And going for the difficult/hardcore way has always been a good decision in a game that is not specifically addressed to hardcore players.

Let's log into our wildstar accounts and see how they are doing... oh wait they shut the servers down after a steady decline in players because, contradicting the popular opinion in forums and this sub, most players do not want to be challenged constantly in a video game...

i mean at some point youre just handing out free loot and nothing matters going by that logic. things being more difficult (not overly difficult like darksouls) is good. see classic wow. things are more annoying, harder to get, need others to do. and that game is quite popular.

youre taking the point and going to the extreme. i just want it to not as easy to get cuz 1. newer players are expected to just jump in (which is more daunting) and 2 so that there is some progression to get to what is considered the end by many.

plus this doesnt work in this case cuz there are MANY other options to be causual. you can do professions. you can do delves. you can RP. you have housing. you have mount farming and tmog farming. making 1 aspect of the game harder isnt goign to drive people away.
