Quote:No, Rest State is simply about giving a casual gamer a better sense that their time in the game is productive. That they can log in for 5 hours a week and level up. That they can actually play such a short time every week and actually see that blue bar of theirs make progress. It's all really down to that. The bonus exp provided by resting allows the casual gamer to have a sense of accomplishment with their limited time.
Yeah, Blizzard has long said that the rest system was not designed to make it so that casual players can keep up with power gamers. Nor is it really designed to make it so that the gap between the power gamers and the casual player is reduced (though I think that's a nice side effect). Rather, just as Bolty points out, it's to just let the casual players advance more quickly so that those who enjoy seeing progress will get to have more fun via seeing more progress. :)
