1) After FFX came out I refused to touch anything Square belched out that wasn't an old school Final Fantasy port for the GBA. 2) Levelling down? Hell no.
I've seen my share of assholes in WoW. People you wish would just go play in traffic, you know? But jeez. I think I'd rather have my ass handed to me in PvP by some 12 year old hopped up on monster than having city chat spammed by some compensating nerd bragging about his character. I'll be the first to admit it's *nice* when little rogues run up to me and inspect me to see what cool bits of armor I have while I'm doing business in town, but I have better things to do with my life than just sit there for the sole purpose of showing off. Besides, for all my purples there are dozens of other rogues with WAY better gear than me.
In UO (I think...), there was (at some point) a giant incredible monster that slept. It was a creature beyond anything else in the game, and it just sat there sleeping. Well, in a big in game event, it was to wake up, wreak havoc by walking through the towns, destroy everything in it's path, and leave forever. It was the unkillable, ultimate evil.
So, of course, everyone wanted to kill it. So, all the guilds in the game banded together and organized a 24/7 assault on the creature. The creature had nearly infinite life, and killed everyone around in AOE attacks that were constant and never ending. After something like 4 days of 24/7 attacking, being killed, respawning, and attacking, ad nauseum, rotating out for slim amounts of sleep, etc.... they killed it.
Of course, the programmers of the game never intended for it to be killed, so when it died it gave no experience and dropped no loot. Something like half the players involved quit in frustration. It was beautiful.

I never played FFXI purely because:
1) After FFX came out I refused to touch anything Square belched out that wasn't an old school Final Fantasy port for the GBA.
2) Levelling down? Hell no.
