Watering down the game for the sake of money

Post your thoughts: Do you think the game gets, as some may say, "dumbed down" purely for the sake of profit? We've all seen the signs, normal modes and hard modes get nerfed fast, even the stuff that most people aren't wiping on. Or even worse, you can actually see Death Wing, the guy that almost destroyed all of azeroth and changed the land scape forever, get one shot without ever having raided a day before in the game. Or dungeons getting nerfed to the point where you can cc groups without the enemy pulling.... the list goes on.

In the defense of blizz, even dps'ers that gem stam deserve to see the game in it's full content. Guys that afk during raids or 5 mans deserve to have their cake and eat it too. The guy that used to stand in the raid with the living bomb debuff, he deserves tier 13, hell he pays his $15 like everyone else!

The results are in, and while killing death wing is a task that is comparable to setting up auctions or getting your gear repaired, there's a ton of guys out there that love this type of gameplay and will continue to pay for it - even if you can see all of the content the game offers in half a week. That being said, do you think the game is watered down so blizz can receive more money? Is this a good thing or bad thing? Post your thoughts!

We always welcome constructive feedback, but these types of threads have become over done and don't provide any constructive feedback or specific information that we can use. Statements such as "simplifying" or "watering down" the game mean nothing unless you're the one saying it, because only you know what those terms mean to you. I'm closing this thread. Please post more constructively in the future.
