1. Do you play the game at all ?

2. Do you realize the game you're playing is lacking of journey, fun while process or for you party & grind is fun ?

3. Do you prefer to pay ticket to a theme park where you have to wait 2-3 days to a week before you can enjoy it or you prefer to pay ticket to a theme park where you can enjoy from the very start ?
1) I do.

2) Kind of responded to this in another post. SE has to use what little resources they have for 1.x to design for the people who spent the first year of the game doing nothing but leveling. If they weren't working on 2.0 it'd be a different story.

3) Kind of a personal question. I don't really like grinding in any capacity. Real world examples are an odd thing. I'd rather SE focus on keeping those at cap busy while allowing others to catch up. It's the only way to keep everyone happy.
