Sorry Cz... but that is a twisted interpretation
The message that was conveyed was that by their calculations, FC EXPECTED the first power levelers to reach AT30 in 2 months.
Many of us pointed out it wasn't feasible, and offered a better estimate of 4 months for hardcore players. But we didn't take into account the effect opf the CRU grind. It is discouraging so many people that even most large orgs are doing raids at a rate that doesn't even come close to the estimate for 4 months.
The highest players in AT terms are around the low 20s. That's about 25% of the total grind, as I'm sure you are aware.
So... I still like AI and think it has a lot of good stuff. But the AXP curve/delivery rate seems to have been grossly overestimated, at least according to the announced expectations.
I know, this is sort of a dead horse, calculations have been posted all over the forums.
To me it's not about who is right or wrong. I won't get any satisfaction whatsoever if FC admits a mistake or not. But I feel it is time to look at the numbers (player ATs, average number of raids per day or week) and maybe rethink this. Since us players can't have access to that kind of data, we can only suggest and hope that FC is monitoring this to tweak it in a way that satisfies us. We don't want it easy, we just want it possible, fun and worth the effort.
