One shot mechanics in Normal Raids

[Stanelis]

It's not a question of intellect or not understanding the mechanic, at least in my case. I have three university degrees, and I grasp the concept of what is happening very well. But I have directional dyslexia - I cannot process directional instructions - and this mechanic is almost impossible for me. I am unable to distinguish left from right or the cardinal points of the compass from each other, and trying to do this in a stressful situation scrambles my brain. Something like this - where I'm required to compute the correct place to stand based on information coming from (literally) two different directions is impossible for me. At least at the speed required in a raid battle. In RL I dread being asked for directions as I am unable to give these coherently, so I'm sure you can imagine how very hard this fight is for me.

I'm very lucky to have a group of friends to do stuff like this with, they understand my disability and are incredible patient. We can also communicate via voice which is a huge bonus.

My point is, don't assume someone is stupid because they're struggling. And doing this with a group you know and can communicate with via voice most definitely makes a huge difference. We still wiped several times while everyone else was figuring it out, but we did clear it within the allotted time

I'm not telling people are stupid or giving judgment but making a case for situations like yours. Not everyone can process information at the same speed, yet E7 clearly check your ability to process information and the speed at which you do so. It seems lmore like a mechanic designed by a computer scientist, designed to be solved in an algorithmic way, than a mechanic designed by a game designer.

Who said it's designed for people with low skill level? Lower skill level than what is needed for Savage, certainly, but optional content at max level is not necessarily for low skill level.

SE did after people complained in ARR because they couldn't experience the story of the coil of bahamut.
