I think the problem has more to do with how elite, hardcore players treat the casual players. Once again, not everyone has the same amount of time to invest as others in this game. But that shouldn't stop players from enjoying ALL of the content. I have had this game for over a year. I just finished my first ATMA upgrade about 2 months ago. I still haven't completed T-5. Why? its not because im lazy or because im incompetent, its because of the amount of time i have to put in the game. Also it sucks when you go into a fight/dungeon/instance and party wipes once and people quit. Most of the quitters...hardcore gamers who wanna rush, want people that randomly got together to be on their A game. Im sorry, i play this game for entertainment, fun, and some accomplishments. But I don't feel the need to have to go and spend time i don't have to go online, study film like im an athlete, just to play a game. That is what chases casuals away.
