MSQ Difficulty and Exclusion

[DPZ2]

Wildstar died because Carbine was utterly incompetent. They eventually dialed back on some of the pointlessly punishing aspects and did introduce some really fun casual content. Unfortunately ...

By the time Carbine's Management became the fall guy for the game's failure, it was too late. The initial concept was flawed, in that the creators thought that a large number of people would willingly pay a subscription for a much harder MMORPG. The game was fun enough, but the skill/luck required to get through those 'punishing aspects' equated to a great reduction in the number of paying players.

I enjoyed it, but there were less hard-core MMORPGs with 'fun casual content' out there on the market, vying for my time.
