Maybe the caliber of gamer is just higher these days, and can burn through content faster than they ever could before?

Quite the contrary, they want everything handed to them and don't want to be made to think at all. When we fought all this encounters back in the days when they were released we did not have "guides" and "maps" and all that shit. We made those things our selfs in guild efforts. Tactical discussions for days on forums, endless hours of trying to kill 1 boss mob etc.. It was much different then the games now a days where you have to do nothing but open up your minimap, follow blinking dots, try a boss 4 ~5 times until you beat it or at least have a working strat that will get you the kill in the next ~2 kills.
I find it sad that there is ZERO challange in all those games that get released now a days. And exploring those small worlds is also not realy something that will keep you entertained for more then a day or two.
I just wish they would put more thought into game developement again. It is all about "OMG look that pretty GFX!!!!" and not about gameplay at all anymore.
