So ... I remember why I quit Farmville. And Vampire Wars, and all of those Facebook timewasters, actually. Plainly speaking, I hate being told I have to do something.
Employment aside, of course.
Now, what this means is, I like games that offer me branching paths, and choices and such, because even the illusion of free will is better than nothing. And I hate games that basically devolve into a routine of "plant twenty dickberries and come back in ten hours."
Which ... is one of the unfortunate side-effects of daily quests in the old standby, World of Warcraft.
What's even more frustrating?
Starting back over at the beginning, through anything other than my own volition.
So, what relevance does this have to anything whatsoever?
Apparently when you perform a faction transfer, you lose your status with a neutral faction (The Argent Crusade) and have to build your way back up from scratch. Now, this is almost understandable since the faction that actually 0's out is the Sunreavers/Silver Covenant, not The Argent Crusade. Except ... none of the other factions, like, at all, do that. Even the ones that, like the Silver Covenant or Sunreavers, are just equivalents, not truly neutral.
And you lose all your achievements, and your titles, and access to the special crusader vendor.
Which means 28 days - at least, assuming you miss nothing - of building your way back up from the very bottom rank for ... apparently no reason.
Very frustrating.
It's not even current content, but it's important to my character's RP.
So ... I feel obligated to do it.
Bastids.
