New events keep coming we're getting more bits - so progress isn't THAT slow - you have to appreciate if you are at the bleeding edge 1 set of weekly events 1 re-issue and 1 character quest may need doing....that's not going to eat all your stamina

A newer player, may be dealing with twice that and with less stamina

More you add top end longer journey you give newbs

Think about it - they really have to balance - and they have so much to do, adding more too quick....could hurt long term
