The difficulty of Normal Content in this game needs to increase.

Whenever I hear "the normal content is too easy" it really sounds like "I'm too bad to do the hard content", which ends up sounding pretty damn silly. Git gud.

This makes even less sense than what Vel said.
"Don't lecture others if you can't do completely unrelated content cleanly" is a stretch but I could see the intent.
"If you think content is easy it's because you're not good enough" is so absurd it just leaves me dumbfounded.

Notice the OP said "normal content". Why do you suppose they did that?

No matter what's your prefered activity in this game, you're forced to do normal content at some point.

If you have any third party addons to help you in savage or ex or Ultimate, then "git gud" is irrelevant. if / when you can beat said harder content with a clean UI, then Ill listen. Not before.

I implied it before but let me ask again. What do you mean by "you'll listen. Not before"? Why don't you do it now? Do you want proof from each poster complaining that they're able to clear any savage content without add-ons? Do you want me to start a stream just to win an internet argument with you?
I don't agree with Saraide's take on casual = ERP but the generalization you're making is no less ridiculous nor harmful.

Okay, you're right, that was a stretch.

my real opinion is this. I don't want normal content harder, it's hard enough already for me. And it's not going to change, because I'm willing to bet that the majority of players suck as much as I do, and the devs want the mass of people that suck happyish.

My longtime friend is as casual as it gets and he finds the game hard enough already, so I definitely understand. I don't care for the idea that casual players have to improve, ultimately games should be fun and not everyone finds their fun in the same place. But there are players like me who wish they'd get something a bit more exciting than roulette content as a palette cleanser between raids. It doesn't have to be done at the expanse of casual players, and doesn't always come from a nefarious place (even though I have to admit TC's post does have elitist undertones).

I can respect that for sure. I'm sure if I played a lot more than I do I might start to think "okay, this is a bit easy". As it is, I'm bad enough that the Dead Ends with a trust was pretty hard for me lol, I wiped a bunch on that 2nd(i think it was the 2nd) boss, it was brutal.

I honestly don't know what they can do to appease the more midcore group, you guys are good enough to plow through anything below the hard stuff, but wouldn't want to have the same reward as the normal players for more effort. Actually now that I think about it, mmos always seem to have a weird difficulty gap between 'normal' and 'hard'. ESO is brutal with that. The open world/story is super easy, and then you have trials/vet content that 90% of the casual playerbase won't ever go near because it's just too hard for us scrubs.

It isnt a stretch at all.

Im not allowed to ask if they are using addons, those that have these addons dont talk about it for obvious reasons..but in all truth, from now on....that unspoken question will always be there.

Won't it?

Only for the .00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of the player-base that cares what other people are doing. People are going to do what they do. Even if someone is utilizing third-party tools and/or addons, that doesn't affect your gameplay at all. That's a them thing.
