A lot of supporters I keep seeing in these threads seem to be people who like to ride the high morality horse while enjoying the exp and tomes without actually caring about how much the actual first timers enjoy it - and there are many who don't.

And while you did say 'best', which is relative, I will disagree. Having a choice as to if and how to consume the content is always better than being forced to do so. In many ways this is worse than what we had before. =
Intersting you make these claims.I think i've only seen about 2 new players on forums ever complain about the cutscenes ebing unskippable in contrast to about a hundred threads from new players complaining about being forced and bullied into skipping custscenes.
And from experience through doing the runs with new players the main responses you seem to get are new players commenting about how amazing the cutscenes are and how epic it is.Praetorium more so than castrum mind you.
And alts are the demographic?Are you for real lol? Get over yourself.
