Please implement something to teach players how to play

To the above, is the solution just to make the game more challenging then?

I had already reached the same conclusion before I posted; its up to people to have a want to get better for them to get better.

I really don't like that conclusion though. There has to be SOMETHING to shift the paradigm from bare minimum wins the day.

That does not really work, then you have people crying the game is too hard (reason they do not even try to get better). Hence why they added easy and very easy modes when those missions are already way way way too easy even on normal. You literally have to intentionally force yourself to lose even on normal.
But if you mention it, you are toxic elitist. The truth is that these people only care for themselves and have no regards if the group around them feel uncomfortable. They are the vocal so they are being listened aswell

That's not the case for everyone at every stage of their journey.

I know there were some solo duties that I failed and not for lack of trying to play my best when I leveling up my first class - Black Mage. I've never been an ice mage and I AoE when appropriate and use the appropriate Fire and Blizzard spells.

I do however feel that it should only open up Easy after failing on Normal and you have to fail on Easy to get Very Easy to open up.

Have had fewer of those instances on an alt that I've leveling up on a different class so not sure if due to me being better at the game or if I'm just better at my alt class than the main class.
