MMOs are well known for variety, in fact they're famous for it. The world (whichever you might choose) is quite literally your oyster, You can mine, you can craft, you can kill and you can quest. Part of the charm of these virtual worlds is the freedom to do or not do whatever you want. Some people, for example, <a href="http://aiononline.com">live for PvP</a>, while others spend their time <a href="http://worldofwarcraft.com">making things</a>, digging up plants or <a href="http://eveonline.com">drifting in the depths of space</a> mining asteroids and other celestial bodies. <br /><br />However most people have one thing that they hate doing. No MMO out there is perfect, there's always going to be some aspect of them which drives people bonkers. This could be a nitpick with game mechanics, or perhaps a boring quest. What about long flight times to get from A to B or a raid lock out period? Perhaps you hate fishing or squinting looking for herb nodes. Maybe it's PUGs or running a specific instance. Mine is PvP, waiting for an hour for raids to get started and rescuing scantily-clad maidens tied to trees (<a href="http://ageofconan.com"><em>AoC</em></a> I'm looking at you). What's yours?<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/07/14/the-daily-grind-what-part-of-mmos-do-you-not-like/">The Daily Grind: What part of MMOs do you not like?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 14 Jul 2009 08:00:00 EST.
