    What content has gated you, and for how long?
    Content doesn't gate me. I gate content.

    Why are you stuck here?
    Answered above

    Are you upset about this? (if so - why? and how can content be added for more hardcore players such as myself without upsetting you.)
    Self explanatory

    Should any changes be made to the content to accomodate you and players like yourself?
    Self explanatory

    What kind of content would you like to see added in future patches for you to enjoy?
    Harder content that is worthy of me to ungate previously gated content by me

    Epeen reduction imminent! Read at your own risk!

    Just to elaborate on a few things, the reason why I gate content is, I do it, I realise I can complete it but I just need a solid team to do it, then I leave it be. I don't need the immediate accomplishment in order to satisfy myself. I can afford to wait for some of my fellow FC pepz who are still on holiday or they need more practice in order to get the mechanics solids but don't have as much time as a hardcore player to sink in. Content in any game is all about time. For example, assuming lag isn't an issue here, anyone can clear t5 if they put some time into it. The real difference is how fast a player climbs up that learning curve. Some people took weeks of full time mmo playing to master it. Some people took merely hours.

    So a good example is, a hardcore player plays the game for 8 hrs a day 7 days a week. He does coil t5 for 4 hrs a day for about 5 days a week and it took him 1 month to clear. This totals up to about 80 hrs in order to clear this dungeon. A casual player spends 1 hr a week on t5. It takes him 2-3 months to clear t5 but his total hours spent on the content is only 8-12 hrs.

    So I just want to say, being hardcore doesn't mean you're an elite, and doesn't mean you're a pro. It just means you sink more time in the game in order to clear content that is perceived to be faster by you but really, a casual player who only put 1 hrs time a week but cleared it in 2 months obviously had a much better potential as a player than the hardcore player did. It's a learning curve, some people learn faster, some people learn slower. If you're a slow learner (the hardcore player in this case) then you have to put more time/effort in it. Obviously, you can be a casual player and a slow learner then that's double the slowness. But ye, hardcore really only means you have more time to spare on this game. Casual means you have less time to spare on this game. Neither of these are at all an accurate gauge of skill. So no, the harder content and probably all future harder contents is not designed for "hardcores". They are designed for EVERYONE but people complete it at different paces due to real life factors.
