[Jack of Shadows]

I think reduction in tedium and not an increase will help the server more in the long run. Most of us have been playing for 10+ years and might just want to play the game and interact with each other and the environment more than just pointless grind. I'm of the mind this game shouldn't take more time than a full time job just to accomplish trivial tasks. An emphasis on content, focus on pvp in a manner that other servers are lacking in, and things such as the events will do more to draw in people than making this game more annoying to play.
