So has SE confirmed they don't want us playing the game?

Too many lockouts, too many restrictions, too much content wich is not accessible for the casual crowd.

Don't make me laugh, lockouts exist solely because the casual playerbase bitches and moans that people who have more time to play have more shiny things than they do.

Imagine if they removed the weekly tome cap, yeah some people be fully geared in a day, but guess what that's their choice, yet you'll have casual players like yourself who cry about it, claiming that the sky is falling and queue times will be upwards of 3 hours because nobody runs the content anymore. You are the reason lockouts exist.
