I'm just waiting to see what the damage is at this point. It took over a year for Yoshi-P to admit the story was bad in Dawntrail because that's how long it took for the marketing and story to run its course before he could say that freely.
It also took way too long for them to admit they left behind casual players when it came to content in this expansion, and focused too heavily on Raiders and raid content (not too surprising considering Ozma is taking a front seat and he seems to only want to make content for raiders and streamers)

But I'm just bracing for impact at this point because instead of acknowledging they left casuals behind and saying they'll do more content for casuals now, their response is to say that they're going to mess with casual content and transform it into "content for everyone". Naturally Ultimate, Savage, Extreme, Unreal, Criterion, Criterion Savage, Chaotic, And Forked Tower/DRS/BA style content will remain untouched and "not for everyone". They plan to take the content serving an already under-served portion of the player base, start messing with it, and instead of giving us more content they're going to give that portion of the playerbase LESS content. Oh, and that content will now be geared towards raiders and streamers with a higher difficulty where they stash all the good titles, rewards, and mounts.

That's what I'm dreading, because I know it's coming. We're going to get a preview in 7.35 with the Savage version of the Deep Dungeon fight, and then that will be every piece of casual content from now on. Will there be time to take any feedback at all from it before 8.0 is in full swing? No.
Will they alter any of the harder modes to be more accessible or add easy modes to them if they're adding hard modes to all the casual content? Also no.

I can see it like a car crash in slow motion. Instead of bolstering the content for casual players they decided to go in a different direction and full on cater to only the raiders and streamers. God bless and I hope it works out for them but to be honest if every good reward and fun piece of content is locked behind a Savage/Ultimate difficulty trial that requires me to install a bunch of plugins and start parsing and using 3rd party tools, I'm just gone for good.
