Going to the same route as WoW. The game is TOO easy

How about use your brain and see what happens when the bosses uses a move?

Larboard cast... everyone on the left got nuked... Stsrboard cast... evrryone on right got nuked... ahh, okay, Larboard hits left, starboard hits right... ahh.

It even telegraphs in the normal mode. No reason to be an idiot, tbh.

Or ooor.... we could use a normal term that everyone on the planet uses thats up to date. No need for name calling damn. It'll be one thing if people were asking for it to not do the move. Thats not what was being talked about. I'm not even saying it's still a problem NOW. what I AM saying is those terms tripped alot of people up when it was new and that wouldn't have happened if it simply used left right up and down. Is it that hard to understand or do we need to call everyone a moron cause SE used out of date terms? It's not the players fault SE used something so out of touch and date. Heck when the japanese players get LEFT and RIGHT why couldn't we get that also? Is all I'm saying.

and yet nobody complains when other enemies use skills which don't tell anything about the aoe shape.

Pretty much this. Also, pretty sure people can't even get the "Left blade" and "Right blade" right in A11. People still get hit by that and it straight up tells you.

Hell, people fail the stack mechanic still.... How many times in like, level 70 raids have you seen someone run away when the stack appears over their head.

You don't need to KNOW what a mechanic's name refers to, just what it DOES, that's why even though the giant circle mechanic in final omega is called "Critical Overflow Bug" people refer to it as a "Defamation" even though it's LITERALLY not called that, because it behaves the same way that "Defamation" in Soul of the Creator: Savage (Alexander Prime A12s) behaves. People in this example are using something in TEXT guides for a fight mechanic that is not called a Defamation, because it's easy for them to explain it to otherss that way. So people are learning, and resolving a mechanic called "Critical Overflow Bug" in Final Omega, calling it a "Defamation" because that's what the text guide for the fight calls it... Even though IT IS NOT CALLED THAT.

Imagine that. Most PFs and players have no idea what the actual thing is called, and can resolve it by looking at a red dot and thinking mentally, "Oh, red dot, gotta run away" instead of processing, "Oh, Critical Overflow Bug... what was that one again??????? OH NO!"

Look at what the thing DOES rather than what it is CALLED. Your life will be easier for it.

I have literally NO IDEA what the Tsunami Debuff is called in Chaos/O9 but I know that if I get a blue thing on me, I will have a water donut around me when the thing ticks down.

This actually kind of makes me wish we could have a second option for our (de)buff display, with the full name of the debuff written above its duration bar, icon on the left, and a final numeric display timer on the right of the bar. That way when someone says "Watch out for <Something by name, even though we can only ever see the image unless we're both on PC and have the time to mouse over our every debuff until we find it>"... we can.
