The difficulty of Normal Content in this game needs to increase.

Then we have the first EW trial, which just like the extreme version, I've seen people flat out unable to do until I put a Dorito on myself.

This is what actually happens when you gate the MSQ behind hard content.

People learn from mistakes, its the natural way of things.

If the content before this had prepared people for this trial, then they would not be struggling with it.

Every time you wipe, you just learned something and got better at the game.

Wiping is a natural way to learn.

The thing is, not everyone is interested in getting better at the game. Some people just want to play the game at the easiest difficulty possible because this is how they find their fun. Those type of players are more likely to outright quit if they find it too hard instead of getting better.
Sure I personally wouldn't mind if the MSQ was a little more exciting but make it too hard and we'll just lose players. And I don't think it's a good thing for the game to gatekeep very casual players from accessing features like Island Sanctuary because they couldn't "git good".
