After reading this kid : http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/1965619619
And after listening to countless whining about difficulty... I just want to know..
Why do you -WANT- the game to be easy ... and by definition boring?
Gear resets are king. Nothing you earn today means -JACK- anything.
I left the game during Naxx25 (because it was pathetic, easy, boring content)... and came back for Cata and within 3-4 days I was able to do heroics with no problem on my DK Tank or my Rogue.
Heroics are no more difficult now than they were in TBC... perhaps even a bit easier. Some of the mechanics are a bit more complicated (mario esk rotating firewalls and bad/good food im looking at you)... but honestly... nothing I've done on my rogue or my DK come anywhere close to blood furnaces first boss event with 4 freaking sets of adds... or the ridiculous difficulty of shattered halls ... or the 1 shoting bog giants in underbog (all while in greens/blues ofcourse) .. and don't even get me started on pre-nerf Dark Portal or reclearing ALL OF ARCATRAZ for another hour of attempts on the last boss...
All of these things made the game FUN... albeit frustrating at times.
But without strife... how can you feel rewarded... or any satisfaction for winning? For the items? You mean the ones you replace with greens every expansion? Or with bought purples every content patch?
If anything my only complaint is that blizzard doesnt INCREASE the difficulty (and the rewards) of heroics every content patch and that they are trivilized after 1 patch.
Blizzard could EASILY tune fights to be easy , grindy, timesinks. And just throw pretty purples at you..
Instead they give you INTEREST mechanics in 5mans no less... which all take time to design and balance.
They make the game fun for some like me who is casual and doesn't have the time and or energy to raid and see interesting mechanics.
I think its GREAT the boss fights in 5mans now are more interesting than things we use to only see in raids.
And yet... all people do is whine that they cant farm their little instance for gear that they will just replace anyway.
I think many of you have forgotten its the journey... not the destination.. that is worth experiencing.
