I've always maintained that the idea of the One True Playerbase is a construct proposed to get people to design the game the way they want it to be designed.

No group will like all of the same things, even among a group that still likes a commonÂ thing, such as a game.

I do kinda agree, it's a bit of a buzzword. Yet there is something to be said for encouraging certain kinds of player behavior.Â

I think the purpose of doing hard content should correlate to the reward. I do think it's sorta dumb that aurum vale is a wall against housing, though it came out long before, so that was clearly unintentional. But say, I would be disappointed if to level crafters I needed unique untradeable mats from Vale. I actually like that dungeon; it's the people who attempt it and leave midway with their tails between their legs (sorry miqote) that ruin it.
That being said, I still think there should have been a gradual ramp up in difficulty in main content. There seems to be a notable jump around steps and the chrysalis, rather than a gradual increase, and a quick drop back down to trivial.

One heck of a nice run!
