Are we destroying "our own" game?

[Kaurhz]

Just to add to this topic, and to address the question in the title.

I don't think 'we' are destroying the game. Nor do I ever think 'we' will - If 'we' in this is the community. All the players and community can do is voice their concerns, it is entirely on the developers as to how exactly this is actioned.

If anything destroys the game, I personally think it will be the developers, just because with any complaint, they haven't really taken that step to actually understand some of the issues people have with the game, so they're always dancing on this limbo between game is too hard, and game is too easy, and I just can't shake the feeling that all they are doing and will do is yo-yo between the two.

What I mean by this is they aren't taking the time to try and understand the why, but are more concerned with the result. Regardless of how that result came to be. If the game is too hard, then why are people finding it too hard? Is it because the earlier game doesn't adequately prepare? Are they running under the assumption everyone will do xyz content, e.g., raids before progressing to the next expansion. Is it because the game has very poor standards of accessibility? e.g., for the visually impaired (it does). If classes were too hard, then why did people find them too hard? - Just to give a few examples.

Story is a bit of a difficult one, as sometimes here it just feels like they are trying to make stories memorable through 'cheap' feels, and aren't necessarily giving an authentic reason for the player to actually carem but rather something that comes across as unauthentic.
