the normal content is too easy

[HyoMinPark]

I'm just grateful that the mindset present in threads like this, on the forums, don't really reflect what is experienced in-game.

I strongly dislike this idea that because 'you' find the game "too easy" everyone should. Makes me wonder if some view Zenos (and his 'nothing is challenging enough for me' mindset) as a role-model or something.

???? I’m sorry, what is this take?

Zenos is my least favorite character, and I think he should have stayed dead after 4.0—and I think that this game has gotten progressively easier to the point that it’s “Baby’s First MMO”.

Zenos has been held up as a caricature of "hardcore" story-skippers. He doesn't care what is happening, he just wants to skip all of the story beats and wants the biggest possible challenge (i.e. fighting WoL). He's essentially inferred to be a mirror to that kind of player.

This person is claiming that people asking for a harder challenge are looking up to the caricature of Zenos as a role model instead of just people enjoying some level of challenge.

Oh, I’m well aware of what they meant. There’s some impressive mental leaps that must have been made to assume that anyone who wants the game to have some semblance of challenge is also a Zenos fanboy.

So you're saying that you want normal content to be much easier than it is then since you don't like Zenos. Ok.
