If they don't add more content that casual players can access, or at the very least content that mainstream players can help casual players with, there will be no community to keep them from finding a more accessible game.
Totally.

Yet one of the things I learned from the other MMO's I've played is that all that hard work amounts to nothing. Replacing a group of friends just to play with another more skilled and capable group of individuals that may or may not become your friends isn't really gratifying for me. It was simply just another experience with a different group, akin to having a change of class the following semester and not being put in the same class room with your actual long term friends.

I don't need to force myself and progress and stress over it. If there is a roadblock there that stops the people I play with from progressing I can do my best to pull more weight or simply accept that the roadblock is there and the party will eventually break and all I can do is simply put that time into something else which is what I've been doing. I didn't have much to do between 2.2-2.28 once I finished my Animus outside of that all I had was beast tribe dailies and soldiery farm then nothing but free time for me to play other games inbetween.
