Chaotic Alliance Raid: More Content for Professional Gamers

[BigCheez]

I don't recall the schism between high-end raiders and the rest of the player base ever being so wide. The raid is an abject failure for that reason alone.

This isn't caused by the chaotic alliance raid. This is caused by how low the skill floor has been pushed.

You can literally AFK through most of the content in the game and as a result, endgame is now populated primarily by people who legitimately have no idea how to play the game.

Imagine if putting the key in the ignition was enough to pass your driving test. The disparity between the average driver and people who actually know how to drive a car would be insurmountable and car crashes would be commonplace. This is essentially what has happened in FFXIV.

I don't think casual content needs to be hard but I think the game would be in a much healthier state if it actually required people to play the game. Maybe tanks shouldn't be able to solo everything. Maybe you shouldn't be able to heal level 100 content exclusively with Cure 1. Maybe it should be possible to run out of resources if a dungeon pull takes way too long to die.
