Yes it harms me, I can't compete with the player that has 5 jobs at rank 50. And if i invite friends to play who appreciate the process of leveling up, they can't compete with a community that consists largely of high rank players. I can't level up the normal way without the sinking feeling that i'm wasting a serious amount of time by not watching someone else kill monsters for me. If you think playing the game as opposed to watching the game make me a hardcore player then you need to seriously look at the level of attachment your trying to achieve to this specific MMO...
