grind is annoying. Hell, I am having a BLAST playing it most of the time. I think its the first time I ever enjoyed EQ-like combat mechanics. If you like PvP, you should check out the abyss before quiting.

Calling WoW Arenas "PvP" is retarded. Its a PvP-Minigame at best.
The random zergs, that also happened in WoW before open pvp died and people did nothing but camp instances, are not my taste either. Its a RvR thing for casuals.

lol yeah, there's no correlation between an easy xbox game and the success of wow and how easy it is as well. sure.

I'm sure Blizz Management is checking out Avatar: The Airbender as part of their strategy planning sessions...

Your try at making a smart comment failed miserably. Plus we all know that large parts of WoW's success is based on making an easy game in which everyone feels like a winner -- because you cannot lose.
Kinda the reason its called "not challenging" and "easy to learn, easy to master".
