In your mind, is challenge the only indicator of what makes a combat encounter fun? Because it's not for me. I absolutely loved Cape Westwind, if only because of the hilarious hype up people gave to newbies. It was AWESOME. It was such a great moment for the community. While yes, it was objectively laughably easy, the community made it one of the more enjoyable encounters.

So yes, even if they hadn't change that, I'd still say it's not boring at all, and quite enjoyable. But then, I'm not someone who is looking for a challenging encounter in my combat situations in FFXIV. I have other games I play for that. And if I really want to get into challenging content in FFXIV, there's a ton of that as well. It's bizarre to me that people focus so much at the bottom of the barrel and new player experience, while not being a new player when there's so much actually challenging content to experience.

I have to image actual raiders laugh when they hear people bemoaning the state of roulettes, when no change could ever make roulette content less braindead for them.
