The Unofficial "Why is this still a thing" Thread

[RiyahArp]

FFXIV-related: The utter lack of difficult 4-person content. People have been asking for it since ARR released. Why is the lack still a thing? And no, Yoshi-P making bullshit excuses about gotcha-style difficulty doesn't count. There has been plenty of 8-person content in which a single death spells doom. I fail to see why such challenges can't be shifted to 4-person content.

Play Feast. That is hard 4 man content. It shows that the biggest problem is finding enough healers that can survive the mode, because in hard 4 man content, the burden is highest on healers. Tanks in particular really are incredibly easy in most content, with a lot of the issue mostly being tank swaps; the fact that they had to buff diversion to stupid levels shows how little they can adapt. You literally have only so many cooldowns. DPS can't really do much different than they do in easy content. Most of the hardness would be on the healing end, and not many healers really like that.
