Yes they are in the position to nudge the community, but what's it gonna cost them? If they can't introduce interesting mechanics because most of the players are hopeless, what can they really do?

They have to think about maintaining a steady amount of subs and income to keep the game running and the content coming for us every 3 or so months. Sure DPS checks might be the easy way out, but currently it's their only alternative and safe difficulty gate. Because they know the good players have the skill to do it on release, the less skilful players will eventually do it due to better gear, and when it gets to the hopeless players they know the better players and over geared players can help them clear the content as a fail safe to keep those players subs going.

If so many players weren't so incompetent we'd have much more mechanic based content that's fun and challenging to do. Sadly SE have to cater to the majority, which is greatly holding the game back from what it could really be.
