All I see is content nerfs.

The way you use "casual" is very misleading. What you're trying to say is "bad players". Yes, content should be lucked from you until you improve enough to clear it, so that there isn't the constant problem of "farm" groups not getting a single clear or people going into coil and don't speak a word.

I play casually (<20 hours a week) but I can clear difficult content because I learn how to play.

And bad players who pays the same amount as you do somehow is less deserving of experiencing main story content?
