- A lot of people did start the game completely new, skip the bulk of content and then have absolutely no idea what it was that they were meant to be doing.

Some people won't be affected by it, sure, but others will - thus the concerns are valid. I'm sure I speak for a lot of people when I say there's a number of reasons as to why I, personally, left WoW. I was once very enthusiastic about that game and yet slowly but surely I saw the decline. It wasn't instant - it was a slow, steady thing that came as a result of various decisions that many enthusiastic and loyal players were firmly against.
