Aion bored

[Mercurio]

Hey Pinot,

Sorry Aion's not working out for you. The game is pretty and looked kind of interesting, but I decided to keep my game time in WoW.

This weekend I leveled up one toon's herbalism from 0 to 400 and leveled up 5 toons at once from 0 to 450 alchemy! If you are going to level one, you may as well level 5. Now with all of them as master transmuters (in addition to the other 2 I already had), the money should roll in from epic gems. Anyway, it was actually pretty fun. That and ToC10 are keeping the game fun for me.

I hope whatever you play you are enjoying.

I thought Toc10 was impossible to box? Your insane doing all that leveling. With wow I reached the point of thing really matters because they just raise everything every 3 months. Plus it just got boring. I didnt have the time either. Maybe I will come back some day.

Naxx was a lot of fun. Soloing it, figuring out the fights, the excitement of really accomplishing something when each new boss went down to my two 10-man groups while they were in blues.

Since then the raids are way too frenetic - Blizzard has done some things to the raids to make them more interesting for single-boxers and we multi-boxers can't keep up. I don't think anyone is going to solo Ulduar or ToC10 unless they severely outgear the instnace and don't need any drops. So I think the days of improving your team in raids solo are over.

Pinot, you are right about gear always going by the wayside, but having 20 toons that are geared enough to do the latest raid content is fun. I can join a team, check out the gear the others have, and switch to another toon that can benefit from the drops others already have

It is true that leveling up professions is probably the only thing I'm doing right now that will last for the long tern, but I'm still finding ways to have fun.
