There's nothing worse than seeing level 50's already running about. You know that they've had no issue whatsoever getting to play when they wanted to. I'm still level 22 thanks to all of the server issues. I can't even play when I actually have time to. I feel like I'm being forced into playing a casual 2-3 hours a day.
I feel like I'm getting nowhere. I don't even see much reason to try and log on with the servers like this. When I DO manage to get online, I only get very little done before I DC or need to get off. I'd be in the 40's by now if the damned servers let me play.
When I see a level 50 on a new server I see someone who may have no job, no family, no school, and no interest in paying attention to the story line of the game. It's "get to 50 as fast as you can to win the game" - without actually paying attention to the game. These are the same types of people who wanted the ability to disable all cut scenes and quest dialog.
Ten years ago I could have gotten to level 50 in a week (barring connection issues), but these days I'm at work 9 hours a day and I've been trying to redecorate my living room all week as soon as I get home, meaning I don't have time to sit there and hit the 0 key until I get in.
I'd rather take my time, level at a slow pace, and just enjoy the game.
