That sounds like a problem of them wanting to be carried through everything.

SE should stick to it's guns and not ever nerf the storyline. They put the cash shop jump pot out there, the community didn't want that, but we also realize that some players just want to play with each other and don't have a week to commit to doing the entirety of ARR. It doesn't help that players who roll a DPS get blocked by DPS queues.

Which if that's true, that means MMORPG's are too much of a commitment for casual "get friends together" and SE should instead make something like Mario Party Online.
