im sure everybody is so keen after traveling to work/school 1hour per day to
travel in games as well...

However, we must not forget those who work abattoirs below their own flats.

I don't particularly see the difference typing in strings of compass
directions to navigate me along roads/paths and the typical grinding
of exp by enless "use skill at pudding/guard/rabbit/whatever". Since
I think that grinding exp/cash is an accepted part of the game, I
don't feel very justified in complaining about any other activity
that includes a similar level of challenge or interest.

Of course, if I didn't need lots more exp/gold or I could make plenty
while exploring, solving some interesting challange or just larking about,
I'd probably have a different opinion.

I must agree here. THat the biggest pain in any game. Traveling. Fucking time
consuming.

In theory, theory and practice are the same, but in practice, theyre not.
