The problem is that certain places should have had level caps for the first month or so. a group of 40 lvl 20's should not have access to zt kr for example. numbers overwhelm most areas/boss that allowed the speed leveling and item collecting for the groups of players.
When you see a group hunt to BDD on day 2 of release something should have clicked.
Itll all even out of course regardless of anything you will always have the "hardcore" gamers pushing ahead of those with more responsibilities.
I agree tho.
To be young and responsibility free again would be fun for a little while
