With 20 million xp necessary to complete a master with no cats, it equals 6666 kills. ...
Well, that is a biased count. If at all, cats may reduce that to 3333 kills (beneath your mild exaggeration, it is 19,740,128 xp not 20m) of maximum xp. 1 kill per minute is not very fast. Even when I did my final levels with daggers (hard to train, I did it naked without jewels to save equipment), I killed 2-3 hornchers or najabs per minute at minimum.
Yet, the casual gamer won't do level grinding above lvl 205-210 unless quitting the casual gamer status. What is the point with having to grind for 2 mths or more for master? It took me longer to get my first master (desert digging) as well as my second one (crafting daggers).
With or without cats, master levels aren't for casuals dropping in and leaving after a couple of hours. And they'll never be unless the game being crippled to an extent that may cause most long term players quitting.
