I realize that a company must try and please both casual gamers and hardcore gamers this day and age if they want to sell a MMOG and keep it running. Nevertheless I am really tired of casual gamers complaining about things taking to long, leveling, quests, running from point a to point b. All because they don't have too much time to play. Well I am sorry that you don't have too much time to play, go get an Xbox, not a MMOG.

Reason I bring this up is this post -

To me it seems like leveling in WoW is already too easy, however we have not seen 30-60, and in Diablo 2 1-70 is cake and then it starts getting really hard and 90-99 is ridicolous. So maybe the curve of 30-60 will be huge, but as it stands imo it seems like it is too easy to level. And yet people are still complaining because they are casual gamers and can't get enough done.

Hell, I have been playing EQ since pre kunark, and was hardcore most of the time, raids non stop, 4AM raids to get the mobs before anyone else, but now I am casual, but I am not complaining that I don't have enough time to do all the GoD trial flags or that I can't re join a 24/7 raid guild. Well I mainly don't complain because I have no desire to play EQ more then the tiny ammount I currently play, and only because I have friends that still do, but the point is, casual gamers complaining need to stfu.

From the looks of it casual gamers can already get alot done in WoW, with the many quests they can do when they log in for there 2 hours a day to the fact that any class can solo, they need not complain. I just see no reason for casual gamers to even make one complaint about WoW, and yet I know there are going to be a ton. I got nothing against casual gamers, play however you like.
