I think you are 1000% right, and you made one of the best counter arguments I have seen on the topic in a while.
People are 100% wrong when crying out that “YOUR GOING TO FINISH THE WHOLE SEASON IN A WEEK”. When I put 70 hours into a single character, and had four alts both past two seasons.
If you max out a character, you either make another or quit till next season… and thats okay! You should look at my commentary on this subject, Mother of All Feedback - Part 2.
I could use your back up on that thread lol.
