This post summarizes my feelings on the game since Shadowbringers. Stormblood to me was for the most part good with keeping complexity in jobs without bearing the clunkiness of Heavensward or A Realm Reborn. Nowadays the game is getting easier and easier, yet you do Duty Finder or Party Finder and still see Cure 1 spam, no healer dps, no provokes, proper comboing, and much much much more. This is further exasperated in content like Bozja where people refuse to bring essences or actions because “lul grinding too hard”.

The game can get as easy as possible yet all it does is bore veterans, but also if people don’t care anyway, no easing will help in that matter. Having people easily jump into the game but having to master the craft and have that mastery be difficult is rewarding but also a great way to ease others burden since wasting people’s time is not my idea of a good time, yet too often I end up partying with those who can’t even read the tooltips.
