This isn't just a "Hey, we're trying to improve stuff!", it's a totally new game, and alot of us will not be riding the Derp-Coaster once the theme park opens.
This right here.
Once a patch hits Lam no matter how early, it is pretty much set in stone they are moving forward no matter what, they may tweak things but they will not make any big adjustments.

To me the level gating is the killer, I have seen some great suggestions on it but do not expect any to be listened to.

Please do not tell me it is for the NEW PLAYERS! If someone makes it to Epic levels you already have them hooked so this has nothing to do with new players IMO.

I would be willing to bet that a very high percentage of new players barely make it out of the harbor or if they get past the harbor and start seeing all the pay walls to just group with people they leave then.
