MSQ Difficulty and Exclusion

[Towowo]

No thanks. Those people you don't care about leaving behind are the people I'm happy to have in my groups. I enjoy helping them. If they're bad, that's fine. I'm a good player and I can shore up their weak spots. I enjoy being their hero. I enjoy the camaraderie of failure. Those people you want to leave behind are the ones most likely to laugh with me if we wipe. Then pick ourselves up and try again. And sometimes again and again until we get it. I enjoy that this game makes people who just want to have fun feel welcome.

There's nothing wrong with asking for more challenge in optional content. It's optional. SE may want people to do it, and so they may be resistant to making it too challenging, but it's a valid argument to have. If the problem is people aren't prepared for Extremes or Savage, then as someone else said, request more in-between content leading up. But I will have to say no thanks if you want to make the MSQ more unfriendly and leave behind the people I enjoy having fun with.

I like your general attitude, while I admit I have been playing the game for a long while so things might feel easier than intended. It does feel like the games bends over backwards to keep players from failing. I'm absolutely fine with helping struggling players if their effort is genuine instead of wanting to be dragged over the finish line.

Most of the people I've met like that over 8 years of playing have been the ones complaining about what everyone else was not doing that they thought they should be doing. Paying too much attention to other people and making the entire run toxic and annoying so they felt more like a massive millstone we were dragging along. Those are the people I am happy to give the boot. Plus this whole idea of what's "genuine" effort is subjective. I see people come on these boards and call someone "afk" when they're not away from the keyboard and they're active in all fights. Just not up to the standards the given person thinks they should be. I don't care if someone screws up in casual content. Maybe something isn't clicking. Maybe they're normally okay and having an off day. I play this game to play with humans, not robots. And I enjoy the variety that I'm exposed to. Some challenge me quite a lot and keep me on my toes.

I know there are others like me. I'm not claiming to be some majority, though. I only speak for myself. Which is why my answer to the OP is no thanks. That's just not the game I'm interested in playing. Everyone else can form their own opinions and offer feedback to SE. And ultimately they'll make their decisions. If it's something they won't budge on, we can either accept it and continue or speak with our wallets and leave the game.
