How much do you enjoy playing FOnline?

Yes, I know, some people are enjoying it having huge battles with hundreds of players everywhere, but when I saw a video of those fights, with this laser beams, rockets, plasma beams etc. flying around EVERYWHERE and then the players running around like lemmings I just had to laugh because this is so ridolous, it looked so damn out of place. Especially, I always thought we're playing this game as simple wastelanders, no chosen ones etc. Why do all the people then are running around with "high tier" equipment, easy craftable in a matter of time etc? As said, it just feels out of place.
And I know that this time will come again when all gangs have proper bases etc. again, maybe I'm quitting then again, waiting for the next wipe :D. But for now, it's fun for me and I wouldn't change a thing, it's fine as it is.

This is part of the metagaming.
Figuring out how to leverage time, teamwork, and opportunity to maximize potentials is a hobby (or obsession) that can be applied to systems. FOnline presents a system.

Yes, but if this is metagaming, why then implement stuff like town control etc. to encourage such behaviour? :D

Player driven world?
Perhaps some devs find it entertaining?

I agree with some of you, that even when FOnline ignores classic MMO game concept it still could be entertaining but thats not the current case. The thing I hate the most about the game right now is that "time spent : time enjoyed" rate for me is like 9:1. When I look at many others MMOs then even basic stuff could present an enjoyable and entertaining part of the game. And when its done in group its even better. But FOnline lack this kind of gaming. Yes you can still enjoy even little things ingame but thats differs from player to player. Average guy like me who is not an RPG maniac (yet loves that genre) don't enjoy the game that frustrate him and force him to spend enormous amount of time doing boring stuff alone. And the worst part: I can't affect it in any way.
Yeah you can always grab some ammo and go out hunting some desert stalkers or raid some caves with your friends but devs are pretty much ignoring game's potential. Group play that is the most essential part of any MMO simply does not exist in FOnline mainly because of bad party system and lack of PvE. Same goes for exploration. One of the most entertaining MMO features that do not exist in FOnline world. And of course character development inherited from original games is absolutely not suitable for MMO needs in its current state.
I'm not whining about why don't we have this stuff ingame already, I'm whining about that developers don't even consider this to change.

Well, I can just give you one tip then. Stop playing and come back in ~ one year. Maybe things changed then. Everything you are ... uh... trying to point out (most of the time I just read how bad an non-fun and how tedious it is, without real things about how to "fix" it for you / other players) will not get changed in one week.
The latest update needed 3 months of work. I actually started with my stuff already in december 2009. You think the update wasn't big enough? Well, but that's how much time it needs. Now imagine all the exploring and group PvE action (which is definitive present right now already) that you want to have... it will need more time. Much more time to get it done.
So... like written in the first sentence. Instead of opening threads about this 'issues' every three days, yeah... like written above. Because we will not be able to change it in one week, along with reworked stealing, reworked sneaking, reworked barter and reworked what so ever. Each day there is a new player who points out to things that should be reworked, up to a point where you think to yourself, is it even worth that work?
Most likely not, still we are doing this. People might be right, we are idiots. :)
