Aion: Tower of Eternity Forum

Do not buy Aion. I said "sure why not" and gave it a try.

Waste of 50$. Game feels grindy as hell. Doing the quests feels like grinding. God everything I was doing felt like a grind.

Things in this game feel so primitive.

For instance there is only 2 ranks in guild. You can't even set up guild banks properly, anyone you give access to look in the bank can ninja everything. Dumb as hell.

WoW has had time to develop over the years and make a ton of improvements. Warhammer took a lot of things from that and that was a pretty fun game. Where as Aion just feels like they have ignored all of that and stuck to old korean style.

If your bored of WoW. You will not find Aion a good game to fallback on. Go fallback on Warhammer. I bought that for 15$ and enjoyed it for a month. Where as I dropped Aion in a week.

Also let me add that the Gold Spamming in Aion is god damn insane. I have never experienced gold spamming that atrocious. Every general chat channel is filled with them and you get a whisper every 2 minutes. 
 

" Have to agree. Is pretty hard to play another MMO if you spent a long period of time with WoW. "

"To be fair, that has nothing to do with the quality of other games.  It's just that when you accept the WoW EULA, Blizzard gains all rights to your soul. " 

"This. Everytime I tried an MMO other than WoW I always ask myself the question.  "Why not just play WoW?"  WoW is the best MMO hands down. There's really no reason to play anything else in my opinion. "

Unless you're looking for something that doesn't look like it's running on a 10-year old engine. Anyone who thinks vanity isn't a big reason for people to play such games is lying to themselves -- it's the main reason most keep playing. Either for new gear that looks badass, new titles to show off, or new achievements to brag about.  The problem I have with WoW is everything looks so ugly and they keep recycling the old armor sets that my character would perpetually look like crap and it strikes me as lazy design on their part -- if they can get away with not designing more unique-looking stuff, why bother? But I actually agree with everything else you said, and I ask myself the same question when trying other MMOs. Aion had great looking gear and characters but fell flat in every other aspect compared to Warcraft. "
