Why do people avoid getting better at the game?

[MintnHoney]

Casual content is made for casuals, and its therefore easy

Hardcore content is made for hardcore raiders, and its therefore very hard

And yet there exists but one suite of abilities for players to use for each job, in both types of content you describe. Mastery of a game focused on accurate choreography not withstanding, that has left us with jobs losing bits and pieces of themselves over expansions, with the general take away being that it was done to make them more "accessible" rather than to tighten up the gameplay or necessarily make them more "fun."

Which was my point.

Note that this isn't me saying that the casual players, or even players that just aren't skilled in general, are at fault for this turn in job design. This is Squeen baggage, which has many different variables pushing the direction (with some not as agreeable as others).
