By this, I mean that you can skip many boss mechanics easily. I feel this is especially problematic in Aglaia, where the fights are extremely short and you miss many fun mechanics with current gear. For example, in the final boss, Nald'thal, you will almost always skip the scale mechanic, causing new players to miss out on this mechanic. I feel this is harmful to the new player experience, as they will be unable to see these mechanics unless their group has unusually low dps.

If anyone can tell me why there isn't ilvl sync for the first tiers of raids or the first alliance raid, I would like to know, please!

I feel bad whenever I run such raids with new players and they miss out on some of the experience due to the party being too well geared. I love FFXIV and want people to be able to enjoy the full experience for years to come.
Please no, I don't want my alliance roulette taking like 40 mins each time else ill stop running it.
