I think the reason MMOs are becoming more fast paced however is because people play MMOs to play with each other. If a new player starts a game far after everyone else (in this game for instance) it can leave you feeling left out, leaving you to solo or something of the sort, which takes away the exact feeling you play a MMO for. However with fast progression as we have it now, you can see that many people go to Abyssea, I have met many good friends in worm parties for instance, and it becomes a way for you to quickly get new players to a point in the game where many others are. Now this is my opinion on it, but it seems to be the general idea, and I think its why everyone seems to oppose you so much.
QFT.

Again I say, it's "Join us, or die"?
