Thank you for increased difficulty

[SaitoHikari]

As someone who agrees with the general area of your opinion, your comments have been rather toxic and hostile. There is a reason that people call raiders elitists and it is because of people who hold opinions like yours. You are theoretically correct that these players need to improve, and the devs need to implement harder content to make sure that players improve, but the way you talk about these people is like you are looking down on them as if they are dirt on your boot.

As a savage raider who loves difficult content, please get off your high horse, for our sake if nobody else.

As someone who is a savage raider as well, I have to say that there is a point where the developers have to actually push players to try to at least understand the game that they've designed for them. The current status quo is awful as hell. The balance of difficulty throughout the entire game is lopsided at best because a significant subset of the community keeps on insisting that the skill floor never be raised. Then you have DPS mains scratching their heads and wondering why more people don't main tank or healer classes for faster queues.

It'll only be worse as the DPS gap widens with the inevitable stat bloat, and the differences in player skill translate into occurrences that don't even require a parser to measure.

This game survived Steps of Faith, Wiping City, and has recently survived Ridorana. The community will adapt if it has to. To anyone that insists that the community cannot, that perhaps says a lot more about your complete lack of faith in your fellow players than anything else.
