What you are seeing are multiple big streamers and some smaller ones too putting a target in me, this thread and anyone sharing this opinion (plus 4chan trolls for good measure).
While I understand that some of my opinions in this and my other posts in this thread can be interpreted as hyperbole I stand by them. My position is unchanged.
Ngl, you should be glad. The forum is used by.. I dont know.. less then 1% of the community. I would even say less then 0,1%.
And its not like "Oh, streamer A or B covered this" = ALL of those viewers going into the forum, just to hate it. Im pretty sure some were be like "Oh, that person is correct, I should like the comment!"

And when the game is "too hard" for 1% of the players. That hard that those people quit (they wont, maybe 10% of those 1%). It might attract 2% new player.
For me the Dawntrail raids are totally fine. Some new mechanics, but totally fine. I had more issues in older tiers.. and I still made every raid/alliance raid tier for 10~15 weeks after they were released.
Sometimes I was healer and sometimes I was dps. Because I had more fun with one or it was just easier for me. *Shruge*

And the BIGGEST issue is: Where are you drawing the line might be completly diff for others.
Like, when you say: "Normal raid/alliance raid and dungeons should be easy doable for everyone."
There might be people, who think all of that is way too hard right now.. and SE reduce the difficulty by 10%.
After that there still might be people who think its too hard.. another 10%. etc And that increase the gap between normal and extreme/savage/ultimate etc and people who enjoy "harder" content, might quit before, because anything else is just too annoying/boring to bear.

In ARR were people, who left the game, because some story instances were "way too hard" (especially that one in northern Thanalaan) - or well - some job quests. Mostly because people were extremely undergeared. Someone I saw back in the day, was super angry, that they were not able to beat the dragoon job quest fight.. and that person had lvl 40~ gear. For a lvl 58-60(?) job quest.
