Lots of players cried loudly for harder content. Now you are saying they shouldn't get it?

But even so, I don't really see any increased push from the developers for hard end-game content. There was hard end-game content in HW. There is hard end-game content in EW. Nothing much has changed on that point.


2) Because the team is not addressing the problems that appeared during 6.2 and grew worse in 6.4 to now, it has resulted in a lot of people simply leaving the game due to not being happy with the state of it. And yes, they really didn't address the concerns people had, they basically ignored them and/or simply decided the problems aren't damaging to the game. This alienated the people who normally play the game through all the content patches. Heck, they said that they had no plans to change the direction of the game system going forward so that also doesn't help boost confidence in the next expansion.
"problems"

What problems are you talking about? I am sure there were all sorts of complaints back then, as there has always been and probably always will be, but it is most unclear which ones you refer to.
