This is a question that's entering my mind a lot lately with some of the rambunctious posts I've seen lately with people telling everyone in the world how much tehy hate grinding and farming and so forth. Well here's a question then; Why the hell are you playing an MMO and engaging in an activity that was obviously designed to not be done solo? Seriously, are you that bloody retarded?
