Current State of the Game

[Axidrain]

Because if you make things too hard, requiring skill and organization you're going to alienate a great majority of the player-base, because they're just "playing for fun", different from people that wanna hard content because they need to prove or compensate something in their real life

And this is where your argument loses it's value. Let me tell you the real reason why. It's to make the game have a purpose other than capping points. To have a real aim. I don't see how making some equipments or items super hard to get will alienate the majority of the playerbase. And I don't see how a few content in the game requiring extreme skill to pass will affect the majority of the game's playerbase either be it solo or group content.

Diversity. It's very lacking in this game.
