The other day I was questing my way through the Shire in Lord of the Rings Online and chatting to my kinship about how wonderful it is to return to this familiar region. Strangely enough, that set off a bit of a friendly argument over how annoying it is to redo content that you’ve done a million times before. One person said, “I like the Shire, but I can’t stomach doing all of those quests again. Been there, done that, time to move on.”
I think this is a relatable position. There is all sorts of content in MMOs that have worn out their welcome due to us recycling it perhaps a dozen too many times. Maybe it’s a dungeon, a zone, or a quest chain, but there’s that content that sends us screaming in the opposite direction when we’re faced with the prospect of doing it yet again.
What MMO content are you totally sick of doing — and would be more than happy never to do ever again in your life?
