Difficulty of normal content.

What a mean-spirited thread this has become!

Okay, so the OP committed the cardinal sin of both saying that they find the new content difficult AND expressing the opinion that SE should review that. A demonstrably unpopular opinion that has prompted 40 pages of aggressive replies from players who don't seem able to make a point without resorting to passive-aggression and insults.

I mean, I realise that everyone who took offense at the OP for posting such an unforgivable thread is desperate to put the point across that they disagree through fear that SE might actually listen, but I think the point has been made now! Forty pages of aggression and insults, and a damn YouTube video mocking the OP, pretty much made the point. It's just getting ridiculous now!

I mean, these forums have never exactly been sunshine and daisies but when did it become this toxic?!

Wrong. 40 pages are NOT NEARLY enough of what people like OP need to listen. The opinions of people like OP, who don't actually play the game, have made endwalker post patch the singleplayer sadfest it was. These people need to be publicly ashamed and driven out of the game. This is a mmo, not The Sims 5.

If you say so.

I say that the online equivalent of trying to run them out of town for having an opinion contrary to yours is an unhealthy mindset.

Because people are actually getting what they wanted (harder content) and there's always going to be someone of the people who play this game as a dress up simulator and want everything handed to them to make everything easier, instead of actually trying to learn the mechanics. (There's something to be said of checking said mechanics so that disabled people have a chance, but that's a different topic).

Yeah - I get that, and I don't disagree. I simply take issue with how mean spirited this thread has become. There are far too few replies that offer constructive criticism and far too many that pretty much approach this whole thing as if it's a attack on them personally.

Either do that or we are stuck with another expansion that will be a nothingburger again. No worthwhile post patch content. Just do the easy peasy MSQ and main dungeons, queue into alliance raids to do crystal tower and log off.

I'd just like to point out that I don't entirely agree with the OP. I just dislike the approach that most others have taken to expressing their disagreement.

Sometimes people need to have a HARD reality check on their opinions. I mean no ill will towards you, but OP must be taught their place.

Taught their place? It's a bloody game.

[talloran]

Taught their place? It's a bloody game.

Why are they complaining about the difficulty, then? The argument goes both ways. It's a bloody game, after all.

Yeah that's the whole point, stop complaining over normal difficulty and play the game, it's not a visual novel where you just sit and watch.

OP is whinning about the """""serious""""" player having a lot of content and the that "normal" difficulty should be a true free pass ( and to be honest, it is, you can kill the boss spamming one attack and using "WASD", it will just take a while) and that when they learned the fight the other dont learn at the same rythme.

If you want to do a boss fight where the boss only auto attack one tank maybe you should just dont do the fight and go look the cutscene on youtube.

Worst of all if you do that, the "casual" who want to try something harder will meet a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE wall , far taller than the one you have right now, so more difficult to adapt and learn.

It's not a problem to die in a fight , that's the base of learning, if you dont want to learn a fight, dont do it and stop complaining.

You should really head over to WoW. They love super toxic people.

You should stop sheltering lazy people who don't want to bother on even trying to learn a new mechanic. You don't think people like OP are toxic? They literally confessed grieving the fight by staying dead on the ground. Stop trying to throw the word "toxic" at people who tell you to get a good a the game.
