Here we go again

Being an older gamer, been playing since ff14 came out, Meso Terminal is unplayable for me on the 4 bosses that chain to you encounter due to the dodge mechanics firing to quickly.It would be nice to have a easier mode choice when doing it with the npc's to "progress thru the story" as I feel it's better to npc it first so people aren't upset if i die as a healer. I am not asking for an easier mode for que'ing just for doing it with npc's heck i don't need any loot in an easy mode option either but i do feel that we all should have content we can get thru if its mandatory for the story.

I just want to say you're not alone in this. I struggled like hell with it - fortunately had a really patient Scholar, and a RDM, who were both willing to rez me when the mechanics got the better of my inability to react as quickly as required.

I haven't even been able to face the new Alliance Raid yet and, to be honest, I'm not certain I will engage in it. A pity to feel the need to skip over new content, but from what friends who've already played it (and are far better at the game than I am) have said it's challenging and absolutely full of DDR mechanics. In which case if I were to engage in it I'd be A: a burden, B: very much dead the majority of the time and C: miserable. And what's the point in that?

Sadly, as much as I love the game I'm starting to think it isn't for someone like me anymore - particularly considering how I'm finding I actively avoid the newer content.
