Fair, but at no point did I say these things were the ONLY way. If your take on Titan HM was "Shit sucks, I got sick of the pressure/the pugs/the whatever and didn't bother" you'd probably still get a large amount of people agreeing with you. Even if you tried content, hated it and never went back, that still gives something to build on or discuss. Not that anyone really chats up DF groups, really.
I admit to my own biases regarding this stuff; That's easy because I know what I want and get out of playing MMOs. I don't comprehend the argument to have access without having done anything for it, but that might just be the old guard reflexes and instincts acting up.
I'm still curious how many new players have issue with the content being a gate, though. Large majority of the discussion is centered on alts, or friends of currently-finished players. It's hard to dig out the motivations or thoughts of a truly-new person that comes into the game without knowing anyone or anything about it.
...might be time to start blowing up introduction threads with a questionnaire. For science.
Edit: Heh.
