You could make a whole topic on that subject and find that not everyone thinks what you find fun is fun, and you may think some people are insane with what they think is fun. I for one am glad that people are voicing their opinion on any and all subjects of the games development.

We have to believe the Dev team don't take our word as god (If they did the game is doomed) and use our feedback to design around the game they have envisioned. I'm sorry if you think that X-Y-Z feature is awesome because it makes things easier/quicker/convient to you.

I on the other hand may feel it makes the game less engaging / have less lasting appeal / cheapen my sense of achievment. It's the wonderous things about having a board where we discuss things about the games direction. It's when people start pretending that they are right and everyone else is wrong is when it becomes a issue.

Everyone is here to voice their opinion on the game, although it seems many people are of the opinion that people shouldn't have a opinion and if they do they shouldn't take about it.

Long story short.

"It's amazing to me that people still think ____"

Well it's amazing to me that you didn't think that people don't all agree with you.

No insult directed at you but please don't assume that because you find something tedious that everyone else does. Everyone here is grown up enough to speak for themselves, don't try and paint groups of people in broad strokes you. If you still don't understand you never will but I'll say it again for clarity.

What you think is fun, isn't fun for everyone. What you think isn't fun may be fun to others.

*edit*

Maybe it's just too late for me and I'm being ranty...let me know if that's not what you meant and I'll edit this accordingly.
The problem with ideas like "remove option X" from the game is that it really does affect EVERYONE when SE completely removes something in the game. If you happen to enjoy incredibly long, difficult grind with little to no reward at the end of the day you can certainly play that way if you so choose. Removing options for everyone is asking SE to specifically tailor the game to your wants and desires. Asking them to leave a perfectly reasonable (and frankly highly desired/whined about/begged for) game mechanic in the game where they implemented it exactly as they planned to implement it doesn't prevent you from stripping your gear, equipping a level 1 weapon, and going the 1 year to level 50, no leves behest or parties, maso-leveling regimen if that's the kind of experience you really want.

If I ever, EVER hear one reasonable request to remove an in-game system for reasons other than that people don't like it, or want to artificially create a sense of "achievement" just for hitting the level cap I think I'd die of shock.

All that being said, SE knows that people like that aren't the group of people they want to attract if they have any hope of this game recovering or attracting new players.

In other words, yeah I can't imagine anyone could have fun that way because I've never known anyone who played video games to be ground down by mindless repetitive tasks with little to no reward. And frankly I think SE already has that market of the playerbase pretty much cornered at this point in the game's life.
