I will state up front that I know a lot of people who have or are getting ready to bail on this game because of them. So also explain why a lower population and less money in SE's pockets are good, as well, for us long-term.

I'll be waiting.
Not saying I agree, but what everyone will tell you is the same thing: Artificial limitations are put in place so you don't wear out the content too quickly. If there was no limitation, you would have all the gear you wanted in a matter of days, then complain you don't have anything to do in the game anymore.
