They are aware of humans limits and have even discussed them. They know there is a certain limit on how many things humans can realistically remember, for example and they use that information when designing things.
I don't think either are representative of the bulk of players attracted to a story-driven MMO.

I think it's a shame those players who are genuinely skilled at games seem to underappreciate that they have a somewhat unusual ability. Most people who are not gifted in that way literally struggle to maintain a 2-minute rotation on a striking dummy. Ask them to maintain that in battle, it's just not happening.

And yet there is the widespread assumption that "if someone has made it to level 100, they should be able to do X, Y and Z by now," followed by the assertion that when they fail to do X, Y and Z it is because they are lazy. I guess there are some people who choose not to learn, but for most they have simply hit the cap of what they can process and button-press.

MY FC is dominated by older players, all of whom agree DT battles are faster paced. I hope that trend doesn't continue.
