I don't get "games" like these. It seems much more of a job than an actual game. It kind of ruins it I think. But then again, that is why I dislike MMOs.

You can only train skills on one character at a time per account. The workaround is to either grab a second account when they have another Power of 2 promotion(i.e. 50% off a second account for 6 months) and/or sign up another account with a 21-day trial from Steam and then transfer the character to your main account(one time $20 fee) when he is sufficiently trained.

Thats why I cant get into them. Video games are supposed to be fun and entertaining. For too many people its like work, a 2nd job.

Hell, I get ticked off when I have to grind away or farm in regular video games like the newer Final Fantasies and hack'n'slashers like Diablo 2 & Titan Quest. I installed a mod in Titan Quest that lets me level up slightly faster and make artifacts without the lesser charms & junk. I hate farming and I hate grinding. Drives me nuts.

Stopped reading after this:

"rewards the greedy and violent, and punishes the hardworking and honest; and if you think about it, that's a good representation of capitalism."

Guy's full of shit.

My reaction as well.
