An offering of help for the struggling players in casual content

[Shistar]

We've been promised in 8.0 the current boss fight design philosophy will be pushed even further (see 7.2 changes to BLM as one example)

I would love to see them go back to the ARR-style with its quirky mechs. Didn't they talk more about job changes rather than boss fight design, or where did they also mention the latter one? I'm guessing you mean YoshiP's comment about falling asleep while doing EW dungeons.

There are many who dislike this design. There are also an increasing number of players who, however many guides they watch and help they receive, find the fights too difficult. I have watched my FC dissolve because of this.

That's truly sad. I hope your FC can find content or another game to enjoy.
I've seen you in other threads talking about your struggles with the current fight design and solo duties. Have you managed to finish MSQ? If you or any of your friends needs a hand, I'm happy to help.
