And of course… it’s not just players who dislike normal mode now. Players have every right to hate everything related to normal mode. But ZoS?! How could they even forget\ignore why normal mode exists?!
I agree with a lot of your observations and just don't understand why there is such a pushback against making a less intense Night Market mode that would make it accessible and enjoyable for the average player. How does this hurt anyone else?

I'm not really going to respond to your conjecture about players, but I'm glad the devs made the design decision in the way they did. If they had a mode where nearly everyone could solo - which is what many have been asking for when wanting a "normal mode", a lot of the cooperative spirit and the sense of overcoming challenges that have made this one of the most memorable events in ESO that I've experienced would have been lost.
Top of every warden parse. Great for single target fights, not so for aoe.
The majority of the complaints here are pertaining to Pvp and people getting rocked by it. Doesn't bother me if someone wants to run it in pve and gimp themselves in most fights. Situational in Pve. Doesn't seem to be the case in Pvp.
Everyone wants fixes to the current pvp environment, but won't even participate in testing to do so.
Play defensively (purge, roll, negate, heal). Request they just remove it altogether from pvp.
