so more fun would be faster with less need to farm content?
seems to me that this is not the general direction of improvement they can move in.
1. we have only a small handful of people doing dev work so they cant spit out new content every 6 weeks to keep the frothing masses at bay.
2. people who farm everything and don't have brain problems stop playing once they have all the stuff...
3. having people not play makes for server sad face
so why I can see that it would indeed make it faster for you to get to the end with these ideas I really don't see the advantage for the server..
Hurty no matter what the devs do people will either finish everything, or burn out from the difficulty. Little quirks that make people frustrated don't add to the challenge, they just turn new players off to the server. I think new players on EZ do one of the following:
1.) They quit before they reach level 50 because they think the server is too easy (clueless).
2.) They quit after potime when they realize they need more than one toon and have to learn mq2.
3.) They quit after Qvic when they realize how much content there is and how much grinding is required.
4.) They burn out around T5 out of sheer exhaustion.
5.) They beat the game and stop playing.
6.) They play casually and never finish the content always having more to do.
I believe the number of people in category 5 is a lot less than you think. The vast majority probably punch out in 1-4, and very few folks are in 6.
You're right the devs have limited time. They already do so much and have created so much content. Instead of bugging them about more content, I think it's okay for people to make suggestions on how to improve what we already have - they're just suggestions - and some of these changes might help convince more new folks to stick around. I'm amazed Hate is doing T10 right now while also fixing issues constantly with Akka - it's a lot to ask either way. Regardless, let's not attack every person who makes suggestions by saying they "just want it easier," when we know most people actually leave the server specifically because it's too hard.
