I can understand the OPs concern. More options available? No sooner would that happen then there would be complaint threads saying:
''it takes too much time to do all the things in the game, please make them take less time so they can be completed by everyone regardless if they play 1 hour every 2 weeks, or 10 hours every day''

These days it is no longer about casual or hardcore.
It's about spoiled princesses and those that just want to enjoy content. (regardless of casual or hardcore)
What is the point in having goals to complete if you complete them in a day and are then bored to death afterwards?
