And yes, rant posts will seldom be met with positive encouragement. So that part is definitely on the OP. But, the bottom line is for new players to have patience. And to embrace the game for what it is/can be. A never-ending journey. The game has changed. And one of the byproducts is impatience or the idea that after 6 months - a year of playing they should be able to tackle any content. This just isn't historically accurate. There are folks who have played this game for 6+ years. I just hope newer players finally begin process this fact and take a step back and embrace the fact that they still have much to learn. Only then will they enjoy the learning process, and the game. Because that is the game, essentially.
That's separate from the fact that novelty is also something that should be added to the game at a reasonable pace. Content that is structurally unvarying over long periods of time eventually becomes boring to even a wide audience.
And that's also separate from what (almost) all content is supposed to be doing: preparing you for the next higher content. For years the game's difficulty was mostly about champions gaining higher attack and health, fights getting longer, and players being asked to play with fewer errors and taking less hits, and that's it. It has evolved over time, especially recently, to having higher tier content be more sophisticated and complex, and requiring a more diverse skill set. Monthly EQ has to evolve with that, or players won't have the skills they need to survive a post Act 6 world.
Cavalier EQ is not a reward for completing 6.1. Cavalier EQ is the next step *upward* for people who beat 6.1. It is meant to be something you have to get better at the game to beat, to prepare you for the rest of Act 6 and Act 7 and beyond.
