The difficulty of Normal Content in this game needs to increase.

No, it's fine for people to discuss the same topic now, but borrowing the nearly 40 pages and tens of thousands of views this thread accumulated back when this was a much bigger issue than it is now, is just a cheap attempt to dwarf topics of discussion that are actually more hotly debated among players right now.

I really don't think that's what's happening here.

Generally, when someone posts something that's been posted a million times before on a forum, they're told to use the search function and post in an existing thread instead of starting a new one.

If people are still discussing it, it's because it's still an issue. The fact that it's an on-going discussion that has been taking place over the course of several expansions doesn't really change anything.

On its own that is a fair point, but since the game already did something to raise difficulty going from EW to DT (mostly speeding things up and arena spam, but okay), that kind of renders the first 37 pages of this thread irrelevant because they're discussing fixes to a balance from a state in which it already no longer exists.

There are times it just isn't useful to just pad the new onto the old.

Imagine buying a current-year model Mercedes and your car manual starts with the instructions on engine maintenance and cranking to start the T-Ford, and goes through every model and make of consumer car ever built before it starts in the last few pages to provide information that is actually relevant to the present and the thing you actually have?

Casual content in Endwalker and Dawntrail are not drastically different. Almost all of the criticisms of Endwalker content hold true today.

They don't get it or care to. They're just looking to argue and complain. I'd just let them, to be honest.
