Perhaps you're the one living in a completely different reality and clearly have more difficulties than the majority of players - which mind you isn't a problem, but doesn't really excuse the issue from the thread from existing.

Calling anyone that doesn't feel engaged by at least a huge chunk of the game which is 80- content a person that plays with statics is such a stretch.
The thread is about older content having become significantly easier recently. I'm saying that I honest-to-god haven't noticed much fundamentality different since 6.0. In fact, in some cases things seem a bit harder. But I attritube this partially to being grouped with more sprouts than I was late ShB, which makes sense as the expansion has attracted a wave of new players. Which just begs further questions from me as to the experiences of the people in this thread. I have noticed certain things like one-shot mechanics in Ivalice raids no longer one-shotting (which I think is extremely stupid and should be reverted) At the same time, lvl 50 dungeons still have one-shot mechanics, so it's strange. But even in a group of non-sprouts nothing really seems to have changed, what is faceroll content now was faceroll content in ShB, what is challenging content now was challenging content in ShB.

If we're talking about content progressively getting less and less challenging since the game's release, than I would not be able to comment because I have no experiences with the game pre-ShB. All I am saying is whatever you're complaining about has not suddenly gotten worse with EW. Whatever I'm facerolling today I was facerolling throughout ShB. Or maybe I've just misinterpreted this thread.
