Wowza, I have not heard the term "conned" in an mmo since Everquest. Unless the person was talking about how they felt about monthly subscriptions, of course.
I miss EQ. The learning curve was a lot tougher, and by the time you hit max level, most of the idiots were weeded out.
If only the game wasn't buried under 20 expansions. If only Verant/SoE were as creative as Blizzard is when it comes to boss encounters. ...Though, to me, there was something strangely appealing about a 6 hour boss fight, even if it was mostly just kiting and crowd control. Or the rush of actually being able to RACE another guild to a dungeon/spawn. Good times.
...the only person who feels that the human thought patterns are too flakey and un-predictable to be put in this sort of situation.
Anyone who has ever tried to take up meditation will tell you how frustrated, as well as surprised, they were to find out that you're really not in control of your thoughts as much as you would think.

I played for a couple of years... but man... what's the point? The sense of fulfillment you get from any hobby -- be it building model planes, or collecting bottle caps. Call me an existentialist, but you can step back from any aspect of life and ask "what's the point?" and you will generally find that there isn't one.

I intend to live forever. So far, so good.
