Agreed.

I'm personally tired of all the casual whining. I said this in another thread and I'll say it here as well. In the MMO market, you have pretty much 90% of the games being catered towards casuals. That's a lot of game choices there, with the remaining 10% being moderate to hardcore.....EVE being probably the most hardcore MMO I've come across.

My point is, is casuals can't have everything they want. If the game is too hardcore for you, then play something else. The designers are allowed to make the game as casual or hardcore as they want to, just let them take it down the path they feel is right. There's no need for the hardcores OR the casuals to come here and whine and complain like they're entitled to something from the developer. I've never purchased an MMO and been like "OMG this game isn't hardcore enough", I just quit and move on to something else (Rift, as an example of this).

The problem here, is the same as I've said before too. SE has too big a line of communication between the players, to the point where the players are acting like they're somehow a part of the development team or something....some ideas are great sure, some input is nice, but damn, let the developers make the game THEY intended or are intending to make. It's not like you don't have options....it's like going to a store and whining cause Skittles aren't sweet enough, well, pick something else then, no one's putting a gun to your head.

Either way, I could care less if the game gets more casual or more hardcore....if it gets more casual, I'll go play TERA or something else down the line (cause I hate casual MMO's anymore), and if it gets more hardcore, cool....but I'm not going to sit online and act like the developers work for me or that I'm such a VIP in the company that they just HAVE to listen to me....cause I'm not, and they don't.
