more intelligent gamers play RPGs?

What? Only dull people get bored? Come on...

Next up: there is no such thing as a boring video game!

Dull people get bored when there is so much to do to have fun. I've known kids who have rooms full of toys, multiple video game systems, and an entire farm on which to play... and they get bored. Are all these things they have boring, or are the kids dull ?
There are so many different things to do in these MMORPG's, and since there are literally millions of people playing these games and having fun, it makes me wonder about the few people who look at these games and say how boring they are.
It's also striking when you ask these people what they find boring about these games and they cannot give a straight answer. Neo48 lays down some good points on the specifics, he doesn't like tapping the hotkeys. No problem, since many games you can change the setup in configurations. In WoW, I rarely tap hotkeys and mostly use the mouse to do everything. In FFXI, I hooked my PS2 controller up to the computer so I can sit back and play it relaxed. When I am not enjoying a game, I try to tinker with things to make the game more enjoyable. There is a world of options out there.

I suppose this is another advantage PSU/PSO provide for me. Usage of gaming pads. I enjoy this feel to video games quite a bit more. But thats a personal thing I suppose.

Not something I am familiar with, but interesting none the less. I would imagine that it requires a super mouse however.

I like the controllers more too. It made me mad when I found out that I couldn't get my controller to work for WoW. I actually stopped playing it a little while because of that, but eventually the desire to be a Troll Warrior that does Herbology and Alchemy got into me again so here, I play it again.
One thing FFXI has over WoW is that you don't have to create a character and start from the beginning if you want to experience things through a different class.

I Havn't really played Phantasy Star Online with other people yet, I keep playing the Single Player games. I don't understand how the party mechanics work, so I just go solo.
