It's definitely worse for the game but I don't think SE care.
I'll agree. They need to finally decide which group they're going to cater to and tell the rest "Sorry, this game isn't for you". Like how the Souls games have the courage to tell slower player "We aren't for you, play something else."
When you try to give attention to everybody, especially with how long content is taking to develop now, nobody's happy.
