Lockout - why the big deal?

[Wyyote]

A number of players are seemingly upset over the supposed lockout. Why is this 1-2 month delay in getting your supposed "loot" such a big deal? The content is the real treasure - getting loot is a bonus is it not?

Also, just to clear this up as well. Gear from CT is not preventing anyone from tackling content already in the game. It's simply another alternate and progressive step. Bypass it completely if you do not agree with said lockout.

/rant off.

Or bypass the game entirely. Logic?

The content in question, if stressful for you. Absolutely. Can't support what you don't agree with right?

the i70-i90 gap is annoying, and we want to close it.

Not to the developers.

You can go back to WP! Because the content is so much fun! Coil! YESSS!!

I doubt the developers thought the community would spam WP till their eyes bled.

Because lockouts kills competition.

Incorrect. Lockouts prevent gear progression quickly. Lockouts therefore increase competition as more people have access to the same level gear.

PLD leaves the instance, since we won't be able to get anything else until next week...

Said Paladin needs to get a swift kick in the rear. Say, why are you hating on PLD anyways?
