Am I just old fashioned?

[Potchi]

I honestly agree with the OP 100%. I think there is a great divide and it stands between the I want it now people and the people who want to play the game to enjoy the journey. The thing is... How selfish can people be? 95% of this game is completely unthreatening content as is. And the world is 100% unthreatening. So those who want their stuff now can still have it. Why is it so bad for SE to try to cater to those of us who do want the journey as well. Like someone who posted before me said, those who want to burn through the world are going to find themselves standing in a crown prob in is hard just waiting for DFers and PFers anyways, so what is so wrong with them giving the other group of players what they are looking for too. SE is trying to appease two very different group dynamics.

Also to keep in mind, I HIGHLY doubt the areas will become irrelevant. Like someone said before me. FATEs are a huge indicator of this. How many of us had to spend hours on in central shroud doing fates for our atma...? Lol...

What it comes down to though is the fact that there is a great divide between the players who want the destination and those who want the journey. I will say this right now. There is nothing wrong with wanting either, it doesnt make anyone old fashioned or inferior and treat someone as such because of what they desire more is stupidity and arrogance. What I would ask of those that want the destination more though to really evaluate if the idea of socializing for a small portion of content is going to be so crippling to them that it will force them to leave the game? Is it something you can tolerate knowing that there are people who truely want this in the game and they will love having it? It's just fact that right now the game is highly tipped in the destination seekers favor? Is it truely wrong for SE to tip the scales a bit to make it a bit more balanced or is this truely intolerable to you?
