I am tired of casual games and the entire post WoW MMO community that wants it easy. I left LOTRO and WoW and re-upped my Station Pass to go back to a more hardline MMO gaming experience. I miss EQ1 and have for years. I am tired of trying to replace those memories so I will just go back. Started a guild in EQ2 with some people also. Then i patched and reinstalled Vanguard which I won't play too much but figured I would give it ONE more shot not to be completely boring. I did the opposite.

Now I hear that simply earning my levels is not enough to earn new abilities/spells in Vanguard any more. Instead I must jump through their hoops via very expensive crafting and questing with groups (again). I enjoy casual play. I like to solo and explore. My schedule does not allow long commitments to raids and such. After turning level 50 I felt quite abandoned as a casual player since nearly all of their added high end content was multi-player only. I hung in there hoping to see some reason to keep playing my 50 toons. Guess not! It seems they only want my money if I am 'hard core'. I for one will be only too happy to bow out and spend my money on games where fun is still the main goal and not seeing how difficult they can make your playtime. I, for one have plenty of difficulty in my personal life. I expect my recreation to be relaxing and rewarding, not frustrating.
