I never stated that I think things should be easier. What I am trying to point out, that for most players getting to say level 1600 is a 5-7 year task. That scares off players that like be high in the rankings.
The thing is even for me, who has clawed and dropped a LARGE amount of funds (willingly and gladly so, I like this game a lot) I'm still not there yet....
I don't think getting to EOC in 2 years is a "win button" that's got to be the most absurd comment I've read on the forum in amonth or more. I've been calling for just accellerating the early parts of content. 1-400 and 422-940. If we are going to say EOC is a moving target, the player base should be moving with it. Not where people like me and those already at EOC can be there and no one else has a shot at even what is now MIDGAME....
Karthak is not even the halfway of content anymore. I think people should be able to get there in a year tbh with heavy activity.
I've been howling about this for a year almost now, and some people say it's self serving... here's a rare low level on the forums saying what new/low level players want, and all the "veteran" players most not caring about leveling/reaching EOC or already there shooting it down.... I can guarantee if I started in 07-08 I'd have gotten to EOC a lot faster than 3 years with the same donations/effort I put into the game now, and still am not there now.... but am I asking for a handout? Am I saying, well we didn't have x. y, or z? No.
Why are so many of you guys only for things when it benefits you? Sad. This is why people don't stick around as much as they used to. If we're serious about player retention, this is a prime example of why it should be done.
