Here we go again

I've been playing since 2.0 launch... And I get it. A lot of people are good at this game. They want hard content. That's fine. But you can go specifically into the menu and choose hard content to play that's there for you. They create content for you. This shit. This was annoying as hell. I died six times trying to finish this msq dungeon. I like fun mechanics. I like being on my toes but dying. If you get hit at all and having a debuff that kills you instantly, I don't understand. I feel like the devs have no idea how to balance this game. Between casual players and hardcore players. The hardcore players have hardcore modes to play casual. Gamers don't have shit. Everything has been ramped up because the player base keeps whining and bitching that it's not hard enough. Go play your hard content. Go do Savage go do unreal. Leave the msq dungeons for us who just want to play this game and have fun, I'm even playing with the NPC dungeon trust system and I still can't finish this msq dungeon. Dungeon. This is about the last straw to make me unsaid. I don't want to throw my controller across the room because some of the player base wines that it's not difficult enough when they already have difficult content.

This isnt about wanting hard content, this isn't the raiders and people who like difficulty coming after you. The devs ramped up dungeons ever so slightly because they themselves didn't enjoy how easy and streamlined EW dungeons were. Even in DT FFXIV dungeons are some of the easiest dungeon content in the MMO genre.

I get that you're frustrated but if you keep trying you will get it, none of these mechanics are anything new that you haven't seen 100 times they are just presented in a new way.

Please define what you mean by fun mechanics because that is subjective and I found the mechanics fun.

If you can't clear this on trust you might need to re-evaluate your basics and I mean that in the kindest way.

You are also factually wrong the game has been dumbed down because people want it easier. Dragoon was gutted because it was too busy apparently, VPR was reworked because it was busy, BLM was taken out back and put to sleep. People on reddit and in these forums argue that PCT shouldn't have to paint because its too much to worry about.

Last month when the forked tower stuff blew up casuals said they wanted non savage/extreme content, that was approachable, not brain-dead and didn't require and time commitment or guide. This is what they wanted but now its too hard. People are never happy.

Yoshi actively plays the game and, himself, verbatim, has stated "I fall asleep sometimes while I do dungeons."

Some players need to think about that.

But I'll sell the solution ahead of time: That's not good. The new dungeon requiring you to stimulate your brain just the slightest bit is healthy for the long term and should remain the standard going forward.
