Since it's only level 2 that we can upgrade it to, we're basically done short of killing the boss. At least make us have to upgrade to level 5. Give us something to work for. I have a castle in the mountains that took 3 months to build so I'm not about to build anything in the Mistlands. Basically months of waiting for 2 nights of gameplay. WTF

I'm going to assume that you are a God Gamer. Most people in EA will have over 150 hours played. As we play more in EA, we play better, but it won't reflect the pacing of the retail experience. We know how to mitigate most of the dangers with preparation and situational awareness because of our time played. This familiarity with the games systems confers a serious advantage over new players.

Some of us are bound to be beating the entirely of the released game starving, naked, and armed with just fists. It isn't feasible to balance around that.
