Im afraid it is being inconsiderate. Not everyone has the time to collect 3865~ tomes (yes, I counted them just for you) in a single day.
Not to mention unlike 2 weeks ago you arent going to get the new player bonus for every single dungeon you do either.


This isnt a discussion about how fast this would be to do in the future. (taking a week or two weeks to gear up to i170 isnt much time, compared to months of gameplay) But rather the stoic conclusion that taking your time in leveling in early heavensward (or perhaps more accurately, reducing your time at 60; and dungeon farming) does put you at a disadvantage with Alexanders release.

For some people there's more to the game then just raiding(but they do still enjoy raiding!), which is why SE said ''take your time to enjoy the game during these 2 weeks''.


On a sidenote:
What point is there to having an i160 dungeon set? Since you are farming those dungeons for the i170 set anyway.

There's always going to be a difference of opinion over the amount of time is needed.

It got held off so people didnt feel like they had to choose between enjoying their leveling time, and rushing to max level/gearing law to be in time for the raid.

This is not an argument between casual and hardcore as some seem to think. It's about enjoying one form of content (leveling) vs enjoying another form of content (raiding).


The hardcore argument is only being brought up since some people insist that getting to level 60 in a day, and gearing up to i170 in the same day is the norm.
(which ironically, oh so very ironically; makes me wonder just how little life some people have)
