Ah, It's this thread....

Troll OP claims that content he hasn't even done is too easy - CHECK

Small legion of 'hardcores' that can't discern the difference between victory through time spent / learning by simple repetition and 'skill' - CHECK

Disillusion from said hardcores that anyone really cares about their special gear, and that they, the tiny minority are ever going to dictate the flow of the game - CHECK

Disdain and patronisation from the above to the very people that are paying the vast majority of the cost of developing the content - CHECK

Butthurt 'I spent 16 hours a day for 3 weeks to get these pixels so nobody else that doesnt play this way should have them' attitude - CHECK

Grow up, 'hardcores' , you're an anachronism. Any succesfull MMO realises it's priority is to cater to as many demographics as possible, not to feed your fragile ego.
