Are you saying you [i]don't[/i] think they're trying to cater to the hardcore base? I get your point with PvP, but given that more and more of the PvE stuff seems to be made-to-stream, it seems like that's the new direction they're going. Calling PvE pathetically easy is fine, but endgame content is light level-gated, and raids are a pretty stream-friendly activity (because people are literally being told on these forums to watch videos before trying).
