Why do casuals act as if it's the end of the world when suggesting?

[Midareyukki]

God forbid when you suggest they should make content just a little bit more difficult, you get people that flip out.

Every casual that sees this behave as if their whole world is crumbling and they take that statement and exaggerate it reading it like: "All content needs to be Extreme/Savage Difficulty! Screw all the Casuals! Cater to the small minority! HOO-RAH!"

I mean, just chill. There is just no in between with these people, they just think there is only braindead easy and elite hardcore difficult, nothing in the middle. Dungeons are braindead easy you can clear it with just using your 1-2-3 buttons and a healbot, sure it will take longer but it is still possible.

My garbage filthy casul take is:

- Thordan was really bad. Thordan EX was great.
- Shinryu was amazing. Shinryu EX was even better. People complained it was too hard for casual players, but it honestly just tested to see if you knew mechanics by now.
- Hades was amazing as well. Hades EX was a bit boring but still good. I didn't see people complain, and I think at this point the dev team had faith in people being able to recognize mechanics and animation tells.
- Endsinger was just bull, Endsinger EX is even worse. The meteors are finnicky as all hell, the timing is too strict and the damage is punishing. I'm sorry for not having fast reflexes to awkward "mechanics", but this thing isn't hard. It's just bull.

The other fights were actually challenging for casual-level players. Endsinger is just fake difficulty because it relies on you having fast reflexes. Not everyone is that quick to process what's going on or judge the limits of an AoE.

It's not that it's hard. Because I understand the mechanic. And I can execute it, most people can. I just don't like it because I'm slow and it requires me to have dumb reflexes and I'm just not the sort of guy to want that sort of impulse. I like mechanical difficulty in other ways, I've played some savage tiers on-content and I enjoyed them. Endsinger is just not fun.

The Omega Raids were fun. The Eden raids teetered on "fun" and "exhausting". Even the current tier only has one fight I don't enjoy, and that's because I'm colourblind, so orange on orange on red on orange isn't particularly indicative for me. But Endsinger? I just can't deal with it.
