First, a little bit about me. I'm not exactly a "returning player" in the sense that I haven't played in years. I have a 100 Monk with maxed AAs (as of Rain of Fear) along with many other characters some of which are also 100. I stopped playing shortly after CoF was released.

My problem is, every time I come back I always end up feeling like there is nothing to do. The game is hard to progress on your own, for any content that is meaningful. The only thing that kept me so interested before was character progression through AA. But the fact that characters now get auto granted AAs has me worried that I won't enjoy the game anymore.

So basically my questions are:

I'm scared that auto granted AAs will have ruined the game (for me). Am I worried for nothing on this?

I'm also worried that I will run out of stuff to do. Should I finally abandon the Monk class, which I have bee playing since the beginning, for a class that can accomplish more content solo? I have tried boxing, but with a monk there is only so much you can still do, since monks are very difficult to box (require TONS of button smashing).
