Viper is not hard, and does not need simplification.

[Taliriah]

If you don’t like the changes when they come out.. Then don’t play it.

Yeah, I won't. And I also won't go back to my old job. I don't take well to being given something that I enjoy and then getting it taken away. I don't think it's exactly a rare sentiment.

Isn’t that the same argument people have that if it’s “too busy” or difficult to reach the ceiling of skill then those who can’t shouldn’t play it? Is it too hard to request a happy medium?

There is no happy medium. Any simplification of the job will turn it from ok to boring. Also you are implying that both sides of the debate have equal merit. They do not, because by all indications an overwhelming majority of players are against the changes.
