Going to the same route as WoW. The game is TOO easy

[Shurrikhan]

Listening to forums on difficulty is how WoW turned their most successful expansion with WOTLK into their most disastrous with Cata (where they stopped publishing numbers). Unsurprisingly, a majority of people that don't have the time to spend ridiculous hours "getting good" love casual content and don't want a very difficult game.

Yeah, no. Cata's direction was tangential to community desires at best. In some cases, it stood in direct contrast to them.

And Cata's downfall wasn't its changes, although they may have helped push certain players off certain specs (while others only became more engrossed with their favorites). Its downfall was its content and clear lack of polish.

We can find far more numerous examples of Monkey's Paw changes right here on XIV, within recent times, than we can in the move from WotLK to Cataclysm, despite how incredibly well documented and scrutinized that period of WoW has become.
