There is nothing wrong with some instant gratification.

There is a major issue when it is the core concept of any game.

Without hardwork everything you have is meaningless. Without work everyone has everything. Image football if everyone just ties in the end. Or LoL/SC where every match forces you to tie so everyone wins. IT is the trophy for everyone which is a problem in not just mmos, but society as a whole. Without Losers you have no winners. Without work you have no reward. In the past freeloaders or people who wanted an easy ride where looked down apon... now it is expected that they are to be catered too... I just ask why and how did we all let that happen.
