I personally think videos of 12 minute platinum speedruns, platinum solos, platinum with stupid weapons like Avengers, etc. have alot to do with it. No offense intended to the folks that made those videos... you're skills are to be admired (except GI Krysae users... they are to be spat upon). Just imagine yourself as a Bioware developer... you make a difficulty that is supposed to be super hard... to the point that you yourself cannot fathom players being able to solo it... then, Bahroo, RedJohn and Godless Paladin solo it on day 1... post videos, etc. It's almost a slap in the face to the efforts of the devs... and they want to make it so that people can't do those things... and I have no problem with that. There should be a mode that is unable to solo... even for the elite of the elite.
People buy into it and why you have nerfers/buffers. Not to take anything away from skills, but for example, that Avenger video. They didn't beat the game using avengers. I dont care how good you are, Avengers only without the ability to Tech Burst or use any powers, would have taken ages to do. A majority of peeps who actually never saw the video and just saw the thread, thought, hey, wow, I can beat Platinum with Avengers. Which also brings in the influx of people who shouldn't be playing that difficulty to begin with. As proof of that video, without the skills and knowledge on how to utilize the classes you play, you're just going to be cannon fodder.
