Yoshi-P: "If you want more engaging content, go play Ultimate"

[ForteNightshade]

I mean, the answer is "some/many did, some didn't have an opinion either way, no one was really saying at the time it was a bad idea", or something akin to that. And yes, I agree people didn't see it coming - I've literally said this, what, 2 or 3 times now? - perhaps try reading my posts before hitting the reply button...

Perhaps you should try reading mine.

You have a horrible tendency to ignore context. In three separate posts you directly put the blame on raiders or the "1%" as you kept insisting on calling them about the two minute meta and not the development team.

This whole debated started because you essentially said "the 1% didn't think about what they were asking for" despite it being impossible because they had zero frame of reference to even draw that conclusion.

Bluntly stated, you responded to me claiming these complaints only happened "after the fact" because "these people DID ask for this BEFORE hand." Putting aside the ridiculous notion SE would make sweeping changes based on parsers, you're putting the blame on raiders for not being clairvoyant.

The casual players didn't ask for this while raiders (SOME raiders, but RAIDERS did). You can't blame the change on casuals for what raiders wanted. Yoshi P said "skill floor", not "casuals", and while you think of the two as synonymous, what you call casuals aren't the skill floor as they aren't running high end content. What he's talking about are mid-core raiders.

And you're still doing it.

What's comical is you use a modifier only to make an absolute statement in the very next sentence all while missing the point completely. I never said causals asked for this:

"All of that aside, no the casual players didn't ask for this but they are the reason it happened."

If you're going to accuse someone of not reading your responses, maybe you should actually read theirs.

That statement isn't trying to make casuals and skill floor synonymous. You're conflating two different things (again). What I said isn't an opinion, it's fact. They made these changes with casual players in mind because those were the players having perceived difficulty utilizing buffs correctly.

It isn't blaming any player demographic but simply acknowledging the root cause for why it happened. Casual players can be raiders who... play casually. Midcore players aren't struggling with buff timings nor does it change anything I said even if they were. The two minute meta was made for accessibility purposes not because any one demographic demanded it.
