Square Enix, please nerf the difficulty of the Bozjan critical engagements.

I don't know why we're now seeing hardcore content in what is supposed to be an easy, casual grinding experience.

these engagements provide double the mettle as regular FATEs.

I think you've just answered your own question. If you want the easier grind, you can stick to skirmishes and it'll just take longer.

Or just do FATEs outside of Bozja if you want just the weapons upgrade.

Bozja is "casual" content that the devs intended to be for casual players like me. It shouldn't be filled to the brim with hardcore fights.

Where was that stated? In the live letter, it said Bozja contained additional challenge that you can take if you want. The casual content is the skirmish, and the additional challenge is the critical engagement, especially the 1v1.

If the deaths do not decrease my mettle it would be one issue. But on top of being too hard, these critical engagements also reduce your mettle? That's a bit too much don't you think?

Nope, because decreasing mettle doesn't decrease rank.
