'It's always impressive' would have been better than 'It's never not impressive'

Or even better would have been "It's never impressive".

I am not jealous, I am not a "hater", but these games do not take real skill to level up, they only take time. You have to use a little bit of tactics of course, but it's not beyond the ability of any 10 year old to figure out even.

I am certainly not jealous of a person who has so little to do in life that they can stay online on a game that much every day.

I'm also not impressed at all. Anybody who takes the time to get there can do it. It's not an impressive thing to hurt your body and social life by playing a video game non stop in order to get your level high as fast as you can.

To me, it truly is the journey on the way.

There are many things that do impress me, but staying on a video game all day every day isn't one of them.

And I seriously do not care. Having power in a video game never has helped me in real life. I do get impressed by actual game knowledge that you learn over time and other things, but max level newbies do not impress me.

@MewMew - I completely agree, moresoe because Aion is (at last as far as PVE is concerned) mostly a grind. There's little tactics used and most, if not all, of the time spent playing was going from place to place killing things. That's not an accomplishment so much as it is a testament to just how obsessed people are with games.
