[quote] The thing about Y1 that made it so unfriendly wasn't the grind. The grind was good, particularly because you were grinding for things that made a difference.[/quote] The endgame grind, I will agree, was fine as it was. The main grind that turned people away was getting for 20 to 25-26 in Vanilla. That transitioning point form story to endgame was painful; TTK had a much better Light curve in that transitional area. It still took some grinding, but you felt like you actually made progress. This is the kind of accessibility that I approve of, where casuals can make progress slowly and more hardcore players can make it quickly. Give them a chance to get interested in the endgame and maybe become a hardcore player if they so wish, or let them get to some endgame fun after a long time playing.
