Difficulty of normal content.

This comment in Arthars's video raises a great point.

See, people is dismissing this issue thinking they are not affected are wrong. You are in the same boat with people like me whether you like it or not.

And I already made the decision of not even trying M3 or M4, but the alternative, the malicious compliance way, would be to just to go to the raids and just stand there doing some semblance of a rotation, zero effort of doing mechanics, and when I die and get raised I do it again. "Sorry guys, I'm still learning the fight. Tee hee! ^_^" (might even turn off skip of watched cutscenes to sell the illusion). And when the healers get tired or expending MP on my sorry butt, I just gonna lie down in the floor, watching something on the other monitor. But I will sure fit and perky for the moment of rolling the loot. Or maybe I'll just finish whatever I was watching before I roll, that would be fun for M4 that I'm pretty sure must have a minion.

But you see I already decided that I gonna protest (and yes, I think deserves to be protested) by just not doing it (already said it in the OP) and not go with the second option because a) I'm not an as$hole, and b) as I said I don't believe the people in this forum represent the community at large and I would be griefing the wrong people.


On a completely unrelated note, I love all the people saying that criterion weren't played because of the rewards, Xeno already covered that on a video. You all love so much the challenge for the sake of a challenge that you kick the content under the rug the second it doesn't reward you with something to showoff how much of a Big Boy Gamer you are!
If that's is the rule, let me tell that undyable gear and some ts are not reward enough for the difficulty of these normal raids.

Hey, can somebody clarify something for me, isn't that reportable? Just dying, refusing raids and refusing to play the game? Did you get through all the tougher fights by just dying and letting somebody carry you through it?
This is not massively difficult content. You're max level. You should know what you're doing by now.

Yes, it is, as I stated a little above, and for anybody who sees anybody else try to pull that little stunt, the specific violation here is obstruction of play, potentially grief tactics aswell.

Thanks for the clarification. Didn't see your post at the time, so that's good to know in case I see somebody like OP pulling that little stunt.
I'm still shocked they managed to get by Stormblood's last boss, to be frank. I did that fight the week Stormblood came out, it took a couple of lockouts because that fight had teeth.
