The CODDLING of modern ShB/EW newbies has led to insane player skill stratification

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

Developers have coddled the playerbase again and again. They've dumbed down all jobs.

Really?
Even the Crafters and Gatherers?

MAN, we need to rise up and demand them to stop coddling the Crafters and Gatherers.
You know what needs to happen? We need a Crafters and Gatherers Ultimate, or a New DoL & DoH Raid Series.
Make the Jobs and Content Hard Again, there is no reason we dont Wipe against High Level Deposits. The Ocean Fishing Alliance Raid was a Good Attempt, but even Sprouts could Clear it without taking damage.

SE needs to do better.
Hopefully the Next Ocean Fishing Raid will be harder.

Ill bite.
Crafting pre-5.3 was much harder and the rework to allow EVERYONE to be a crafter was a shit decision that literally tanked the marketboard and actual crafting mains got screwed over.
