I might try again with a different class, but haven't done it yet. As I get higher in level, like in any MMORPG, progress slows to a crawl, and frustrations (despite a good game design) start to mount. I can't effectively solo, unless I want to skip quests and just grind away mindlessly. There are some Gray non-Elite quests I haven't been able to do without a group - never mind yellow or orange ones. Mining and Blacksmithing - my trades of choice - have hit a brick wall.  I can't find the higher-level resources I need to advance my abilities without going into areas I have no chance of surviving in, and the gear I can craft right now is generally worse than what I can get from quests or drops. Yeah, it's more polished, but under all that it is exactly like every other MMORPG out there, despite all the hype - which makes me a little angry (at myself, and at the various reviewers and previewers) for getting sucked into one of these things again, when I should have known better...</blockquote>
