Wow that was a very long post above me, but very inciteful as well. But your missing some key things.

If a person wanted to they can be end game ready in 2 weeks playing casually. 1 week hardcore. Then what? What if they don't wanna level anything else but WHM. So play coil. cap tomes...maybe for a few weeks. Then realize this game is not for them... Leave and tells their friends don't bother playing and so on and so on...

But I see where ppl are coming from this game is definitely not for any hardcore gamer...I wish they didn't ruin XI
