Difficulty format for Normal and Savage will remain in 4.0

why would the game actively choose to screw over the very crowd it's going for?

We have very different definitions of "screw over"...

I really don't see how rewarding casuals and raiders differently is "screwing over" casuals... To me, that just stinks of the sense of entitlement that is commonly used to discredit the demographic I'm more likely to describe myself as... I haven't touched Midas, or Nidhogg... In fact, the last "hardcore" content I did was Ravana (EX), back when I was hoping 3.0 might be different to 2.0... I really don't think I'm being screwed over if raiding was actually more rewarding... Right now I'm being screwed over, because all the casual content is a joke, further ruined by the fact that dungeons that don't even require i200 will be populated by people in i250 in a few months... Peoples sense of entitlement for raider level rewards is actively making already subpar content worse, IMO at least...
