What ever your theories are.... We in AE are a community. If you choose not to do the AE content, that is your choice. We are enjoying ourselves, forming relationships, and having fun. The people I know are not in some type of competition to better level than you. Its just a way we play and for us is fun. Why do you want to consider taking anything away from us because its not the way you "think" we should play the game? I would go somewhere else if EX was taken away, not because EX was taken away as much as your trying to control the way I play. I dont want to be FORCED to explore other content...I want to do it because I want to. We ARE a community! We are coming into this game to have fun. I can go somewhere else, but id rather not. You may not care and not "like" AE, but focus on yourself and do you....add something fun but dont go taking things away.
