Why do I have no drive?

You mean a few, Jinko.

I love how the double standard is placed on Yoshi's head and not where it belongs: The devided player base.

We've got one group that insists that they want to go through an arduously stressful process of reaching specific gear limits, and another who insists that awesome pieces should just fall out of the sky.

Yoshi is trying to satasfy both, but ultimately is leaving both rather frustrated, because, guess what's the medium between hard process and quick results? Sheer, dumb, luck.

Honestly if people would sit and work out agreements with each other more we wouldn't have half the issues we have, because we'd have a clear, concise way of saying "Hey, this is what we don't like, this is what we want, and this is some ideas on how to get it done, and we agree this will work out for us." But instead, we polarize the base and argue with each other.

It's hard to make content for both casual and hardcore without ticking off one or another. (Or both). Steady progress gets called grinding. Timely rewards get's called coddling, and Skinner Boxes get called Time Sinks.

Seriously, take a pen and paper down and read the ideas that are brought up and watch how quickly they get shot down, you wind up with pages of exed material.

This community doesn't like to place blame on themselves for anything.

It's ok Elex, I have no problem placing the blame on you.

The real double standard are these people saying the only options are incredibly random drops with exceedingly painful fights, or 100% drops and bosses you one-shot.

Much like SE, these players have never been introduced to a little something called middle ground. They see anything that makes the game more equitable as "easy mode" and blame those filthy casuals for destroying everything. (Let's face it, it's only the "hardcores" who seriously believe it's a choice between these two extremes or nothing at all.)
