I agree with your points in the blog. One thing that annoyed me in particular was a friend of mine had been addicted to FF 11 for the last three years. As a note he has a really competitive spirit. When he saw me surpass him in achievement points, coincidently he decided to completely abandon FF 11, and started playing games that had a beginning and an ending. We were going head to head racing back and forth over the last few months. Last weekend, he borrowed TMNT from a friend. It's a mediocre game, sort of for those die-hard TMNT fans, that offers up 1000 gamer points in about five hours. Not as bad as Avatar, but the same premise. So, now he's pushed far ahead. I was a little upset at first, and saw it as him giving up, but still winning. You know, like the fable of the hare and the tortoise, but the fable doing some catch 22 for the tortoise, and the hare still coming out ahead in the end. It's really not that big of a deal, but was still frustrating nonetheless. It goes hand in hand in what you were saying about Avatar. I like the website. Some good reading.
