El Patron's Sword on Open over 24 hours...now what?

This whole arguing over whether the game is family based, for kids, or for eight year old boys is, IMO, the biggest reason why this game is not as good as it could be.

Because they're trying to attract a certain audience, the game doesn't end up becoming as good as it could be. Instead of worrying about making things for this group or that group, they need to just make things that are FUN for all age groups.

Not the story quests, NO! The story quests should not be biased towards one age groups. If an eight year old boy thinks it's too hard to go to some spooky skeleton infested island and try to look for a lost map in a skeleton pit, that's too bad, but if the majority of people like it, that's what's going to happen.

Look at WoW. The developers aren't limited by age groups. While it may seem like a more adult game, and very intense for newer players, the battle system isn't aimed for adults. "Well lets make the battle system so hard to figure out kids can't figure it out so adults are having the most fun." No...

Developers need to stop making content for certain age groups, and just make the content the way they want to. They're Disney guys! They're supposed to use their imaginations and go all out with it! Not sit their listening to their boss saying, "No, it has to be for eight year old boys."

MacIronhawk you make a great point. Disney is supposed to have a vivid imagination. They need to stop directing things toward certain age groups, and start making the game more fun for EVERYONE.
