The general player base needs to improve

Making hard checks from the beginning is not a solution either, the gap from doing nothing to something making everything as hard from the beginning wont change anything. What this game need is a checkpoint in the game where you need to rotations a certain amount of times on dummy strike with mechanics and forfil the dps check. And also make fights slightly harder in dungeons as well, because it's just too much of a faceroll tbh.

If you ever played FFXI, a better suggestion would be to gate your level 70 quest behind a Maat fight.

Maat was an NPC that basically gated you from levelling your character to the cap. In this game, you could still be level 70 when fighting whatever iteration of it, but it would gate you in some other way (to lazy to think about a fair/balanced way right now). He was basically a clone of you, and used all the abilites plus some others of the class you were fighting him with. To beat him, it was a test of whether or not you knew how to adequately play the class at a high(er) level.
