the normal content is too easy

[HisShadowX]

titania is easy, though, people are just bad and got carried through other fights (+ did the story ones on very easy) and because it has no ilvl lock, you'll get players with lvl 60 gear so no gear carry, either

I think the issue with Tatania is most of the content for Shadowbringers and more so Endwalker is made for the solo player and that fight forces you to play with real people. Now for the Hardcore Minority they will not understand this but casuals the majority of the players will not watch detailed youtube videos and guides before they go into a fight because it can spoil the story.

I would be more concerned for the Hardcore Minority as with Endwalker you could Trust almost everything, including one of the major Trials in the game.

You don’t need a guide for Titania normal mode. Nothing in this game outside of Savage and Ultimate (and maybe EXs, though those aren’t nearly as hard as they used to be) requires a guide—this seems to be a misconception a lot of people have, and one a lot tend to pin on this “hardcore” mentality when a lot of the “hardcore minority” rarely advocate for guides outside of the content I listed. A lot don’t care what you do in normal content; only high-end content. Stop generalizing.

Titania is just the first 8-man story trial that requires people to pay attention. Unlike other 8-man trials such as Shinryu or Tsukuyomi normal mode, there’s no item level requirement so you get people in there with gear from HW (seen that more times that I really should); and there’s sync on it, so you can’t just outgear it for easier carries. The fight has a DPS check during the adds, which is hit or miss to be met in DFs where people come in undergeared or come in with no idea how to play their jobs. It also has actual mechanics that you can only power through to an extent.

To be honest, it’s no different from Susano normal memes back in SB. Zodiark normal is just like Titania normal in that people have to actually pay attention and can’t just sleep through it. Same with Hydaelyn normal mode. Every normal mode party I’ve gotten for either since Early Access has been… a treat. I’ve had more Vote Abandons in them than I really should, to be honest.

This is the problem when every other piece of content you do hands out participation ribbons.
