My own concern is this: I play less than the people who are currently earning level 50, but by the time I
actually get there, I will have as much (if not more) played time than any current level 50 had at the
time they achieved the level. They will be wearing Planes Armor, they will have Planes Weapons, they will
be playing Planes Instruments. And I will not be able to get any of those items. Why? Because either:
a) the levels of those areas will be increased, or b) a ton of level 60-75s (whatever, it doesn't really
matter...) will be there beating me to it. I have, for a couple of months now, been admiring the Planes
stuff I've seen other people wearing, and checking out the stats of new stuff as it is discovered, and
dreaming of owning it. By the time I get level 50, I will have earned the right to go after this stuff,
as far as I am concerned. Now I may have to play *another year* before I get to have any of it? I hope
they don't screw up this badly, but I doubt it, and if they do, you probably will not see me around
anymore.
