Overtuned MSQ 4-mans and subpar story ends 12-year journey

if you make a wrong move you're dead with very little chance to recover

I demonstrated with a picture that you can survive getting hit at least once, and actually multiple times as a tank.

actually figure out what you did wrong.

Unless you're doing it with Duty Support, you can figure it out by observing the other players. And with Duty Support you can mostly follow the NPCs (and if you're meant to spread it'll be obvious how they're lining up).

They expect you to read cast names. In order to help people do this, 7.3 changed cast bars so that they also appear under the boss. This means there is no reason to not see casts such as "Left Swipe" which, obviously, means left side is unsafe.

The other thing they expect is for you to read environmental clues such as laser guns appearing in the environment that will soon fire in the pointed direction which even happens in a level 50 dungeon; this becomes rather clear over the course of the earlier dungeons you do in the game, so should be pretty well known by Dawntrail.

Vulnerability stacks should not be a thing in casual content either.

They still want casual players that don't raid to be able to have fun. If the non-raid content actually is something they sleepwalk through as if it's unsynced, it makes the game boring for them.

Even just 15-20 seconds more between the mechanics would help a lot. And 3-5 seconds more before telegraphs nuke would go along way.

There often is nearly that long, actually, it's just that people are not used to looking for environmental clues or at cast names, so they get hit suddenly and think that the split second orange telegraph was the only indication, when the warning was 10 seconds before. Maybe it's just an adjustment phase where players are getting used to this concept.
