I have to agree - "shallow" seems to be the major complaint against
CoH - but it's simplicity is the point - you don't have to spend
hours camping a mob for that incredibly rare item, or run around
levelling up all your equipment each time you level. In other words,
you can just go out and /play the game/, without stopping for than a
minute.
