Wonder if anyone here feels this way?

A lot of the people who are too casual for endgame in modern MMOs were too casual for any aspect of earlier MMOs. Currently, people complain if they have to wait 5 minutes, or heaven forbid have to run for longer than 5 minutes to get somewhere in the 'world'. Early MMOs were considered very newbie/casual unfriendly. The endgame is this game is easier and more casual than just basic leveling was in FF11. People complain about 15 minute queues for dungeon. Ha, that was the wait time just to use the airship - I won't get into the potential party wait times.

I think this game does a good job of introducing people to "endgame" relative to other MMOs. I mean, we do regular Ifrit at like Lv20, and really, the 1-50 game is instances that really aren't so different from things like Coil. The only real change at "endgame" in this game is parties going from 4 person to 8 person for serious content. Its not as jarring as going from 5 person groups to 40 person groups.
