um...what is the cost of baseline mounts? when I quit a normal mount was 40 gold and a fancy ass fast mount was 100 gold

suffice to say I geared up fast after release of BC and displaced our Protection Warrior tanks in style which created a minor schism in the guild when one of our raid tanks rage quit b/c I was a better tank than him.

hahaha powerful yeah I remember the days of prot warrior supremacy, and vaguely remembered feral displacing them I had no idea there was politicking over it but it makes a lot of sense classes are so homogenized now it doesn't matter so much :(

100% feature not bug, abolish classes & replace them with learned skills

there were a bunch of MMOs that had mechanics just like that. a really early one (EQ1 generation) was Asheron's Call, which had a lot of potential but kinda shit the bed for reasons that were never clear to me.

yeah AC still has folk who remember it fondly, I never played it m'self. I like GW2 because you can play it like a standalone singleplayer game and never touch a filthy pubbie ever
-
I did exactly that! the (almost) solo leveling up experience in GW2 was a real pleasure imo. if I had been in the mood to go deep on another MMO I would have picked that one. much to recommend. I think I'm just done with that experience now though.
-
so the best thing about AC (besides the unusual character development system) was it had a fiat credit based economy! this was enormously clever really. buying a letter of credit at a spawn hub and transporting it to a distant outpost would magically generate returns.

so basically an exploration dividend, to incentivize players to actually engage with all the content they had produced. the game was also brutally punitive (economically) for player deaths so it felt high stakes. that was not great for noobie acqusition though.
