Gotta agree with Karm there in the last post. Event damaged me as well, not that i complain about the obtained items which are very cool, but in the way, where i dont feel jumping into "hunt before work, hunt after work, hunt every free moment..." pattern.
Its all about mates in the game who you have fun with, really, and if u can take the utmost from the skills that your char has, then it makes it a fun game.
I do plan to get back on lvling at some point, just need to breath some life outside the game. Dont even think I wont bug you to log in and play! I will!
