The idea is to play the game for 2-5 years, if you want to hit max level in a week and make the ultimate character in 3 months whats the point of even playing an MMO?

I think a lot of the counter points fueling this debate are done by teenagers who picked up the game for 10 bucks and are playing cause its FTP. I doubt they'll be paying once p2p starts...
People are PLing because SE put a system in place so that people can pl some friends/family so that they can play togeather.
