Your exactly right, in this day and age MMO's like WoW that are so blindly easy are what makes the coin... The larger amount of gamers from the newer generation are not used to things being hard... I've seen my nephews complain about a game being impossible to beat, and too hard... where i have just walked up grabbed the controller and after 5 mins of getting familiar with the game i just blast thru... Now days i look forward to games like dark souls cause i know there's gonna be a challenge and that there will be a learning curve... i don't like to pick up a game and have complete understanding and "1337" skills at it after 5 mins... I actually welcome this patch, but at the same time i think 1-20 should be about teaching you how the game works and giving you a direction... a steep learning curve with today's gamers is a major buzz kill...
