    You have it all wrong. Real casuals couldn't care less about this. Many of them don't even cap their Poetics every week. It's the pseudo-hardcores who are feeling the pressure. True casuals feel no pressure on progression.

    Stop blaming everything on casuals just because they don't even care to come to the forum and can't refute these outrageous smear campaigns! :3

    Which makes the decision even more bad and ironic. Decision designed for those who won't care about it hurting anyone who does.

    Not so. The problem is with the placement of the blame. There are seriously a large portion of the population feeling this progression stress. There is no doubt about that. But it is wrong to call these people casuals. They are actually "pseudo-hardcores" because they are looking at the game as a hardcore player yet only willing to or only able to invest into the game an amount of time that is more similar to the casuals.

    They are designing it for people who care about it. But people on the forum are placing that blame on people who don't care about it.

    Almost every MMO does this. Hell, even WoW does this. It's nothing to do with casuals and everything to do with making sure content is balanced and correct before letting people go balls to the wall on the raids.
