I can understand where the OP is coming from. There needs to be more to the game play. Yes its simple and its ok, but it does leave much to desire. And personally, it really involves little thought. Like OP said, its just about memorizing 1 or 2 rotations. nothing more. This is the first game I have played online where people tell me i need to watch a video to learn a fight, not because boss has lots of attacks that are random, but so I know when they are going to happen and such? what? theres no challenge once you learn the fight. As a matter of fact, its more challenging going through lower lvl content with new people than most of the higher lvl content with experienced high lvl players. All of these "Hardcore, end game elitist" who say most players don't know how to play and should learn their job and such...you choosing to go and look at a friggin video to memorize not just the type of attack, but the order in which attacks happen does not show skill.

Do you know how SE can improve difficulty of this game? Make boss AI better, put the damn RNG they have in this game to good use and stick it on Boss and mob attack patterns. That would increase difficulty. Im tired of fighting the same boss in the same fight the same way and the only way it differs is if the party has someone who is either new, can't dodge. And as soon as that happens......most of these "elitist" rage quit. Yeah...skilled players...right....
