Thoughts on Isgard Lockout.

[Welsper59]

At no point has SE called these "advanced" jobs. As far as anyone knows at this point, the new jobs are neither more powerful nor more complex than the jobs we have currently.

This is a very poor argument.

As for "players who won't try because they can't play DRK" meaning they're flaky players... So what? Flaky or not, that's money not going into SE's pockets that could be going there. Strikes me as bad business. Even if they don't stick around to keep the subscription money flowing in, that initial investment shouldn't be taken lightly.

I don't like the idea that a game that I'm so invested in is being head by folks with poor business sense. I want the game to thrive, not fail.

If you really think sacrificing creative freedoms (and thus affecting the existing player base negatively) for a few thousand dollars of profit (compared to MILLIONS already coming in monthly) is good business sense, you're destined to fail lol. You might be drastically overestimating the amount of people this affects negatively.
