Keep telling yourself this.
The only importance you have is to test leet content before the masses get to it.
Money wise, they could loose all of you "important" players and still get a bonus to buy their kids some toys.
I consider myself a hardcore gamer, shit, 30-40 hours per week.
But in no way do I consider myself "important".
The bane this industry is realizing that they do have to cater to more and more casuals in order to gain new customers. Trust me, only very few people have time enough and the will to play these games 30-40 hours per week. Maybe 1 out of 100 that play these games.
So in esscense it is only the hardcore players who will loose out in the end, because the industry should and will cater to the casual players more and more to attract new business.
Weather you agree with it, cry about it, bitch and moan, it wont change that fact.
What you should hope for is a nitche product that someday will be released that caters to only the hardcore.
The day of the hardcore MMORPG is over, as evidence, look how they dummbed down EQ, and every MMORPG since then has been more and more casual friendly.
