We need expansion/duty bans and easier/harder modes of duties.

Why even write a post if you are going to sign it off with “but yall toxic so you won’t agree with me anyway”

Has probably been reading a certain other thread of a similar nature.

They're mad that they're losing their social hangout game because we're finally taking it back. Being passive aggressive and giving up are all they know how to do when faced with any hardship.

Troll thread saying whole expansion is bad. Maybe it's you. You're the problem. no matter how good anything is, a grumpy person can make it out to be the worst thing ever.

Dude, if you are struggling to play the game, ask for help. It's an MMO. All those 'toxic elitist' raiders you probably dismiss are generally some of the nicest and most helpful players you will meet. If it's really that bad, go ask for help. Go to the balance, go to any other place that raiders go. Wanting to improve is something we all love to see. What we hate to see is whining about content that you are barely even trying in. There is no midcore in your MSQ. You just refused to improve over the past two expansions, and just lucked out on those expansions being absolutely toothless in their MSQ content.

Could I word this nicer? Probably. I don't particularly care though. If you want to have a better experience in this game, just take a nice deep breath, calm down, and ask some players better than you for advice. You might make some new friends, have a lot of fun, and start enjoying the game a lot more again. But then again, what do I know? Clearly I was just born able to play the game.

Yeah I think I should be allowed to ban ARR/HW content from roulette because of how godawfully boring they are.

[LilyPendragon]

I like the idea of being able to opt out of certain duties in some roulettes, but just very few. Let's say you can opt out of 3 duties each in leveling, high level, trials, normal raid and alliance raid. That way you can avoid the content you REALLY don't like,

Hmm, sadly I think I would even have my wishlist if it were 3 for each:

Alliance: Paradigm's Breach, Void Ark, Syrcus Tower

Trials: Moogles, Bismark, that 50 ascian fight (Nabriales?)

Levelling: Vanaspati, Copperbell, Ifrit

Normals: Refurbisher, A2, and that one where you turn into a gorilla (Lamebrix?)

However as much as the lizard part of my brain jumps at the idea, I think if you gave players 3 vetoes in each category it wouldn't be long before people were demanding more

Who are "we", exactly?

[KomachiShikibu]

I'm not sure the definition of "Majority" is right here. 9/10 times I run any Dawntrail dungeon, there are no deaths at all

[niwaar]

Dawntrail has shown a lot to me of the coming days that its been out, being sorry to say. Some of the absolute worst duties in the game. The whole expansion from MSQ to combat being completely awful.

Though seeing how... kind of toxic this forums become along with reddit. I'm sure I'll have the opposite opinion.

No, and yes we aren't going to agree with you. Oh and btw, disagreeing with you isn't Toxic. Telling you, you are full of @@$@!#! is toxic...

DT Dungeon and boss design has been a breath of fresh air for a lot of us who have endured since the era of Brayflox Hardstop (Hard), and Ampador Keep. Most bosses are interesting and engaging, and with the ex1ception of the final MSQ dungeon none of mechanics that are "binary". Most encounters are recoverable if you make minor mistakes and are a wipe if you continually make them. I am not going to justify the job design/rebalance of this expansion as most everyone got a very boring addition to their toolkit. Hell Summoner's got a literally lift of an ability we've had since Stormblood in (Solar Bahamut=Demi-Bahamut x Demi-Phoenix with zero functional changes) But you can't tell me that things are hard. You just come off as a cry baby who doesnt like other people.

As for "expansion bans"... they will never do it, what they need to stop is 4 level 90+ people getting Aurum Vale. That 100% needs to stop. The entire point of the Roulette's is to keep the game healthy, if you were able to "ban ARR" from your roulette, everyone would do it as soon as they hit Duak Vigil and the game could never get new players. So quit your unreasonable demands.
