I understand where the OP is coming from, since also in my FC there are many with 60 and gearing up for Alex even though it has only been a little over a week since early access. When most of your FC is doing that, it is easy to feel 'left behind' or 'too slow'. However, keep in mind that the percentage of players who actually read and post in these forums is really low, as with most MMOs (I'd wager less than 20% of the actual gaming population - who knows - but even still, look at the % of NA who cleared final coil // it was really, really low). Out of those people who actually read these, there is probably a high proportion who like to raid. These people are the ones who would post wanting raids not to be delayed, and I don't blame them -- when your focus is doing endgame type stuff, and none is released soon enough, you'll get bored and either unsub or complain. So no, I don't think Alex should be delayed since people need something to do if they are the type who have had the time and done effort to get to 60 and gear.
