I interpret this post more like "There is nothing between casual content and savage content". At the one hand, I don't like how unforgiving savage or ultimate content is as well, it is hard to recover sometimes even with people who cleared it multiple times. I also think the shiva fight probably should have been splitted up into 2 segments, like the raid fights in stormblood.
With Baldesion Arsenal being pushed out a bit by the new addon, the removal of a new PotD iteration this addon, the lacking attractiveness of bluemage raiding and the same formular for every dungeon since ages - I feel like midcore content got a big slap again. So this game is too easy for most content, and once you want something more difficult as casual player, you get stomped by savage and ultimate. Wish they would differentiate it more and give incentives to do ilvl sync dungeons, sync it for more rewards or whatever.
