In psychology and cognitive science, confirmation bias(or confirmatory bias) is a tendency to search for or interpret information in a way that confirms one's preconceptions, leading to statistical errors.
Over 30 pages in one thread complaining that they made the Yoda event too hard.
One developer update clarifying two things that did not change (level 90 and Omega skills) and two things that did (speed reduced, now affected by protection).
Now people are quoting Jesse as saying nothing changed and calling him a liar. "We have video evidence that he hits harder than before!" Well guess what, so do the enemies in Cantina, LS and DS.
Confirmation bias all over the place.
Is it tougher? Yes, so are many other aspects of the game since the balance tuning and protection updates.
Are the devs claiming it's the same as it ever was? Nope.
Credit to the devs for trying their best to keep the game moving in a positive direction, despite the unending negativity they face here daily.

I think most were hoping for an easy run, and I'm not surprised its as hard as it is (especially without Barriss) but I figure it will just feel more rewarding when I finally beat him. Hopefully I wont have to wait until next time, but if i do have to wait I'll make sure I'm ready for next time!

I would rather say you are a typical case for the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Making people google stuff is not nice.
By the way, many people DO want more stuff, and easier, its human nature.
please explain to me how this is a typical case for the dunning kruger effect ?
The OP thinks he is so smart that only he can understand the intentions of all the people in the Yoda thread (it is obviously the confirmation bias!), but rather he does not really understand what is going on. Proven by the rest of what he is stating
but you are that much smarter, thats why you can call him a typical case for the dunning kruger effect. i get it now.
Likewise, your assessment of me and my level of understanding is equally generalized. I just had the courtesy to include a definition rather than using a relatively obscure insult to make myself look smart.
E.T.A. While your Dunning-Kruger effect remark was a clever way to insult me, its true definition is inapplicable in this context. Many of the people complaining do suffer from some form of confirmation bias. It's human nature. And I never claimed of implied that my perception of the situation was superior. I was simply stating my own opinion of what I've observed.
