Its because todays gamers in their 20's and younger are so used to crying and getting everything they want that its better for business to make the game extremely dumbed down and easy for any 4 year old to play. Companies lack the guts to stand tall and make a more challenging game like XI. I think now that SE sold their soul to the crybabies that there will never be another game where you may actually die...or take longer than a month to get to end game.

Too many babies with short attention spans.
