    This goes against SE philosophy of anyone being able to participate in content period, no matter level of play skill. People seem to be under the impression that you should have some sort of leet skill to play this game. It's a casual RPG there are plenty of games where you need to hop around and avoid things and having to compete in this one isn't one of them. I will never understand why people feel it necessary to impose their idea of how to play a game on others even if they are not right. If the bad guy is dead in the end then it was done right. If you have time constraints maybe find something that fits your schedule. This idea goes against everything SE is trying to accomplish by being inclusive. Lastly, I can't help but to think it's just another troll thread.

    It really depends on where that necessary skill level is drawn. If hitting your aoe buttons on a group of mobs is too difficult for you or using anything else besides cure 1, then yea you shouldnt go into group content. No one seriously expects DF parties to do fully optimized rotations but only playing with the buttons you get for the first 3 dungeons all the way up to 80 is honestly just rude to everyone who gets grouped up with you. People like that are just imposing their lazy gameplay on others.

    I agree, but I'd take it further and say that this is true of any pay-to-play game. This isn't the NBA, the NFL, or FIFA, where fans are paying money to watch the best of the best play a game. This is the exact opposite. Fans are paying money to play an accessible game. The minute developers lose sight of this and generate a system that actively makes players feel bad for lacking skill, their game degrades. Just look at how well Wildstar went over or at how WoW is declining right now for cases in point. Being a good player is already inherently rewarding. They get stuff done faster, they get the admiration of their peers, and their range of accessible content is broader. If that's not enough for a good player, and they feel like everyone else should be made to feel bad for not being as good as them, then I'd say that's a personality flaw on the part of the good player, not a deficiency in game design.
