I dont agree that the game caters to pve elitists at all. I agree that the floor of lowest difficulty activities has raised to an unneccesary level, but no one asked for this. The hardcore pve crowd wants optional difficulty and challenges, not normal raids at -5.
The game is definitely easier now than it has been in the past in terms of the sandbox. The power fantasy is stronger than ever with our abilities, with every class having multiple avenues to extremely strong builds that steamroll the hardest combat challenges in the game.
But the mechanics of course have gotten harder, with the recent dungeons and most recent raid, and I recognize that this alienates the casual player. My hope is that the explore mode experiment sticks around. It would be a huge blunder if not because it could get casual players back in to raids and dungeons. And as much as I enjoy salvations edge and vespers host for the way I play, they are too hard for casuals.

But what was the point the -5 on everything? ( To extend in-game time ) Does that change made the raids/ dungeons harder? No Does it made them slog? Yes Before the -5 change me and my friends was able one phase the first boss in Warlords but after the change it took us 2 and a half phase with the same load out If someone wants difficulty then they're going to run expert content in fact Bungie can't even say "we made thi for thos who's looking for challenges" because expert exits

I said no one asked for -5 I dont think it's a good thing no one does, all the big pve creators were outspoken against it when they implemented it
