Compromise would be great but so far they don't seem to be giving any. XIV's going completely in the casual direction.

Something I would like to point out though, people talk about how making two games alike will hurt their client base... What do you think making this game like WoW is going to do? If two games are similar sure they share some of their client base. But there is already WoW and all of it's clones on the market. Isn't splitting a market two ways better than splitting another market 20 ways?
