Alrighty! Story games are not for everyone. Not everyone can sit through Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter either.

just to get caught by some one hit kill Boss move, which you can't avoid because you don't know the mechanics.
When you learn the game enough, I'm sure you'll be able to anticipate them. You're just not giving yourself the time to learn the game and quitting abruptly over it tbh.

That's one of the worst things you can do as a developer when it comes to Boss battles... One hit kills.
Depends on gear and role. Maybe try picking a tank. Hardly anything 1hits in this game, especially in story content.

As Humans, we are not CPUs. We have to see something, think and then react and that's only if what we see is comprehensive to begin with.
See cast bar or orange aoe. React within 3 seconds (which is ages). Isn't a problem normally.

This is why players end up blaming other players like Healers when the party gets whiped.
People rarely blame in this game. They just retry the fight and beat it with the hindsight.

Having NPCs for all dungeons would have been a HUGE help because it would have allowed players to learn by doing it over and over and then later run with Humans once they had the mechanics down perfect.
All the required dungeons have NPC support.
