the game is ten times harder now than it ever was in the times of these "morons" who think they are leet and cream of the crop.
This is exactly backwards. The game is a few orders of magnitude MORE EASY now on multiple levels.
Anyone can get "raid starter" gear easily. Heck, in Withering Lands nearly everything that you get from quests is Legendary, and then you move up to Skyshrine heroic groups and go up a notch and you are ready for EM Skyshrine raiding. Raid access based on gear is easier right now than at any prior time in the game.
And for that matter, enough guilds are selling raid loot that you can have a fully raid-gear equipped toon in no time. To get the cash for the buys, all you need to do is harvest your hiney off and sell the rares and shinies.
If there was a magic leveller like is used on Beta, so that you could start the game with a level 92 toon geared in the uberest armor, people would play for maybe a week then drop the game. Why? Because there wouold be nothing to play for! No challenges, no better gear, no progression.
People whined and kvetched that they wanted the "Bad Olde Dayes" back with corpse runs and all the stuff that's been dumbed down, so we got Vanguard. Which a lot of people checked out then quit playing, because the whiners didn't want "the Bad Olde Dayes", they wanted a freakin' WIN button.
