The Current Status of FFXIV Patch 3.1 and How to Address it Moving Forward

"We saw a lot of people did Easy Mode Alexander." Of course they did, it was easy content at a borderline insulting level with what had the best gear until Esoteric/Savage. You were basically handing candy to people on a silver platter, of course lots of people are going to go in and grab it.

SE should be focusing on trying to get less experienced people into challenging content, and then try to get people into really hard content after that. Not release an easy mode so you don't have to put the effort end game.

Exactly. It makes me nervous to think they're looking at the loot pinata that is Alex Normal and think because it's easy to complete that it's a successful raid model. Where is the story? Where is the sense of accomplishment? Entry level raiding should be left to the 24-mans. I want raiding to feel like Coil again.
