I wasn't specifically refer to the difficulty of content, but rather the evolution of combat. After each expansion, they added new stats such as expertise, hit percent, armor penetration... etc. I think that's what he means. He wants people who've never played MMOS before like Wow (aka Japanese FF players new to mmos) to learn the ropes before he starts going deeper and deeper into the combat and mechanics.
