There was always a casual vs hardcore battle with D1 and it still held a good population, the casual fan base will leave in a month or two when a few new games come out anyways so I don't see why there should be an 'everyone's a winner' attitude. Every loot based game has better rewards tied into harder content, it's the whole point of these kinds of games, to get stronger, to have something to work towards, although some of that incentive is already being stripped from Destiny 2 which is what the majority of the forum goers are complaining about.
