The growing entitlement issues of the casuals

[Chezen]

I think everyone should have everything the moment they start the game. Doing anything that takes more than 30 mins to get good gear is just a timesink, am I right? I want to log in for the first time and have all the high lvl gears, and do quests that take 5 minutes to gain lvls. I have a life and the game should be exactly how I want it to be because I am entitled to it because I paid money.

Exaggeration knows no bounds.

Even the gaming world is starting to acknowledge that 6+ hours everyday isn't a good thing, thus the reminder at the start screen. If the only thing you like to do is gaming, you might have that kind of time. But to get the most out of life, moderation is key.

Taking myself for example, not only I do have other obligations, I have other interests. Besides teaching my children, being a mother and wife (full time job right there), I also love reading, studying Japanese and Japanese culture, horses and horseback riding (never get to do that anymore), anime, video editing and photoshop, other types of pc games like Nancy Drew, etc, etc.

There are days I might spend several hours on an mmo. There are times I might get 6 hours in over a full week. I personally don't care how long it takes to do something, or how hard it is, as long as I can feel like I made progress and had fun doing it.

Being able to feel like one progressed is the key thing to what people look for in mmos, I think. That might mean they need something that seems easy to you, because it's hard to them. If people can't progress, they won't play.

I don't want to know your life story. All I am saying is that I want to get all my good gear easier! This game is soo hard as it is. I don't have time to do all those hard NMS, and 8 people party isin't enough people! Also I paid like 75 bucks for this game, SE needs to listen to my ideas because I know they are so good!

Exactly the point Yoshi-P made in letter XII.
