The director himself is saying this.
I'm not sure what to argue here.

Too many players throw around the word "easy" like it were an absolute. What they don't want to understand is: what's "brain-dead easy" for some can be very difficult for others. MMO games, by definition, are played and hopefully enjoyed by all kinds of people: for example, I am no longer in my prime, my reflexes are no good, the Internet in the zone of the world I live in sucks, my computer is not a starship. So, for me even surviving normal mode Titan to the end was far from easy, and I know of many other people who can say the same.
So, when elitists talk of "bads", "sucking" etc. they are insulting many people, and I for one will shed no tears for the supposed "small amount of content" catering to them. The smile you give will return to you, if it IS a smile. :P
Totally agree with you.Too many players throw around the word "easy" like it were an absolute.

Are you kidding? I am talking of endgame. There are the Coils of Bahamut, Crystal Tower, Sirius, Hardmode dungeons, Hard/Extreme primals etc.
Do you want to know what is currently my endgame content as a "casual"? The six dailies, a couple duty roulette runs and grinding Wanderer's Palace. :P

I'm sorry if you are having trouble in Normal titan, I'm sure SE has a baseline in terms of difficulty for various players and Normal Titan is just that, a fight that is designed/cater to a set of players with similar reaction time, playstyle..etc, this set of players just so happen to be the majority of the player base. It's like a single player game that lets you choose difficulty, normal is what the designers think majority of player's skill will be at.
I also think it's unreasonable to put the fault on the game when you yourself are having issues on your end (timezones, bad internet, slow reflexes as stated) why should the game be just designed and catered to just you? you aren't even part of majority of normal players since you are having trouble in some normal content.
that said, there are many extremely non reaction base gameplay in the game too, do some beastmen dailies, craft some gear, play the auction house and make money, do some mining/fishing/crafting, stand around in town and gossip with others.
since when are beastmen dailies endgame? it's minimum level is 43 and it awards xp, it's more of a option to leveling than endgame. Duty roulettes? it has endgame at high level i suppose, but there are two other duty roulettes that caters to lower content and leveling (getting 140k bonus xp from it is awesome). Crystal tower is considered casual endgame, any average group can clear it easily, it has the right balance of difficulty encounters. All I see in your posts are MY, ME, I, which feels very self entitlement, howabout you look at it from other's prospective?Do you want to know what is currently MY endgame content as a "casual"?

some contents are not really meant to be fun. they're meant to be challenging. i mean come on. how many people hated titan HM? how did it feel when u finally kicked his ass?
Randomize Titan EX's rotation then it'd be fun.
So you see, I was even considering as endgame for "casuals" more things than yourself. But I stand my point: dailies etc. are endgame because they give the endgame currency, tomes....since when are beastmen dailies endgame? it's minimum level is 43 and it awards xp, it's more of a option to leveling than endgame.

As for the off-topic "my, me, I" remark, here are 3 possible answers:
1) Grammatical constraints in the English language (which btw is not my native language), as I, like most people, tend to talk in 1st person singular, not in plural like royalty and not in 3rd like some comedy relief characters.
2) Talking of my own experiences, as I know them best.
3) I am really self entitled, and proud of it. :P
Please feel free to choose your favourite one.
