Leaving DDO because of setting

[knight77504]

Title say are are leaving you also say "Eberron setting is going fullout twinkey now, and the game (whihc I haven't played in a year) is lame." So it is not leaving it is left. The posting sound like you just wanted to stir something up. You seem to know alot about WOW so I am thinking that you are a WOW supporter and dont like DDO to compete with WOW. It is fine to complain just dont pretend that you like DDO and just dont like the tech part of it.
Just come out and say you like WOW better and DDO should not compete with them.

Complain when they are playing and complain when they "left".

Got to agree a little. Dungeon & Dragons Online has become very cartoonish in design.

Once you add the huge grind they said this game wouldn't become and the very lazy Turbine development updates. I wouldn't be surprised to see more leave for this or similar reasons.

Its time for Turbine to be creative, i don't want cut and paste quests which i have to run hundreds of times on a random chance

I think they have been very creative with story lines. They have also had very frequent updates. I do agree a wider array of quest types would be nice, let's see what the challenges system brings in update 12.

Actually, IMO, this is the place where Eberron went for kinda lame solution.

Problem: We need transport system in a setting that has high magi-tech.

Solution? They use trains.

I mean, trains? They could've been much more creative here - off the top of my head, they could use, say, Phase ships that sail through ethereal plane; and faster Shadow ships that sail through Plane of Shadow (which is more dangerous). They could use telegraph-like* transportation in from of beam of light/cloud of matter (or hey, matter in sate of plasma) moving at high speed/capsules that are bounced along pre-determined path. And my ideas are lame... there are certanly better out there. And they settled on boring trains and airships.

*I mean, original real-life telegraph, that used towers and light signals.

Eberron has lots of low level magic. High level casters are actually a rarity in the setting. So they really more on capturing elementals than trying to under time and space.
