No. It is a pretty valid concern when half the game is cakewalk and the other half isn't interesting. There is a huge difference between making the game more acceptable and accessible to new players and making the entire thing a piece of cake. Guilds that could not beat Illidan or Kil'jaeden for the life of them before the patch and then walking in, directly after the patch, and one shotting them without any deaths is completely ridiculous and unacceptable to me. Players with absolutely no skill should not be pandered to simply because it makes them feel special.
I was relatively new when BC came out and I still managed to experience all of the old content. If a person wants to experience something, they will try their best to experience it. People still do that crap to this day.Hell, not 2 months after BC was released finding a group for Strat or Scholo was next to impossible, and what happened? new players missed out on a lot of content and gear.
Again, walking into Illidan without any previous knowledge of the fight and killing him without anything even closely resembling a strategy isn't giving them a fighting chance. It's giving them free gear. If they want players to experience old content, they should experience it on the same level as the other people. Difficulty intact, not ruined.Now, Blizz learned from that, and now new players will have a fighting chance. So yeah, I'm down with it. Less QQ more pew pew.
Just to get a grasp on the situation, when exactly did you start playing WoW? And when, if ever, did you kill Illidan?
Also let's face it. The whole thing was done to get more money.
