In Topic: Why does XP suck unless you do Hearts or DE's?

Guild Wars 1.

Last I checked GW1 had levels.  Also, if I remember correctly it had a graphical bar that displayed your experience needed to reach the next level.  Once you hit mac, the bar was used to show when you reached your next skill point.

And yet, there are many games, of numerous genres, out there that do not rely on levels and still manage to sell superbly.
What makes the MMO genre so unique that it's inherently bound to level grind?

It requires more players to be profitable.  Small games can do what they want, they need to sell as many.

And the point is that there are better games that cater to the players that like level-grind and it would be amazing if the market offered a decent game for those that don't.

If there were enough people that wanted it, then there would be games that offer it.  The problem is, the moment a game like that enters usability testing, people scream in horror.

I know y'all will go on and on about how farming is bad, but look this game has farming in it. Farming DEs, hearts,...

How does a person farm hearts?  It's not like there are very many of them.  Once they're gone, it's over.  Is there a way that I'm not aware of that a character can get experience from the same hear more than once?

Experience bar should be abolished from modern day MMOs!

You seem to forget,people like it.

I wasn't talking about them moving.  I was talking about being able to gather from them more than once.  As far as I remember, you can only gather from a single node once per day, regardless of its tier.

I believe I've been able to mine nodes in Frostgorge more than once a day.

Care to link where you got those ^ statistics? Yeah I thought not. lol

This is the best I can do at the moment.  Remind me in a couple weeks and I'll check to see if the lecture is up in the vault.
