That completely unfair, Pence.

Does the *amount* of time not factor into a time-gate? You're implication is that all time-gates are created equal, which is absurd. You can't just say it "needs to be Grind-based". Quantify it. I did, and I'm saying it's too much. Your words are vague and unhelpful, and they feel mildly condescending if I were to be honest.

I've been playing MMOs since WoW was first released. This is the first time grinding or time-gating has left me so exhausted and unmotivated. The light at the end of the tunnel is so much further away than any other MMO I've played, and yes, I've played a lot. Have you played Eve Online? That is one hell of a time-gate if ever I saw it, but it works perfectly and I don't have any of the qualms that I have with SE.

Address the point of the post, not your assumptions about me. I'm not here to debate whether or not you think I'm suitable for MMOs, or whether you feel I'm being over-entitled with content and progression. That's not going to get us anywhere besides pointless bickering.
