Players and the game design's mindset has become increasingly individualistic

[HikariKurosawa]

What a miserable post lol. Member tank stance dance? Member kaiten? Member pulling aggro? I looked at the job actions back then and it was a simple game in comparison input-wise. It's like the illusion of difficulty. "But you had to pay attention to when you could actually do your rotation!" "But you had to switch off tank stance!"

Co-dependent game design isn't really good in my opinion. People should be able to just focus on their own execution. I shouldn't have to micromanage someone else's performance to see what I am allowed to do.

progressing there by doing brain-dead roulettes and 71+ Bozja while netflix is on in the background.

In a game with a low bar for success and a high skill ceiling, it is what you make it. You choose the experience you complain about. The problem with modern gamers is they're often just doing something else and brainlessly getting by in the game they're playing. Whether it is watching netflix and botting out in game or watching a streamer while doing the same. You want an engaging experience? Play the game and try your best.
