I know it would inevitably turn into a flame fest, but I'd love to see one maybe stickied thread devoted to the question of which age people like better and why.

It would really have to be limited to people who have participated in the Beta.

Honestly from what I'm reading, I suspect I won't be playing long once Age 2 goes live. I absolutely intend to give it a legitimate chance, but it really sounds like it's become too time intensive for me, and that the scales are tipped much too far in favor of people who are willing to spend substantial money.

Still, a thread like this (moderated to keep outright flames limited) would maybe present the other side of the coin a little better.

But yeah, I know it'll never happen.
