Stop the Grind-to-the-Endgame madness!

[Duelle]

This will be a short one. I long for a game in which the steps forward are packed with excitement and opportunities for fun. Not a rat-race to the end; the end being the only place where you will be considered someone by your fellow-players. End anti-newbie discrimination, make every level count. Slow down the pace of advancement. Smell the flowers. Struggle with difficult mobs at every level. Enter awesome events at every step.

Rose-colored goggles. You are wearing them and need to take them off.

Even if it weren't a rat race by design, people will do everything in their power to turn it into one. Such are the way of things.
