Keeping the game basic for new players?

I'm sure they also said that they'll be keeping the same sort of stats on the gear, without having any sort of 'gear set attributes' because it would be too complicated. They must think we're all thick as shit...

Err.. I bet a huge percentage of the playerbase has spent a tremendous amount of time playing WoW. Gear sets are sorta the norm over there. Hell, it's the Gold Standard of MMOs and, uh, it's 1000000x more complex than this game.

As for the lack of buffing... it makes me sad. I remember playing a priest character in other games and standing on the corner in noobville just so I could buff the crap out of lowbie characters as they ran out into the world for the first time. It was great.
