The new player experience and how FFXIV fails as an MMO.

[Volgia]

An oft-repeated myth IMO. Sure there is hostility from raiders as is so evident on these boards, but the content itself doesn't put up a wall of hostility. The barrier is one of tedium. Or more generously, it's just a choice.

I mean there is the tedium if you don't like it, but there is also the fact that it kind of neuters newbies from liking it because it gets inaccessible. CBU3 dumbed down jobs in order to make it more accessible to people to go do Extremes+. but they don't understand that the accessibility wasn't on job complexities but on how they have designed their content.

Or they just straight up lied, and dumbed down the jobs because it was easier to design them that way.

100% agree on that.
