So let me get this straight. You want to wipe yourself because you think you, having played the game for 2 years, will interfere with a future player population to the degree that they will all quit playing.

How noble of you.

I know what you're talking about. There was a big gap between NA players and Japanese players at the launch of FFXI, but I have news for you. FFXI was a terrible, terrible game and this game when it's done will not be. People quit FFXI because of how horrible it was, not because of any kind of gap. Gap may have been a contributing factor, but it wasn't large enough to make someone quit all by itself.

Your proposal is like saying you want to make a 10 lb. bucket full of rocks easier to lift by taking out one pebble.
