Some people are going to dislike the new modules. I have already read a few posts by commanders who dislike the direction the game is going in. Personally, I don't mind the new modules but I think I can understand why they are disturbing to some people. Or perhaps it is at least one reason why it can be disturbing.
The new modules help new players be proficient. That is the reason they are being introduced. But every time the computer helps new players be proficient, it makes it easier for new players to be good. That's the thing that disturbs people. If the computer helps too much, and it gets easier to be good, then there might be fewer ways for players to excel above and beyond what average effort can accomplish.
Personally, I think the new modules are the right direction. But I also think that the Developers should be looking for ways to introduce new gameplay that is not easy to get good at. Otherwise achievers will become discouraged if they get the sense the game is easy for everyone and they cannot excel.
