Noone says you have to be level 40 to enjoy the game. It makes NO sense to PL in a PvE game such as this... especially since there isnt really a whole lot of high level content.
EQ? Sure, there are dragons and such to kill
DAOC? RvR makes level 50 mandatory
CoH? *shrug* Playing the game is fun at all levels.
It reminds me of old D&D campaigns... I LOVED levels 3-7, they were the most fun. Over that, sure you get to fight big mobs, but its was much less of a challenge.
As for being "Impossible" to plan a character?
*Shrug* still following my original template for my KA/SR Scrapper. I knew nothing about the game when I started and I just made a couple decisions as to what I wanted.
Are there some abilities that have been tweaked (e.g. Parry)? Sure
Are there some abilities that I didnt know were really good (e.g. Build Up)? Sure
Is my toon still a blast to play? Absolutely
Again, just enjoy the game. You dont have to hit 40 to have fun. You dont have to exploit spec to have fun.
