This is a really overused strawman. People said the same thing when WoW made it easy to level cap, but most were happy to cap or level up alts instead of being upset it was too easy. There's no basis for suggesting more people are satisfied with grindy.

It's better to err on the side of easy so players have something to do at all rather than giving up before they start because it's more grindy than it is fun. When was the last time you heard someone complain that they've given up on trying to complete something because it's just too easy?

It's a perfectly valid argument. People leave WoW all the time because they feel it's too easy. I've seen gameplay vids of people literally running around 1shotting everything in wow. Vaporizing enemies in 3 seconds each. How is that fun? That's not a game, thats just mashing buttons. A game you have to strategize and make decisions. Could you imagine playing chess and you have 20 queens while your opponent has 20 pawns? Ya, not fun!

If you make things difficult or time consuming, some people will give up out of frustration sure. I would argue those people shouldn't be playing MMO in the first place. If you have no patience, RPG in general probably aren't for you. Let alone a MMO. I would ask you what is better, someone playing alexander for 1 hour a week and getting capped out on rewards? or having challenging content that doesn't need a cap because your not guaranteed to win or get a drop every single time. I would argue the latter is much better and offers a much more fulfilling gameplay experience. If you already know your going to steamroll a floor in alexander before you even step foot inside, your not playing a game anymore your just mashing buttons.

If you think that making the game piss easy isn't making people grow tired of playing, you havent seen the front page of general discussion forum. People are bored to tears already and we barely 2 months in.
