Dear SE: Please listen to actual players, not just content creators

[TomsYoungerBro]

In today’s live letter, Yoshi-P openly admitted that the development team is feeling the pressure from the constant demand for new, challenging content. He mentioned that the staff is stretched thin with trying to balance delivering fresh and exciting content while keeping up with player expectations.

It’s no secret that the team is working tirelessly, but I can’t help but wonder if part of that strain comes from trying to cater too heavily to the hardcore community.

This is a product of their own demise, and not the fault of content creators. When you water down all the jobs to pathetically simple and homogenized forms, the only satisfaction you can get out of the game (combat-wise) is through the encounters themselves. This huge imbalance puts a lot of pressure on the content to generate that satisfaction all by itself. What makes it even worse is new combat content comes out every 4 months or so, while classes get major reworks/updates only 1 per expac. Sorry not sorry Yoshi P. This is your fault
