Fair enough. Then I'll be brief and refrain from the more detailed response my own argumentative nature would normally compell me to make. This has devolved into literalism and nitpicking at this point anyways. Case in point:

And Central Gondor quests NEVER will take 2 or 3 weeks. . .
. . . and on and on. . .

Yet I said "Western Gondor and Central Gondor."

(and while I used to play marathon sessions of this game for years, and I don't begrudge those who still can, for the record, I'm thinking more of 1-3 hours or so every night)

And when I point out that class deeds are the apples to the oranges we are discussing, you'll find a whole bunch of largely irrelevant nits to pick rather than address the overall point (that this is an unfortunate break with precedent that curtails long-established norms where we were more free to get to the level cap in whatever way we chose without penalty).

Your original point was (paraphrased): "How else are we going to level? And how else would they give us those points? And why else would we do the content?" I've addressed all three. And you're now saying you too would like to see it changed.

So yeah, we're done here. Something tells me that all of this might have scared MadeOfLions off and I would have much rather heard from him.

P.S. I realize that MadeOfLions is under no obligation to reply. I always cringe when I see people demand a reply from a "blue."
