Is Wow's Difficulty Too Hard, Or Too Easy?

This is always such a strange argument to me. If difficult content is trivial when addons are used, why haven’t you completed any of the difficult content using said addons?

It’s a range, you can make it as easy(soloer) or as hard(High M+/Mythic Raiding) as you want it to be.

I think the problem is that it’s both. Everything is dead easy until you need to play with other people, but at that point you’re already expected to know stuff. There is little tolerance for the lack of knowledge.

So, I would say WoW is hard, because it’s very hard dealing people who play it.

I’d honestly say that WoW’s difficutly is just about right if we’re being honest with ourselves.

IF you’re a really casual player then you can play through the storylines, bang out some heroic dungeons and/or timewalks and get into LFR to wrap up the story.

If you’re mid-core, then getting through the normal raid, M+ and even the heroic raid is right there.

If you’re hardcore then you can push for KSH (or even that new goblin quad mech at 2850), CE or What have you.

Really, the game can go pretty damn far depending on what all you want to do.

Both, but also neither.

Endgame is fine.

Everything has different difficulty scales where people can find their comfort zone. Mine is AotC. I have no desire to do Mythic.

I also don’t tend to go too far in M+, no intention to push keys to high levels either.

And T8 delves are fine.

Leveling on the other hand, and leveling dungeons, could use something. I don’t think it should ever not be easy, but I do think a step up from “trivial” would be nice.

that’s not how addons work lol. they don’t do your rotation for you, and anything that tries to give you guidance on how to do your rotation (ex.Hekili) is sub par to actually just doing it yourself.

GSE aka Lazy Macros does your rotation for you.

GSE still doesn’t give you a proper rotation.

Yes, it does. I use it.

Unless a player is struggling to understand a basic rotation and needs the help of Hekili or GSE to grasp basic spec concepts, they’re generally always better off actually spending time getting gameplay into muscle memory.

Can you probably perform acceptably in most content using it? Sure. You’ll hit a ceiling much more quickly than people who play with complete control over their gameplay will, though.

If you use the addons that play the game for you, why don’t you do any of the difficult content?

I just started using addons because I hate playing at a disadvantage of other players using those same addons.

You’re not at an inherent disadvantage against somebody who relies entirely on an addon to function at a basic level unless you don’t play well yourself. People who are completely reliant on an addon to dictate rotational execution for them are inherently limited by the constraints and logic of that addon.

Yeah but they still perform better with the addons.

Theres a reason they ban most of them in the AWC :joy:

Hey bro, take it from someone that uses addons. I am at a 100% advantage over someone who doesn’t. I press one-button and do top damage.

Lol dude if you’re going to use your alts to agree with yourself you might want to think about using characters that dont show the same server and same exact achievement points :rofl:

Can you acknowledge that GSE does a great job with rotations and stop deflecting?

I can’t because it simply doesn’t.
