The video makes some strong points that I can agree with. I always believed that games like Ninja Gaiden are fun because they are hard. One of the things I had completely forgot about that the video brings up, Black Temple was released before KT was killed... that is crazy..
Blizzard stats say every content patch that 1% of the players have seen the previous content, so clearly it doesn't matter how easy they make it.
I think the problem has nothing to do with content being easy or difficult versus content being cheap and gimmicky.
Up until Sunwell, most bosses while having a gear check did not have as much raid makeup dependent as current content. I honestly remember setting up raids back then not having too much worry if we had 3 tanks or 2 because the content was still clearable, but as soon as we got to Brutallus, all that went out the door.
I hate how they capitulate to the complainers.
