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

If the "In From the Cold" nerfs taught us anything, it's that the vast majority of the player base seems incapable of understanding context clues and is completely helpless without something akin to a bright neon arrow pointing them to exactly where they need to go.

It is my fervent hope that SE understands that said casual players will simply abandon the game when it becomes too boring for them, which it will in record time due to how absolutely braindead most content has become. SE will also lose the more dedicated fan base that was the source of this games revival and success in the process. SE will once again make the corporate mistake of prioritizing short-term profits over long-term sustained growth. I'm reminded of a line from the intro cutscene in Secret of Mana; time flows like a river, and history repeats. It seems as if the hubris of SE may once again be on the rise, with dedicated fans and new players alike, who both enjoy a challenge, being left behind in favor of the FotM fly-by-night casual crowd who will largely tap out after a handful of months.

I played WoW for 16 years and I left because there was little to no compelling casual content for me to do. WoW caters to hardcores now. Outside of random dungeon finder and LFR which are awful, there is no casual content in modern WoW. That is part of the reason why I (and many) left. A huge reason I stay here is BECAUSE of the super casual content. Not in spite of it. How can you say casual players will simply abandon the game? This is THE mmo for casual content...

What im gathering from this thread and others like it, is that there are a lot of people playing this game in their personal bubble and have no clue how the community beyond these forums and their inner circle of raiders or whatever hardcore players do, *actually* works.
