@Casuals , do you think the message has gotten through?

Bosses literally tell you what they are going to do in their cast bar, so anticipate mechanics. Why complain that you are standing in bad when you are not making an attempt to learn how fights work? There are very few people complaining that dungeons or even normal raids are too hard.

Ahahahaha. Haha.

Just half the player base in DT.

I swear some people need to get out more.

[Asari5]

there were a few who said normal raids are too difficult. so difficult they would never do them again.

guess what? that was on release day because they went in with people of similar skill and wiped several times.
a few weeks later they suddenly had several normal raids pieces and nobody said its too difficult anymore

the same thing happened in other raid tiers. lol
and tbf normal raids and a-raids is the endcontent for casual players so isnt it alright to die a few times. especially when nobody knows the fight your gear is low and you dont have anybidy in your group who can carry you?

I dunno, this thread got pretty deep into the expansion, with less-skilled players struggling with the increase in difficulty, and the skilled ones mostly insulting them as usual.

No, its a loud minority of players on the FFXIV forums who think they represent the population. Go around and ask people in game how they feel, I have. Shout chat, NN, etc. I haven't found a single person in game who actually feels DT is too hard.

"Shut up person with social anxiety disorde, get overr the processing issues, just raid and play like I do" Whatever, I'll just not say anything, sorry.

Bruh its story mode content, I never said go out and learn savage. The game literally tells you what to do, you just have to listen to it. I also don't know what your social anxiety has to do with trying to learn story mode mechanics nor do I understand why you are anxiety dumping on a public forum.

And you know this how?

Do you think all those "Limsa AFKers" that you scorn have time to come to the forums???

How would you have any interaction with players who avoid PvE?

The fundamental issue impacting both sides of this debate is that there is a broad range of skill in the player base. I understand you find it incomprehensible that many FFXIV players have no real interest in dungeons and trials, let alone EX+, but your lack of imagination does not prevent something from being true.

Also, free fashion tip. If you're going to wear spectacles that large, you need to lift your bangs.

It's like the same 10 people posting over and over about how the game is too hard and only hardcore raiders diagree.

Do you understand what you just said?

Only hardcore raiders disagree that the game is too hard.

Yes, quite.

The good news, for you, is that you've won this battle with the people who matter. And I suspect the game will be able to carry on quite well with one third the players of the EW peak and the focus primarily on raiding.

I'm mostly trying to communicate why so many of us feel betrayed.

No I didn't? I sad that the 44 uber casuals out of the million people who play the game called everyone better than them a hardcore raider when most of there weren't. The casual content is largely agreed to be BARELY harder than EW, if at all. Most players think they brought the game back to ShB/SB difficulty.
