After reading this thread the cynic in me wonders how many of the people asking for things to not change (or become more difficult) want this because they actually 'want the challenge', and how many of them actually just sell runs through this content and don't want to have to learn a new trick to continue extorting others.

Regardless, it seems that the main storyline currently goes through these areas. If people can't do them then they are going to have to be watered down a bit. If the direction of the storyline is altered to not include things like HM then I honestly couldn't care less what happens with those fights.

And to the people using the Duty Finder to deliberately stop others from passing content- karma is a B*****.
