Re:Just a ruse; top gear will simply be other grin (Score 1)

Fair enough, but don't forget that the Arena will be on a three-month timer. To me that means "must play Arena solidly for three months to achieve good gear from it." Thats pretty intense, and not much different from grinding reputation for the top stuff in the battlegrounds as the system currently works. I agree. There just isnt a grindless MMOG. Truth is most MMOGers love to grind thats why they play this genre. True PVPers enjoy games like FPS where playing skill is all that matters, not gear character level/skill trained. Guild Wars is a game that most closely resemble grindless but it totally took itself out of the MMOG genre.
