1. I'd say most people who play the game have broadband. So those aren't a factor.
2. Not exactly sure what you mean here, but if you mean the fact that you have to pay to play the game, so what? The game adds new content and seeing how people play these games more there is nothing wrong with paying more to play.
3. You're not forced to play the game all the time. You only wanna play the game a couple of hours a day then towards end game you gain a level or 2 a week. That's not that bad.
