To be fair though, quite a bit of this game's problem is you can get into anything and everything except for coil 2 off the bat..there's no "easing into" most good MMOs have or even a barrier of entry. So it would punish people who join one day then end-game raiding within 6 hours, sure..but it won't punish anyone who consistently plays the game.

The whole: "keeping the game even so people who join 6 years from now will have no problems getting caught up" is holding quite a lot back..way more so than the PS3/PS4 ever will.

Kind of like now, only replace the word "build" with 'Best in slot.'
