It's funny how that Yoshi-P interview has become some kind of memetic mutation that took a statement very specifically pertaining to how DPS expectations were calculated for raid scenarios and got blown up into what the devs intend for the entire game.

That being said, I do believe that the devs have purposefully avoided taking a hardline stance on the more general issue. They understandably don't want to alienate customers who are far behind the gameplay curve by sending them the harsh message of "Get off your ass, stop watching Netflix, and hit a mob if you have nothing better to do."
