I saw it as once being "quite challenging" and going down to "too easy."

I remember back when Naben and Remington required a crew to defeat. Now that could be you and 1 healer , yet still a crew. I remember when 5 to 6 pirates would attack Naben and three of them would still be going to jail. I remember going to tormenta where is you did not have a crew, you were going to jail. I remember the Pearl battle actually meaning something hence the 'Teleport for Boss Battle" requests daily.

I once dared myself to go at Neban/Remington alone - when I was Lv40. It took a lot of rapid weapon switching, but I did it. Now he's a push over at Lv50 ( Not hating on the Level Cap boost ).
Tormenta wasn't hard for me for the most part.
The Boss Battle back then was pretty tough in my opinion. The forts took a while to bust down, and they did some decent damage to us ( ESPECIALLY the last fort ). The Goliath's HUGE War Frigate frame made it very defensive, plus it did a TON of damage - especially since by the time you got there, you were most likely in red or low yellow.
Now I can solo it with my eyes closed. And pretty much EVERYONE can at some point.
Some comments in bold/italics/underlined within quote.

The very last bit about making Navy/EITC Fleets harder and making the rare item drop rates a tad bit higher, but in my opinion, I thought Pirates Online became EASIER over the years. I'd have to disagree with the fact that POTCO seems to be getting harder. I believe that it's gotten easier - but that's just me. I mean, we all have opinions.

However, I CAN say that the fact that getting 800+ gold occasionally from some containers is a bit dumb considering that along with that much gold, you get crude weapons, and that's where I have to partly agree with you. I don't want gold to be stopped from being dropped, but I DO want the amounts being dropped to be slightly lowered.
