"Casual" content thoughts

Did you not browse the forums either here or on reddit about royal menagerie? Do you ever read the FFXIV reddit? They say stuff like this all the time.

Plebbit says a lot of things because 99% of them are armchair raiders.

Friendly reminder that Gordias sucked because Yoshi made the mistake of listening to Reddit.

Be careful some people will even argue gordias was the best. I met one of these moon touched individuals once.

I think it's true that what's easy for one person is hard for another. XIV may not be hard compared to a lot of games but there can still be people who struggle to keep track of everything about their job and the fight at the same time.

But at the same time there's a world of difference between performing non-optimally and not trying at all. At least for normal content I find most players are forgiving as long as you are putting forth effect-trying to use your buffs and dots, using your main job mechanic in a way that makes sense even if it isn't perfect, pressing something most of the time instead of just standing around.

If you do have a disability serious enough that you can't keep up with "average" uptime/activity level it's probably best to let your party know or run with friends so you can be accommodated. Your party has no way of knowing if you're inactive due to being half afk or some sort of condition.

I also have to agree that there is such a thing as too easy. The fact that it's possible to go through a synced dungeon without casting a single heal suggests a serious balance issue.

On the subject of Shinryu I feel like it was a good difficulty for a story trial. I've PUG'd it a lot to farm for the card and I don't think I've ever had a group abandon. Most people can get the mechanics down after a few tries.
