There's also an argument to be made that Endwalker's extreme trials are a little too hard for midcore. Take EX5 for example. That one is commonly considered an "easy" extreme. But do you really expect players taking their first steps into non-casual content to be able to handle the Flamespire Brand/Sweeping Immolation sequence? My experience with EX's this expansion have been that after the initial wave of Savage raiders have left the scene, they become very hard to clear in random PuGs.


Am I alone in believing these things a problem?
