This is how literally all MMOs work. New content gets introduced, older content gets nerfed. Welcome to the magical world of MMOs.

This is not true. Beyond that, the addition of new content often makes that kind of thing unnecessary. Difficulty of old content is left alone because people get all kinds of new gear/tools/jobs to deal with it, so it ends up getting "nerfed" effectively because of that. This kind of gimping is just not necessary. I'm not necessarily against it, but you can't just play it off like every company does this.

We all know that companies often nerf/adjust old content since it's not that relevant anymore. In this case, it being the bridge to turn 6 and up, I find it rather disappointing they chose for the nerfing option since it could still add a lot to the game.

Just because you and a select few groups find the content easy doesn't mean everyone does. Despite all the video tutorials on the internet and word of mouth, people are going to have a hard time on matter what. Just remember, if most people can't access later content for a while, then there's no reason for them to keep playing and they'll cancel their subscriptions, and that will make Square's profits shrink.

Look, you'll get your throwback MMO one day and I hope with horror you look out on to the forums to see people clamoring for permadeath and 72 hour raid encounters.
