Would you like more exploration options?

"Everyday we take the Massive daily posts and bring them to Dragoon discussions. We would like to thank Massively for their original content."

Let's not mince words -- when you hear about a new location in any MMOs, you know it's being added so you can go in and kill its inhabitants. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, especially seeing as every new level brings MMO characters new ways to dice, filet, and otherwise demolish said inhabitants. But as many players have noted, it would be nice if there were occasionally other options, such as the puzzles and traps that Dungeons and Dragons Online places in some of its adventures.

So would you like to see more exploration options in MMOs? Would you enjoy the chance to have a new location where you had to puzzle your way past traps and not draw your sword (or gun or electrical magic or whatever)? How about exploring a landscape without certain knowledge about what was on the other side? Or do you feel that's a thing of the past and so long as answers and guides are freely available online that exploration can't quite be replicated?

I'm not really into puzzles and shit, but exploring a beautifully detailed world is great, one of the reasons I actually liked WoW. I think alot of people feel the same way, so I would definately like to see more exploration.

Just a value in the world, making you travel and see it's scope rather than insta-teleport.

always liked the mass effect 1 planet exploration with the vehicle thing to find like hidden outlaw hideouts and some riches.

exploration would be a nice thing if the environment is nice, puzzles i am not that keen of, traps would be nice
