    What Ion understands is how the game is engineered. After all, he did create Elitist Jerks when he was just a player to form one of the first major theorycrafting communities for WoW. He was the one who broke down the numbers to prove that it was mathematically impossible for players to beat C'thun as it was originally released.

    He understands the engineering. He was a great Lead Encounter Designer. He knows what makes a game fun to those who like number crunching (the engineering aspect) because that's the type of player he was.

    He does not understand RPGs nor does he understand what makes a game fun to the average player, and that is why the game is currently having problems. They're trying to engineer complex systems they find challenging to design without understanding those complex systems are not fun to play.

    If MSQ didn't work fine as a tutorial, everyone would be failing at 80.
