The Daily Grind: What content will you never do again?

by Justin Olivetti on Sep 2nd 2010 8:00AM

For me, it's Dungeons and Dragons Online's The Pit, a horribly convoluted 3-D maze of traps, ramps and switchback objectives. My one and only experience running this dungeon lasted well over two hours and several deaths. It was one of those runs that you grit your teeth and hang on thinking that it's got to end some time soon... right? When I finally stepped out into the sunlight, I turned around, /spit on the doorway, and promised myself, "Never again!"

So what content are you determined never to do again in your MMO? Perhaps, like my story, it was an agonizing dungeon crawl. Maybe you can't fathom doing a particular reputation grind one more time. Or you could be at the point where the entire leveling process is anathema to your soul. We all have our breaking points, after all.

Today, please share with the rest of the class what content you'll never do again if you have your say -- and why you won't do it.

It's only because you're 32 now after they've added repeatable quests, adjusted rates, ..., in general made it less of a kill grind.

Go try Aion 1.0 and see why I never renewed subscription.

I've found that with two of the main areas mentioned (the Pit and BRD) that while they are both initially frustrating I also found them challenging and rewarding enough to do them several times until I was familiar with them. Once you've got the maps down on both of them they're not too bad. Still the overall feel to most of these comments is that a confusing map does a lot to make an area disliked by a lot of players.
I personally dislike areas that are boring and too drab. While I don't mind the barren nature of S1 in FE I found that when I tried to do Burning Gorge or Blasted Lands (or whatever the name of that zone is) and suchlike in WoW I just found myself not liking the game as much.
