            Thus spake Jeffrey Kesselman...
            > I would politely suggest then that your capacity to enjoy repetitive
            > stimulus and repetitive responses is remarkable and atypical of
            > humanity as a whole.
            
            I would disagree (though I'm admittedly biased) - I have quite a few
            characters that I will not play solo, because they do become exceedingly
            repetative. I primarily prefer to play in a team, not because of any
            socialisation, but because the greater number of enemies and allies adds
            a much greater degree of variety to the combat.
            
            Of course the combat is repetative - but so is the combat in pretty much
            any other MMO out there (including most MUDs I've played). CoX's is the
            most varied and dynamic so far.
            
            All the other "activities" present in other MMO's so far (crafting,
            etc.) are even more mind-numbingly dull than the combat - they only seem
            a good idea because they're different, not because they have any
            inherent entertainment value.
            
            I respect the choice of Cryptic to focus on quality game systems, rather
            than quantity. It's far from perfect, but it's still the best I've seen
            so far (though Vanguard has some good ideas), and is different /enough/
            between powersets and archetypes to still be enjoyable.
