I agree level grinding was mostly tedius and slow, but early on in UOs lifetime before all the patches and stuff the thief class was the greatest. You could steal from other players, and even if they catch you, just run off screen and hide. Then wip out the good old disguise kit and a new set of cloths and approach the same sorry fool and he would never know you were the thief. He'd usually ask me if I'd seen so and so and I'd just steal from him again. And if he no longer had anything of value I'd play along and ethier point him to nowhere in particular or start shouting anti-thief slurs to gain his trust.

They need to rally together and make something supa.
Barring Romero, Midway now has too much talent for it's own good.
And to think it's all wasted on a mindless gauntlet hack n' slash. The gods must be crazy.
I wouldn't count Guild Wars as an MMO. More like a bitch-bastard of a MMO and a diablo clone.
I can only say Ultima Online beta since thats all I played. The Death of Lord British is priceless.
Assumptions are all I can go on since your post consistent of calling people cry babies who complained about legitimate issues. You didn't exactly put forth a strong argument.

Post consistent? 1 post out of 5 isn't consistent.
This is where you and me differ. I've developed a strong tolerance given my job. :cool:
You are making far too many assumptions here. On my computer the game doesn't play like that of an Alpha build in any way. (I work in QA, I know exactly how an Alpha build plays) In fact the game is highly playable on my 3 year old system that barely meets the minimum requirements. It is choppy in most places, yes! It has some long load times, yes! But it wasn't as bad as some people make it out to be. I will argue against it being unplayable.
The reality of it is, most people complaing probably have low tolerance for any sort of chronic technical issues. And I'm conditioned to hell and back having been putting up with all manner of jankyness for over a year.
And the game is good. Not shoddy at best.

I played the game, no patch, with choppiness up the ass (Although my CPU did make its fortitude save vs. crashing at Leopold's) and still enjoyed most of it. (The last areas of the game aren't on par with the rest)
Well then whats the point of even having the repair skill available for your PC if you have a droid that repairs everything for you. Makes the skill a bit useless I reckon.
About having no level cap, this doesn't automatically make it a powergamers paradise. Really depends on how it's handled. I recall Planescape: Torment not having a cap and it is more focused on role-playing then most CRPGs in existance. Saying that, if there is going to be a cap, I hope I never reach it.
