Instant gratification is what I'm seeing people ask for. You complain that ~1 hour to complete Amdapor Keep is too time consuming? Just run it once a day. What is your rush? Why are people so obsessed with getting the best gear in less than a month? This is an MMORPG; it is meant to take time to progress and get the best gears over the course of weeks/months.

Trust me when I say that you would not have lasted more than a day in the original EverQuest.

@OP - You might be a bit too spoiled from World of Warcraft and the most recent super casual MMO's.
