I'll admit that on occasions in the past, this sort of thing has bothered me (played the same character since Jan '06, only level 126 now, one 3 month break only).
When the haunted house came out; when beginners got skills; when beginners got chairs; when beginners got quests for free pots; when there were actually PQs released for EXP rather than fun; all those things bothered me at the time because of the change in relative difficulty they got away with compared to me in the past. (I couldn't afford pots regularly until I was level 35). You don't see anyone at wild boars, Jr. Kittys, Zombies, or FoG anymore and it bothered me at one point.
But when Ludi deep came out, I wasn't bothered for the simple reason that I hadn't suffered those levels yet. If you aren't being ripped off from the easy way out you don't see it as a problem; and so I've seen both sides of this problem. After a while though, I just gave up on the concept since not only was there no way to stop the progressive flow that NEXON was using, but I realized that I was a hypocrite for thinking that way simply by using new content presented to me.
At this point; honestly, is there any point in complaining anymore? There are so many variants on methods of "training" these days that no one cares about the difference from those of us who train 1x solo and those who leech 4x. People stopped segregation of such things and I've gotten to the point of giving up such ideas. You don't have to join the, but really, it would make your life easier to not stress about it anymore.
