Agree with this. You can't sustain success only via exclusivity. It's clear from reading the comments and posts in this thread that people's opinions of the "average new player" are completely off the mark. The average new player is going to feel demoralized from poor quest and season rewards, and they're not going to head over to the blog to read why things are the way they are. They're just going to quit. Or maybe they will check out the market first, and then feel even better about quitting.
