I agree totally with what Chancey says (my sig should be a clue to that), imagine how challenging Atys life was for us 9 years ago when we didn't have anyone to help us but ourselves. We just got on with it together. I like that Ryzom isn't a game for the WoW generation; I prefer a community that helps each other through hardship rather than one just looking to PWN each other. If challenging gameplay is the price we have to pay, so be it. There's so much more to Atys than just the gameplay anyway.
Having said that it saddens me to read what Kaerah said about people not rezzing; it's a sad symptom of what I said to a friend recently - Ryzom's community has deteriorated imho, it's not what it was when I first started. Anyone not rezzing when asked should be ashamed of themselves; they would immediately go on my (admittedly short) no-rez list. I simply can't understand the mind of someone who would just stand there.
I'm not against change to add content, I am against change to make it any easier than they've already done. My personal preference would be to have the option to turn off the double XP; so yeah maybe I am a masochist, but I'm a geek not a nerd thank you very much! :-p

You can't "complete" the mainland. If one thinks one has seen or done everything there, one is kidding oneself. But be prepared to "get out what you put in," because the mainland does not coddle or hold hands.

Other games - they give you a cookie whether you succeed or not, in fact you don't even have to participate. Ryzom takes your cookie, eats it in front of you, and slaps you 2 or 3 times for bringing a cookie in the first place.
