Nope. Doesn't bother me at all. Though I'm more of a casual now so *shrug*. I play when there is content for me, and take extended breaks playing other games when there is not. I mainly play for the story but also enjoy the dungeons, 24 mans, normal mode for the raids, beast tribes, crafting, EX Primals, ect. I don't usually go for the Savage and Ultimate stuff though once in a blue moon i'll take a crack at it. I'm here to enjoy myself, not stress myself out so everything works fine as far as i'm concerned. I think if the game became more hardcore focused I would probably just unsubscribe. The "end game" hamster wheel isn't really my thing.
