^ This. It's fine for a game to want to cater to a more casual audience, but why does it have to be so extreme? The game shouldn't be made exclusively for those who log in once every 2 or 4 months for new patches, play for a few days, and then quit again. There should be content and systems in the game for those who want to stick around too. People here seem to assume that anyone who wants to play more than once every four months wants the other extreme and is looking for a WoW-tier grind, but why can't we arrive at somewhere in the middle?
