I'm just not a casual gamer. I'm a gamer that likes to dive in and find things out. I like to know what I'm doing, I like to know how systems work, but I don't want to be told by the game "don't go here yet" or "don't fight this yet" or "watch out for this". That is ridiculous. At least for me.
I hate to break it to you, but you are. Take WoW or City of Heroes, the people constantly demand more information. CoH used to hide everything from you like FFXI, but it was due to player demand that they gave exact numbers for damage output in the tooltips. Hell, WoW gives you DPS information and FFXI doesn't, so what did people do? Use third party parsers just to get that info. More information is better for most players. The fact that the vast majority of people play MMOs that give this information should be an indication for you.
