Easy or hard matters not to me.

I find that hard to believe. If it was so hard that you couldn't get to
level one you wouldn't enjoy it. If it was so easy that you auto-picked
up quests, quest mobs lined up to be killed and then you auto-handed the
quests in until level 80 I wouldn't have thought that you'd enjoy that
either.


I'm reminded of a cartoon that ran in Dragon magazine many *mumble* years
ago. Two knights in armor are standing in front of a large retangular
wooden crate, about 8 feet tall. There is a horizontal slot cut into each
side of the crate, and it is labeled "Contains: One Minotaur. Insert
sword for 375xp".

The one knight says to the other: "Kinda takes all the fun out of it."

I think, though, that people roll their eyes at some of the charges of "OMG
its too easy lol" because some of the stuff being objected to is honestly
not that big a deal. Mounts at 20 is a quality-of-life issue, not a
difficulty issue.

Like the little boy who cries wolf, sooner or later you start to tune out
people who react to *every* change the same way, whether they are
protesting the dumbing down of the game or saying that the nerfs to their
abilities have ruined their class and made it not worth playing. (These
are, in truth, flip sides of the same delusional coin.)
