The primary difference is the smart loot system. In most MMOs gear advances in discrete blocks. Activity A rewards 100 ilvl gear, the harder Activity B rewards 150 ilvl gear, etc . . .

It really was incredible. Hillary built up to it, by increasingly making it obvious that she was saying things deliberately to bait him.
