The Game is Too Easy

[AngryLion]

The game is too easy that you don't need to do anything. Seriously, this game feels like a CGI-movie. The content have been dumbed down so much that it is a walk & click simulator at this point. Most dungeons & raid encounters (except savage) can be done without looking to screen. The MSQ is all teleport and talk. I want to play the game instead of watching cutscenes for the eternity. And what's more the game gives you items for free so you don't need to anything to get them and progress. Seriously, you are killing your own game. Remove free items, add some difficulty to the game. You are losing players like me.

Play savage. There's a reason why there's difficulty levels. And if it's still not for you, bye. I heard there's a new WOW. Curious about that one too. It's okay to like other games.

Try dipping your toes into harder content. You will probably see the game's difficulty differently.

I agree that the story could be more interactive, but it's too late for that now. It'll never change the 100 levels of mostly cutscenes.

For teleporting, at least you have the option of not doing that if you want to experience traveling between cities. It saves time for when you aren't RPing the MSQ and just want to get somewhere quick.

Easy content is easier than it needs to be, but we've had that debate for years and they only make it easier, by making anything that usually wipes multiple people exclusive to high-end content.

people cry when they add anything even remotely difficult to the msq. just look at that one quest in endwalker that they had to nerf because it was filtering people like crazy

Well okay I played savage, month, at most two, and I got all the gear I needed.
There's just not enough reward throughout the content overall. There's deep dungeons, quantum, field ops, criterions but they don't have any rewards so no incentive to do them.

They should just add a story mode or something.

Garlemald was one of the only areas in the MSQ that actually had a lot of production value with solo duties here and there (the intro ambush when you first get there, thancred's infiltration mission, in from the cold, etc). It suddenly felt that you know, we were playing the actual game a little more.

But that's the big stumbling block right? Production value. The MSQ usually has very little beyond cutscenes with basic back to back dialog or animations/emotes, because it requires time, resources and production efforts, which they aren't ready to add to even their story segments.

[Clerith]

The game lacks good content for midcore players. But I believe they have made some improvements there (Evercold). We'll have to wait and see.

They're never going to put any gameplay in the MSQ ever again. They learned after they were pestered enough to put a very easy mode option.
