The problem I have with MMOs is that I like roleplaying. When I go to a place like Azeroth, I don't like being reminded that back on earth there are leet-speaking trash-talking idiots. Powergaming and metagaming are the norm in WoW, and that's fine, but it would also explain why I prefer questing. Solo questing is fun to me, because it makes me feel heroic. I've had many cases where one or two quest partners were with me and into the game enough so as to not disrupt the immersion. The talk was mostly talk of the game in terms of lore and quest elements, rather than about abilities, leveling, and gear drops. That and joking around, of course.

i have a very similar background. i did a lot of pen and paper games from d&d to tmnt etc... and if i don't have 1) an enjoyable story line to follow and 2) someone to react to it and share it with, i can't stay focused on it. exhibit A is that i have about 40 toons in wow but have never had a max level character.
i just haven't had any success in teaming up with someone that shares all those pve quests in wow or borderlands and i think if i score that it'd pop the cork on my online gaming.
