Why do casuals act as if it's the end of the world when suggesting?

Could you (or, anyone) honestly call dungeons, content that people could AoE-step-one spam or auto-attack their way through, "midcore"?

The new dungeons are decidedly not these. If every player does what you say, you will fail. Someone needs to heal and the boss mechanics require at least passing attention payed. Just because you can be carried, does not mean they are braindead. My main point being that it isn't up to ME to tell others what is hard or is easy, it's a matter of understanding that things I find reflexive may be someone elses wall, and vice versa.

Yes, subjectivity is a thing, but to go to the absolute minimum difficulty and suddenly call it "midcore" (i.e., "between the content regularly pursued by the 'hardcore' --those who prefer challenge and generally gravitate towards whatever sub-genres of content in the game that most provide it and/or reward commitment/investment in terms of time or knowledge-- and 'casual' --those who would form a pseudo-group that tends to prefer a broader span of content or may not find the more challenge-centric content as enjoyable or accessible (sometimes due to lacking the specific interest or contiguous time required to make satisfying progress in such sub-genres)"... is not a matter of subjectivity. That's just a misnomer.

Making your text tiny is incredibly annoying. Just write it out. Again you are personally making a judgement call about what is easy and what is not. You are literally telling others that because a concept you find simple to understand is easily implemented BY YOU.. it's easy. Many people in this thread are subtly (and not so subtly) "bragging" about what they find easy and it's detracting from the actual problem. When someone says "don't make something savage difficulty!" try to understand what they actually consider to be that difficult before condemning them.



An absolute minimum difficulty (to me) would be the capability to login to the game and watch a cutscene and progress and even then I've seen people struggle. So my personal baseline doesn't matter and I need to remember that challenges to me aren't everyones challenges, and mind-numbing to me is someone elses whiteknuckle.

No matter what difficulty is there is always people who says the game is either too hard or too easy.

someone will always complain.. yes. However I am sometimes shocked at what the forum chooses to complain about.
