i quit when my two toons were in their upper 20s because i ran out of all of the quests and i hated doing the repeatable quests and TG. really, after hitting the upper 20s, i just got bored of the game. aion is a gorgeous game, but playing it can be dull.

to improve the game, ncsoft should:
1) allow instanced pvp before 25. as it is, you don't get to pvp at all before 25 (except rifting)
2) make the level grind less painful, and
3) make the crafting grind less boring. and it's incredibly boring.

most likely, given how slow they are to respond to anything, the servers will only have the annoying bots left by the time ncsoft addresses these concerns.

Aye, my wife and I played up until low 20s, and then ran out of quests to do, and had pretty much gotten over the "having to just straight up grind out mobs" to finish a 1/2 level or so. It got so every single level was like that. It got old quick.

I think the stats listed bear that out, and will continue like that.

It also sucked because I always got the feeling that we were making it "extra" hard on ourselves because we were trying to duo together.

We just stopped logging in and eventually cancelled. A grind is one thing, but the world itself, plus what we understood to be the higher level game, werent enticing and interesting enough to warrant grinding stuff out.

Agree with others, boring world, grind put me off. And even if they fix it, I dont care enough anymore to ever want to go back. They had their shot at my wallet, oh well :)
