The Daily Grind: Which environments tend to drain your interest?

Snowy landscapes. I get enough snow (with much better graphics) during the winter so I tend to dislike it in MMOs :D

I have also lost interest in the cursed forest environments after Duskwood in WoW and Gloamwood in RIFT, but that can also be because I'm tired of fighting spiders, skeletons, ghosts and werewolves.

Caves. Caves. Caves.

If I see one more cave, no matter how colorful it is on the inside, I'm going to lose it.

It's like every developer got together and formed a committee and said, "yo we need caves in the game. Also, don't forget to put the quest objective in the back of the cave that way they get to see the whole cave we worked really hard to make after we graduated with a degree from cave making from the University of Caves. Make more caves."

I don't really think the environments are the thing that immediately starts the drain on my enthusiasm. No matter the environment I think that point hits for me when I first start moving through an area (outside of the starting city, camp, etc.) and seeing the "level" of the creatures start to advance up.

It's at that point in my mind the full realization of "another level grind" hits me and an inner gallery expelled a collective "Awwwww... :(". And seeing as overwhelming majority of MMO don't put the kind of effort in non-combat activities as say SWG(preNGE) or UO did, nor the level of importance..."Combat, combat, combat" grind that no matter how you do it overall feels the same as the last game I just played.

No, I've seen some very well done environments over the years. Indeed that's one of the few things I can appreciate in the modern MMO. Most well financed developers swing for homeruns with respect to graphics and environs.

NONE. Since no mmo has been perfect yet, I am still interested in seeing EVERYTHING in every game I play.

Caves I agree with get annoying. A lot of game companies recycle old code/models and it ends up being a lego building session everytime an xpac comes out (eq2)

CAVERNS, when done right, are soooooo epic.

What TRULY drains my interest, is whiney, bitter, spoiled, horribly burnt out and jaded players. That, and the fact that after losing thousands upon thousands of customers, game devs chose F2p across the board, instead of just PROMOTING.

Now, these games might have double or triple the population, but most arent REAL gamers of that game. They arent appreciative or loyal to the game, so its pointless.

PROMOTE TO NON-GAMERS and gamers that dont play mmo. I will repeat this until i am blue in the face until one company listens, gains 50 million new players and pays me for waking them up!

Dark forests. Basically any time a game goes for "ooooooooooooooooooo, spoooooookyyyyyyyyy" I lose interest very quickly. Horror lite elements tend to not work very well for me in MMOs, and when I see them I just sigh and brace myself for a number of soulcrushingly annoying hours.

There isn't a specific environment type that I just flat-out dislike whenever I encounter it. Usually I dislike the way a specific zone comes together. I'm not really sure how to explain it better than that though.
