Counter to Elitism

[ispano]

I get the impression most of us want some challenge to it. So where is all of this casualization and rebelling against difficulty coming from? Are people that upset when they can't have the best of the best? Or is that what's actually selling....?

If it is, I think consumers are shortchanging themselves for a false sense of satisfaction. As far as the thread topic goes, it's kind of like a dissolution of the noble class. If everything is piss easy and everyone is equal, no elites can exist. Though, I laugh at all of OP's suggestion and can't imagine people actually want that.

Thing is, we're a minority. The larger MMO playerbase actually prefers the "laid back, take it easy" playing method. Forum goers are also a minority.
