4 guildleves in less than 1 hour=1/3rd of the way from 49-50?

Doesn't seem easy at all to me, hell I almost died a few times. It was a decent challenge I'd say, not necessarily hard by any means though.

Stop living the past!!! Turn off (your brain), Log in, and tune out dude. The rallying cry of the new counterculture of anti-intellectual video gamers.

Umm...what?

You've never heard of Timothy Leary? It's the opposite of turn on, tune in, and drop out. Though I guess it should be turn off, tune out, and drop in because people would much rather turn off their brain, tune out of their surroundings, and drop into rank to fit their overwhelming need to conform to popular opinion. Whereas Leary was encouraging people to be more aware of the world around them, their own abilities, and to "drop out" of the restrictive socially constructed confines of the time.

I'm referring to the incredible backlash people have nowadays against anything that might encourage or even reward them to challenge themselves. It's a serious problem in MMO's, and obviously a much more serious problem in modern society in general.

Oh and again I'm not the one trying to take away options here. I am all for guildleves and sidequests and whatever other silly solo content you want to play. I just want to be rewarded if I choose to do something with more substance. Right now I'm not, unless as some have been so kind to point out I play twice as long (oooh fun, Thank you so much!!!).

Then bring challenge through content and mechanics which press players' abilities - not through routine rotations. Leveling is more about "Turning off" than "Turning on".
