once again if the people that started on release could complete the stuff in game then the people coming in after them can do the same thing. to state they cannot is pure insulting to those people.
Did I insult you? I was just trying to make a point and be empathetic regarding new players. Something that I don't see many other people talking about. All that I see are people holding onto their exclusivity and fear of losing their supposed status in progression.

There is a reason why it's fast right now. There is also a reason why you think there is little content, but I'm not going to be a broken record.

Also, I've seen you around here since forums have opened up. You did not have all the content up until now released to you all at once. You've completed it as was released, I'm assuming, or else you wouldn't be so thirsty for new content. This would not be true with a new player. This is the point I'm trying to make. Grindy progression based leveling would not tempt this desired player base. Clearly, the player base who do not mind the grind are all here already. If we did mind it, we would have been gone a long time ago. Time for some growth and time to start thinking about other markets and other players interests instead of focusing on something that very little people want and are probably not going to be rewarded of.

Which, honestly, I think is to get their MMORPG nostalgia back. It's not going to happen. Ever. It's impossible. The circumstances surrounding that feeling on what the ideal MMORPG is, for them, cannot be recreated. It is a series of in game and outside influences that surrounded their life and made them happy in those moments that created that feeling. It cannot be recreated. So, just let the game become what the devs mean for it to be and not locked in a bubble of your nostalgia. Drawn out progression systems are the old MMORPG. The one you need to leave behind.
