Why is the majority of the content in the game not ilv capped???

[HyoMinPark]

We can't have more challenging content because every time challenging content appears, people complain about it. And it started in 2.0 with the original Pharos Sirius and Amdapor Keep dungeons. (Demon Wall used to have bees - did you know that? They took them out because people said they were too hard.)

Other content that I've known to be asked to be nerfed:
- Final Steps of Faith
- Weeping City of Mhach
- Dun Scaith
- Baelsar's Wall (I think I saw a thread appear here saying it was too hard back in the day)
- Royal Menagerie
- Castrum Fluminis
- Rabanastre
- Ridorana
- The Will of the Moon MSQ instance
- The most recent MSQ instance
- The Burn

From MSQ solo instances to dungeons to 24-mans and 8-mans, people complain. And none of these pieces of content are particularly hard to begin with, but people don't want to put in effort for them. And the developers don't want things to be too punishing (outside of high end content, which is still not nearly as punishing as it used to be - barring Ultimate, but they've said Ultimate is a completely different beast of a content compared to anything else in this game). So, everything is easy and the syncs aren't as strict. Honestly, leveling dungeons have stricter syncs than the Expert dungeons, but Expert dungeons have been jokes for a while now - even while current.
Never forget doing Swallow's Compass for the first time and healing purely with oGCDs and a regen (or Eos + Excog when I did it on SCH).


Best thing I can suggest is trying to find a group of like-minded people, and do the content at minimum item level or lower if you really want a challenge. Or you could try your hand at Ultimate, which does enforce a strict sync to preserve difficulty - UCoB is i345 and UwU is i375.
