I wish people would stop trying to come up with these analogies, because they don't fit. This game is not a cheeseburger. When you get a cheeseburger, you can order it without lettuce, and you can easily pick out the lettuce without it affecting the rest of the contents. Getting that lettuce on your burger does not cause the restaurant workers to devote less time on the rest of the ingredients in the burger. A cheeseburger is something that you can easily toss aside, send back to have it redone, or lose without any serious regret of your monetary or time investment. That is not possible with MMOs.

When there's an item that I want, I would like a fair chance to get it and to be able to have something to show for my efforts. I want the same for my peers. And I want the developers to not waste time creating content for a vocal minority, because creating any content in this game means that resources must be diverted from one area to another and because it can go against the overall vision of the project.
