Regarding Dungeon Feedback: Don’t Listen to People Who Don’t Know How to Play

Or...conversely, you overestimate the difficulty of those expansions based on nostalgaic feelings.

Your perspective only considers these expansions currently.
I think Sekia meant these expansions when they were current.
Then, like, it looks more like a constant downwards slope and endwalker was the bottom of it, Dawntrail is just slightly nudging it back up the other way.
At least, that's how I remember it.
This game was effing brutal in the past lol.
That perspective feels also more relevant to the topic.

On the other hand, if she really did mean the expansions in their current state, I mean.... I did Xelphatol today as a tank with another mentor as healer, and we were both really surprised by a line AOE that came out of the second boss like, instantly ? .3 secs cast, barely lol.
Healer instantly died, and it hit me for 50% hp. I didn't even see it coming out. Like, maybe we were missing a mechanic ?
But at the same time, I tried to figure it out, and I couldn't, something I would never say about modern content.
You always know what's up when you get one shot if you pay attention nowadays.
Same with the damage output lol, it was completely unexpected.
Not that it was particularly hard either, but Dawntrail isn't either. :P

There's also like... Stone Vigil ? I don't know if they tuned it in Dawntrail, but man that dungeon is brutal.
Healers barely have a kit at all at that point, and the trash pulls just chew tanks. It's not difficult per se, but it's clearly harder than Dawntrail content, or used to be in endwalker.
Am leveling my war right now, at level 95 with like... item level 640, healer doesn't even need to heal me and barely needs to heal the party ? And this is in like, the latest dungeon I can do, wormor zoqmor or w/e.
Is that really hard ? #doubt

And I mean, I don't know if you want to include alliance raids, but the ivalice raids are pretty annoying. :P
Myths is an absolute joke compared to that. Ivalice is a thing I haven't done since EW tho, maybe, again, that they adjusted it ?

Like, there's a lot of janky content, relics from the past when the game was harder, and they haven't done gold standard pass on everything yet.

I know you have good intentions, but hmm... Road to hell is paved with those I guess ? :P
