If you're unhappy with this game then unsub... forever.

Why does it bother you that someone would choose the easy version of an instanced duty? It doesn't affect you or your gameplay. By nerfed you mean they added in easier difficulties right? The normal mode is still the regular difficulty right? Also about ff16 many games require you to beat the game on normal before doing hard. That's not a cbu3 thing. Just touch grass

I know another MMO that went the "git gud" route and made their pve experience needlessly complex to tickle the top %. Its called Wildstar and its dead and buried.

Isn't EVE online needlessly complex and still strong today?

EVE itself is arguably needlessly complex, but the PvE for the most part is pretty trivial.

It supports a wide array of playstyles, to the point market traders rarely undock.

I'm not sure it's a very good model for anything, since it is so niche, but I've just returned and it is in better shape than it was 5 years ago IMO.

Fun for that depends on how much you find multiboxing, aka multiple active accounts, is fun. Also you basically have to join a corporation (equivalent to a free company) because it makes it easier on yourself.

Having to join a corporation is a myth spread by nullsec corporations, whose main goal seems to grab new players and turn them into F1 monkeys. And while I have multiple accounts, I've never multiboxed. It simplifies some content like fleet mining and ganking, but it's far from necessary.
