grind

I played tonight for the first time since last weekend, when we got our asses kicked by Order. Since the servers are depressingly quite and abandoned, I was leveling up by doing quests, all alone. And the higher you get, the harder the quests are to do by yourself. You have to go slowly and be cautious so that you don't get attacked by three npcs at once, and it's boring - I played for an hour before I was pretty sick of it.

I don't the game itself is enough to keep me interested - like everyone else has been saying for weeks, the rvr is really the only consistently fun part of the game, unless you can find a group of people who want to run around doing quests with you. I think it's taken me so long to get to this point because I was still trying to figure out how the game worked - not basic stuff, like which buttons to push, but things like the etiquette of joining someone's party or how to find a flightmaster (or, how to handle playing, talking to people in the lab, and listening to people on vent at the same time). But, now the novelty of playing the game has really worn away, and I can see what people mean about it leveling up being a grind. And there's nothing addictive for me about that aspect of the game - I just don't feel the need to do one more thing, if the thing is going to be boring.
