Casual vs Hardcore

[FallenRaine]

Casual mode(easy mode) destroys the sense of accomplishment that could be greater. Doesn't have to be hard core balance would be nice though. Don't want to hand SE my cash so they just hand me the gear. what would be the point of playing?

like in ffxi pre wotg/abyssea getting 75 actually meant something afterwards it was like "oh well to the next job"

Perhaps the simplest answer might be:
There are not enough people who share that sympathy and believe that reward should correspond with time invested. And less so who would think that '40+ hours per week' as the baseline for hard core. Therefore a whole new model for play has to be adopted.

In other words: If SE catered to 'old school' 'hard core' gamers (or people with a lot of time to play) there would be too few people who would actually fit that model. Then there would be no people to play with. Then no game.

obviously this is a flame bait thread.

But, I know the game is being designed to be played at your own pace. If you have more time to play than others then hooray for you.

it's a video game. get over it.

I was literally praying to the heavens someone would post this.

Relax OP, if wanting to have your E-Peen "/bowed" at because you have nothing better to do than play the game for hours and hours each day is making you this passionate then perhaps you should try another MMO:

REAL LIFE: The Original MMO

Try and cure cancer, that's supposedly toughest achieve to get.

Playing 40+ hrs a week its something that I choose and makes me happy, like some ppl spend 40+ doing drogs, watching tv, playing cards....
Questioning a way of life its kind of stupid. I choose mine and you choose yours...
