Going to the same route as WoW. The game is TOO easy

[Reinha]

Listening to forums on difficulty is how WoW turned their most successful expansion with WOTLK into their most disastrous with Cata (where they stopped publishing numbers). Unsurprisingly, a majority of people that don't have the time to spend ridiculous hours "getting good" love casual content and don't want a very difficult game.

They didn't stop publishing numbers in Cata and when they did stop it was because 5 million people had quit in a short time span, their biggest reason being lack of content.
