Maybe it's time for a casual "strike" if not complete departure.

But it is when people to go for the "convenience factor or factor of least resistance" that they make a direct decision to choose not to partake in content the game provides.
So it really baffles me when people make a choice and then complain that "there's nothing to do" when they chose to avoid doing it.
It's like saying if you went to a buffé and only picked the fried chicken, then complained how there wasn't anything else to choose from.
Taste in things are personal and not everyone likes everything. But complaining when choosing to limit oneself just feels odd to me.

Path to higher resistance is not necessarily an appropriate way of consuming content either. It's not really about limiting oneself, but having a good enough reason to actually partake in that content more than once. It's useless that one should need to partake in needlessly elongated methods of presenting or doing content, just for the sake of giving them something to do. You would have a point if I refused to engage in Normal Mode in any capacity, but I do not, there is simply no reason to do it due to fairly bad design.

Playing something else has never been a bad suggestion by any stretch of the imagination, but ultimately people are trying to present ideas to make the game better. At this point it would not be "Take a break for a month", but "Take a break for several months", and regardless of whether I take a break, that issue will still be there time and time again. So personally, I will continue to play due to friends, and I will continue to make complaints about the game where I feel the need to do so. Whilst also already spending a significant amount of time playing other games.
