Those who interact with me on a quasi-regular basis may have figured out that I've pretty much abandoned one MMORPG in favor of a different MMORPG. I'd list a big list comparing the pros and cons of each one, but it appears to come down to this:

Farming is unnecessary. Travel is cheap and easy. Players not in your party can't screw up your fun. There are frequent content updates and bug fixes. There is dye for your clothes. Characters may have surnames.

And I don't obsess unhealthily about how my character is not as advanced as those of my friends. That, I think, is the most important factor.
