    I said this long time ago and nobody seemed to agree.

    I don't even know why this isn't a thing yet. "Oh but the new players are going to have an underwhelming experience if you have all your spells readily available at Sastasha". Because I can't pull the entire dungeon in Sastasha and watch a pack of 20 mobs meld in literally 5 seconds just by pressing 2 buttons. We gotta make sure they last 5 seconds instead of 3 so that the new players don't get their experience ruined.

    Sometimes I wonder if people are even serious at this point.

    It's not just about the fact that you want to melt everything, these early levels are meant to be an easy instance for new players to get used to being in a group setting. How is the tank going to learn the basics of tanking when you have the summoner nuking the arena. How is a healer going to learn the basics of healing when a tank can just survive everything on their own. By nuking the dungeon, you strip away the purpose of the dungeon.

    I...have to agree here. The first dungeon I ever tanked was Halatali - sounds like a joke, right? but little sprout me was terrified (to be fair though, this was back when PLD's only "aoe" was Flash, but point still stands that everyone has to start somewhere)

    At least give melees an aoe before lv 35 ish though.

    so apparently the only option that doesn't "stress the newbies" is either pressing 1211111111, or do nothing at all.
