Precisely! I would rather quit than do that. I want to relax through gaming, not waste my time. Relax does not mean no nail-biting excitement (to those who would jump on me when they read this). It does mean spending time enjoying the experience. Being on the edge is exciting. The danger factor is exciting. Good teamwork in a tough situation is exciting. Teamwork clicking like clockwork is exciting. Accomplishing something solo that is considered next ot impossible is exciting. I've experienced all those in D2 and even more in D1. Grinding mobs for hours and hours for something relatively small is definately not my idea of exciting or ralaxing. I'd rather watch Caddyshack.... for the 20th time, or get some sleep. I can totally understand now what so many people playing Guild Wars were saying when the game just came out. They were talking about that game not being all about the items and raids. I did not understand that then but I do now. Too bad GW sucked.
