I prefer my PC to be a Character, not a Toon.

Still waiting on those mythical "lots and lots" of people who are being "locked out of the game" by something that is already being fixed in the next patch by the way. You and TC both.
You can interpret it however you want and disagree with it but it doesn't mean that I'm being disingenuous, never asked for any game focus to be changed but rather having the option available so I don't know how that affects the game's creativity, maybe indirectly, I don't know. And again, this option would change nothing for me personally since I'd follow and enjoy the story as I've always done. I've made posts before related to story so take that as your proof.

Main reason why I want this option as much as I do is because of the complaints I've read about on MMO forums (not this one) and it annoys me that players have to wait as long as they had to before they can get into exciting combat and experience, it felt like a waste to lose out on those players just because of the slog of MSQ, and I've also got friends who quit soon after trying the game due to lack of exciting gameplay at lower levels. I realize however that if they could make you unlock abilities MUCH faster, to the point you have almost your whole kit at lvl 50, this wouldn't be as much of an issue.

Also not sure what you mean with "Still waiting.. " where are you waiting on them? Where do you expect them to show up? Not in the game since MSQ is still very much mandatory. No idea what you mean there.
