Which is why they need to go. It won't help to GIVE the game away for free...if the progression system DRIVES people away. This is why cores were an INCREDIBLE mistake from a design standpoint. By the time you ramp something up to the point where its a "pain point" for someone who is playing 8 hours a day? You've made the game unplayable for someone playing a few hours a week....or someone who is new or just returning to the game. I said this 9 months ago when Forsaken came out.
