    Am I high or did Ren Thras make a smurf account? That aside, I think UCOB at launch / DSR is about perfect for difficulty. "Muh addons" isn't really a coherent argument for the devs changing the difficulty of anything. There are so many pitfalls and slippery slopes pertaining to what'll happen should the devs account for addon usage that they just shouldn't. Just see what that's done for WoW's encounters over the last decade. Good luck doing heroic or mythic raids without at least DBM.

    This happened a while back, I'm assuming around the time the account was made. It's not him.

    Sage has failed to live up to the fantasy of a sci-fi DPS healer. Please change this for 8.0. Make Sage fast, exciting, and aggressive. It should feel like a healer that plays like a DPS. Empower the aspects of Sage's unique healing mechanics: Kardia and Eukrasia to give its healing playstyle more identity.

    Welcome back.

    Extremes are easy to PUG while still being fulfilling in a way that normal modes are not. It is true that as the difficulty scales up it just increasingly leads to this sort of thing.

    But at the same time, there are always those voices crying out for harder content. For most of the time I've played this game, once people learn the script for a fight and get used to it, they start claiming it's "easy" even though first timers struggle with it, as if they don't understand that it's only easy because they know the script.

    So maybe this hard content needs to be there just to silence the people who are never content with the difficulty of the content below it. Maybe its role is to convince them "you don't want it to be harder". Or alternatively, satisfy them with its difficulty.

    No, they didn't. But someone did.

    Thren Ras is a known Titanman troll alt, originally created to troll Renthras specifically by sarcastically emulating his posting style. Everyone seriously replying is taking the bait.
