Comments on: MMO devs need to be Left 4 Dead http://dragonchasers.com/2008/11/13/mmo-devs-need-to-be-left-4-dead/ But what will you do when you catch one!?

The mobs are also based on your level. The maps in some missions are random; unfortunately, the "pieces" of those maps are terribly repetitive (e.g. the same types of caverns, or office buildings, or warehouses, over and over again). I'd love to see a game that had this level of reactive customization. Not only would it be more immersive, it would significantly increase the replayability of the game- even if replaying through a zone, the experience could be different with different characters/alts.
