I have mixed feelings about this. It's nice to see everything but when WoW introduced "looking for raid" (a feature that made raids drop low ilvl gear and made them as hard as a standard dungeon) it made the world feel smaller.

There was a nice feeling when I saw someone with gear from the game's hardest raids and knew I would never get that gear unless I devoted some real time to raiding. When LFR came out a lot of people felt that they had nothing else to aspire to and many raiding guilds started to fall apart. Yes, the gear was not very good but you still killed that dragon.

I'm a new player and fairly casual. It will be a long time before I am ready for, say, the Final Coil.... And I'm okay with this. I'm not ready yet.

If I keep to it maybe someday I will be.

It's an MMO. You're not supposed to experience everything easily.
