It's genuinely hard for me to wrap my head around someone who plays video games at all to think that the normal content in Dawntrail is too hard to overcome. Like have these people been decent at anything ever? I know that sounds like a bit too much but if life is overcoming obstacles then I'd rank being able to manage DTs normal difficulty pretty low on that list. Actually, when I think about it, I don't even know how it's possible to fail at Dawntrail given that you're mostly in a party with other people that can probably just carry you through it.

The misconception that bothers me is that people who think Dawntrail is too hard think there's a high bar with difficulty. Anyone who thinks the difficulty is just fine is suddenly 'elitist' when most likely I'd argue that the people who find DT to be too hard are the large minority.
