If you look at many of the gating critic threads, the primary players that are negatively effected are old players who left in the middle, not new players just coming in. These players left, in many cases, because they did not enjoy the content when it was current and are aggravated at having to play through it anyway and from behind.
The issue of new players becoming overwhelmed and discouraged with all of the content they have to get through to see endgame is not a small one, however. Â I have several friends who simply got burned out trying to get into Heavensward, because it seemed so very insurmountable to them. Â It would take "forever."
