On a side note, the name blame with the casuals is getting pretty old. It feels like I can't read a single thread on these forums without some "le uber" player getting their panties in a bunch over casuals. Sounds to me like the problem does not lie with the casuals but with the QQing le uber hardcore 1337z player of awesome
It's usually the same people who think killing crabs in Valkurm Dunes ala FFXI for hours on end was difficult and required skills rather then questing. But I agree with you fully. Don't want the echo buff? Remove it and press on, no one else cares if you are puffing your chest and clearing story/raid content without a handicap. It was the same in WoW. People whined about a buff in the frozen throne for about a week, then realized "hmm, no one cares about my gloating".
