What I am getting at is...think about it.

The whole reason gear is outdated so fast & tomestones become uncapped is so people don't get discouraged/overwhelmed & can play with their bffs right out the gate at 60 instead of being forced to work to get appropriate gear for 10 months then finally be able to do something. People ALREADY get discouraged by the 1000000 story quests that's why they're considering level potions & 4.0 will be accessible w/o 3.0. If there were quests & gearing up people would surely complain.

Imo why even play a game if you just want to skip all the scenes & get the strongest gear right from the get go....sounds pointless as the whole point of video games is rewards(or story).
