Who Thought Adding Difficulty Levels To Instanced Quests Was A Good Idea?

[Noitems]

I honestly find it very interesting people are saying they are failing the 5.1 roleplay quest, because IMO it is the easiest one they've put out so far. I mean you got four skills for the final boss that all do something, heck you even get an OGCD which is extremely good for it.

I'm all in favor for them giving people the option if they fail repeatedly, however my first initial reaction to this was just simply "They're really easy though...". Not throwing shade at any players but to me all of these roleplay sessions were all extremely easy, and the only "hard" one being the Hien one in 4.5 simply because it was so absolutely boring pre 5.1 patch since all you really had was a single gcd and a dot.

Want to stress that I'm happy people have the option to this, BUT I feel in turn mixing MSQ required dungeons where the difficulty is harder then these roleplay segments will push some players not as well versed into awkward situations if they do it on DF (if they want to continue without trusts being fully leveled if the game takes that option away).

The fact they allow Trusts is a very big boon for those players, but as we get further in the expac and the mandatory trials for MSQ keep coming I worry about how SE will make it for normal mode for those players. Titania is a perfect example of one of those gatekeepers since it's a fight that does require good dps from the majority to manage through the add phase and it's still a fight regular players can goof up if placement for a newbie is bad.
