Game too easy?

From my experience of playing wizard101 for 6 years, I heard numerous of players saying this game is too easy. Perhaps the players are making the game too easy by overpowering their spells from the use of multiple enhancements along with faints in certain battles while doing their quests. People who joins in a team of 3 or 4 wizards combined with their strength can also make the game too easy in certain battles. Some spells may seem to be overpowered but not really according to it's purpose which is the beauty of it's uniqueness in a fantasy game. I believe we all have control of how easy we make this game by the strategy we use accordingly. Some will disagree, some will not and some will argue but the truth remains

Sometimes it's easy; sometimes it's not.
I have always appreciated that W101 is a more 'friendly' game, designed to be played by a wide range of ages.

I personally think the game is too easy at the moment since there is no new content, and all the currently "difficult" stuff was either nerfed or now has easy strategy guides to follow for online.

Yes, I agree. Darkmoor, Rasputin and all these Golden key dungeons are really hard. Sometimes I wonder if they are too hard; nearly impossible to beat for many. How fair is that

The game is too easy for me, but I am a veteran player. I still enjoy it since I like to solo dungeons that most people would never attempt to do. I also 2v2 every dungeon with my pvp partner.

There are easy parts and frustrating parts. I do not enjoy the frustrating parts and while sometimes the easy parts are a little too easy, I have a lot of fun with the game still.

I generally play alone or with one friend of mine. We still have yet to complete Darkmoor or Rasputin because it is difficult on us.

There is a definite learning curve, and gear and pets make a huge difference. The game is not especially easy for a first time player who doesn't understand the tactics, isn't sitting on a heap of gold, doesn't know how to get good gear, and doesn't know how to obtain a good pet (good pets are huge, and from what I can see, few players have really figured it out).

The addition of jewels has struck me as a little unbalancing, the extra accuracy and defense you can get from jewels is awesome, and even the extra hitting power and health is helpful. Jewels seem so good they feel a little like cheating, and I have only used them on a couple of my characters.

Furthermore, there is a big difference in difficulty between various parts of the game. There isn't anything in the first arc (Wizard City through Dragonsyre) mainline that I can't solo, but that is absolutely not true of many second arc mainline quests. I won't say its impossible, but defeating Frostbranch or Belloq or Mirror Lake is extremely difficult for anyone to solo. Waterworks gear is so good it is almost required for level 60-90, so while the Waterworks instance isn't technically mainline it is the next thing to it, and good luck soloing Waterworks at level 60.

Then there is the team up button. This is huge. Before team up it used to be MUCH harder to get a group together to do something like Waterworks.

So I generally sort of coast along solo, doing brainless street fights and easy bosses, then maybe once a day do something hard enough I want to work with a group. The easy stuff is relaxing, the tough cheating bosses keep me on my toes, and the very toughest require me to work with others. Basically I like the balance. I do encourage Kingsisle to keep introducing very tough (but not necessarily mainline) content at the mid to high levels, so people really powered up with near-perfect pets and awesome fully jeweled farmed or crown gear have something to do that is challenging.
